Argument by re-definition:
No true geek would value the opposite sex, or for that matter, any sex at all, while surrounded by their computer equipment and sexy code

Even without arguing about what a geek IS, though, you still have to learn that, no matter how many people in normal society believe finding a mate and settling down to breed for life is the single most important goal in the world, not everyone shares this view. These people need to get over themselves, and stop sneering at anyone who doesn't meet THEIR standards of perfection.

But they did all shell out big bucks to have simulated lives in place of actual lives. They just don't want to do this in PUBLIC. Which is what an on-line game is. You can find plenty of geeks willing to justify publically powerlevelling an orc avatar, but how many will you find willing to admit that their virtual girlfriend is the closest they've ever been to the opposite sex?

that tons of people didn't jump at the chance to spend all their time playing a simulated real life.
