You're giving me Empire!

You’re giving me Empire!

Welcome Bridgette to the show as she and I talk about the importance of grooming, discuss the finer points of fashion, and tackle the tricky topic of hats in this episode. Bridgette shares sorority stories, tells us about “Hot Spots,” shaving mishaps. and we dispel the rumor that only slutty girls shave above the knee. The first date should be treated like a job interview: Always be true to who you are, just make sure you’re presenting the best possible version of “You.”

Enjoy!

Join us while Kris and I argue about the effectiveness of pick-up lines and discuss the benefits of honesty, the problem with arrogance, and the violation of boundaries. We share personal experiences, give examples of doing it wrong, and make suggestions for questions to ask when meeting someone for the first time.

So, be polite, be calm, learn from your mistakes, and as always, BE BRAVE – just remember: Other people are people too.

Episode 13 – VD and You: A Geek’s Guide to Valentine’s Day

dead-cupidJoin Q and me as we take a bitter and resentful look at Valentine’s Day and the commercialized nightmare it’s become. Wade through the jaded rhetoric to find ideas and suggestions for things to do if you’re in a relationship, and solutions for ways to deal with the holiday when you’re single. We discuss “Single Awareness Day,” and suggest that the whole holiday be renamed “Steak and a Blowjob Day.” Brought to you early for the express purpose of warning you that the See’s Candies Kiosk at the mall is only temporary – so you gotta get there in time!

We're ready to get you signed up!

We’re ready to get you signed up!

This past weekend, Mating Habits of the Modern Geek held our first d/t= Speed Dating! event at Atomic Empire in Durham. With the exception of a few minor logistical issues (I rush everything!) it was an overall success.  It was great to meet so many new people, and even meet a couple of podcast fans!

We had 13 people come out and give it a shot…and some of those were even women! I know, I know; I need to market to the female audience more aggressively. It’s on the board for next time.

Next time!? Did you hear we’re doing it again?

Indeed – Saturday, February 2nd, 7pm back at Atomic Empire.

Same registration rules as before. To pre-reg, just visit this link and fill in the form:

So, if you missed the first one, come out and give it a try.  If you had a blast last weekend, come back out and meet a whole new group of people.  Be Brave!

Episode 12 – Geeks Dating Non-Geeks: Interspecies Relations

Cycle 3 is here!

And we’re back with William to dicuss the phenomenon of Geeks and Non-Geeks, living together, mass hysteria.

Ghostbusters? Anyone? Ahem…

Prompted by a podcast listener who wanted to know how to break into the geek scene, we discuss how to approach a geek, how to respond to a geek’s approach, and why Muggles be trippin’.

As geekdom becomes more mainstream, non-geeks are starting to notice how much fun we’re having, and want to see what all the fuss is about. We encourage you to “Be an Ambassador to Your Fandom”, stop showing off, and be open to learning new things.

Oh, and non-geeks, we are trying. You have to give us a chance — nay, six chances to get a conversation right 🙂

Here’s a short little promo podcast with a bonus Holiday Sleepy Extravaganza Mini-Episode tacked on to the end.  Listen to what we have coming up in 2013 and what’s in store for Cycle 3.  After you’ve been properly promoted to, sit back and try to contain your excitment while you listen to Tim, his wife Danielle, Mark, JJ, and myself sluggishly navigate the topic of Surviving The Holidays with your Significant Other.  Curse you tryptophan and booze!  Enjoy, and see you next year 😉

Updates and Sneek Peeks for 2013!

Hey Everyone!

If you haven’t heard the good news from other sources, our WordPress.org site has moved to:

http://matinghabitsofthemoderngeek.com/

Yes, we have our own personal hosting service and domain name – I expect things to get more interesting (read: Complicated) in the near future.

But that’s not all we’ve done – oh, no. We’re all set for our first of what I hope will be many monthly events:

d/t = Speed Dating!

Get it…distance over time equals speed…dating?

Anyway, this event will take place Saturday, January 5th at 7 pm at Atomic Empire in Durham, NC. There is a link to the registration form on the new site here:

http://matinghabitsofthemoderngeek.com/?page_id=10

It’s only $5, and Atomic Empire has sodas, snacks, and 6 taps of DRAFT BEER from local breweries. Oh, yeah, and things like comics, action figures, and MTG cards…whatevs.

But Wait! There’s more! Cycle 3 of The Podcast will return in full force begining January 3rd and will update biweekly as before. In the first cycle of 2013, we’ll be discussing things like What to wear on the first date, A Geeks Guide to Valentines Day, Geeks dating Non-geeks, and THE INFAMOUS SEX EPISODE, in addition to some others here and there.

Stay tuned, and also be on the lookout for a special Holiday Edition of Mating Habits due out in the next couple of days. It’s a promo special, but it’s free.

Happy Holidays, and remember to Be Brave!
