We all know that geeks are the new black, right? Women like geeks. Forget those muscular football players and the chiseled faces of the hot movie stars. I am here to tell you a little secret: Women dig big brains. Some male geeks have already discovered this secret but a lot of you are still polishing your techniques. Before the explosion of technology, a lot of guys who had to rely on their brains to get women would use things like the infamous “mix tape.” We are forever grateful to a hot geek who can fix our computer, hook up our wireless network, and sync our iPod without blinking. Of course, many of us can do these things for ourselves, but what’s the point in admitting this when we can find a cute, geeky Mac addict to do it for us?
So here is your opportunity to tell us your best geek pick-up line. “Got Mac?” just isn’t that original, really. Any geek with a big brain knows that creativity, combined with individual wit and humor, goes a long way. And who says this is limited only to men? Come on all you female geeks, surely you have a few witticisms up your sleeve (or stored in your iPhone) to impress those not-so-geeky men.
Leave your submissions in the comments, along with your email address and website address (if you have one). Originality and sense of humor will go a long way. In fact, our comments section will accommodate Seesmic videos, so put your geek talents to work. The summer TV schedule is a little slow right now, so video entertainment is desperately needed.
We will select two winners from the submissions (and I’m not above taking bribes from the cuter geeks but I can’t speak for the male members of the crew here). The winners will receive an iPod case of their choice from Fabrix Cases. We will also choose 5 submissions to be made into t-shirts that will be offered to Macgasm readers in the future.
Get your geek on. The contest runs through July 25, 2008, with the winners announced on July 31, 2008.

That said, I don't think that geeks really use pick-up lines. I think we work over time – at least, in my case, we became friends, then a couple.

I'm not sure how successful fixing someone's laptop would be. I think I'd lose all interest after that. ;)

I suppose I'm exempt, but hopefully I can at least help up the ante..
… Or, alternately, not. This is hard. If geeks could come up with pick up lines, we wouldn't have the legendary chick problems that we have.
Gah. I've got nothin'. There is some sort of rumbling in the back of my brain about the inherent perviness of the term “flash drive' though.
Maybe something to do with ports?

When my hubby and I were just barely dating, we were talking about old scifi and space-horror flicks.
A bit of backstory: I sometimes have noise-interference, so often times I hear something completely different than what was said. I suspect something's amiss with my hearing when the conversation goes completely bonkers, so I either try to go along with the flow, pretending I'm following, or I'll ask them to repeat themselves.
So, when my husband — new boyfriend at the time — said: “Buck Rogers is so horny”, I just stared at him, thinking I'd definitely misheard him. Until his eyes grew large as plates, his face turned beet red, and he buried his face onto his knees.
I still ROFL when I think of that, and he gets embarrassed all over, but he chuckles too.
So, not exactly a “come on” line, but it sure was geeky with definite undertones of wanting “it”.

I forgot to include WHY he said what he said (because I had to pick him up from work in a few minutes).
He was going to say CORNY, but decided at the last minute to use HOKEY, well you get the rest.
