Is it simply a desire to relive their childhood? Or perhaps there is a piece of geeky genetic code that requires intellectual stimulation. Who knows, maybe it's a Freudian thing… Enthusiastic and dedicated, geeks are known for their deep-seated interests and their enthusiasm for recreational pursuits. Regardless of age, they are drawn to the pleasures of playing, be it through board games, video games, or any other activity. What drives their passion for these hobbies? Is it a desire to recapture their youth or a natural proclivity towards mental stimulation?

Geeks, unlike the lower lifeforms known as nerds, have lives. They have things to do that are in the outside world. Of course, this is usually done with other geeks, but that's not the point. The point is, that geeks are not necessarily the outcasts society often believes they are. The fact is that society isn't cool enough to be included in our activities. Geeks, in contrast to nerds, lead a balanced life. They engage in activities that take them beyond the confines of their homes. While they often partake in these activities with fellow geeks, it is important to note that they are not the social pariahs that society deems them to be. The reality is that society is not up to par with our interests and cannot keep up with our pursuits.

RELATIONSHIPS, SEX, AND GENDER RELATIONSHIPS, SEX, AND GENDER
====== ======
While many geeks are highly successful at having relationships, a good many more are not. While some geeks are able to maintain successful relationships, a significant number struggle in this area. Historically, geeks have had difficulties with sexual experiences, often leading to a lack thereof. As a result, it is crucial for geeks to be open to discussing and quantifying their sexual encounters.
Geeks have traditionally had problems with sex (ie, they never have any). Because geeks are so wrapped up in their sexuality (or lack of sexuality), it is important that the geek be willing to quantify their sexual experiences. this coding system can indicate the gender of a geek, and it is important to share one's preferred pronouns. These pronouns should always be written in lowercase to avoid any confusion with current or future geekcode, which typically uses capital letters. Finally, adding a modifier can offer insight into one's success with relationships and sexual experiences.
This code also is used to denote the gender of the geek.
Share your pronouns followed by the modifier to show how successful you have been with relationships and sex.
Pronouns should always be lowercase to prevent them from being mistaken for current or future geekcode (which is capitalized in most cases).
