Geeks are not really anti-social

Maybe selective is more like it.

If geeks are really anti-social, how could you explain Linux Users’ Groups, MUDs, programming language users’ groups, and so on? Isn’t that being social?

The stereotype that geeks are anti-social is bleh if you ask me, especially when you think about that. And geeks do go out drinking, dancing, enjoying themselves in concerts, among others. It’s probably not always the stereotypical way of enjoying the events but still, geeks do that too. And it’s not necessarily as frequent as stereotypical party animals but I do know geeks who would be considered the life of the parties they go to. :)

Ah, stereotypes.

Indeedy ;D

I think geeks are just people who love learning. And, of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t be friendly and charming and outgoing, right?
