Episode 15 — Dress Code: Common First-Date Errors

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Kelley

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!

Episode 14 – Confident vs Creepy: How to Flirt without a Restraining Order

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Kelley

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

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Kelley

Join 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!

d/t=Speed Dating – What a Success!

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Kelley

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

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Kelley

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 🙂

The Holiday Episode!

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Kelley

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 😉
