This is going to be one of my stranger rules, however I think it could be one of the most important ones. DON'T blow off the geeky guys. This could work for people of almost any age, but it is most important for women still in school. Here are the reasons I highly recommend the "geeky" guys. First and foremost, they are much more open to expressing their feelings than a manly man. Burly cavemen feel the urge to keep up with their rugged status and can't be bothered with emotions. Geeks are, without a doubt, going to fight to keep you. No matter who you are, they will always feel you are too good for them (which they should) and will work very hard not to mess things up. The other type will typically have the opposite opinion and try to pull that "you can't do any better than me" mess. PLEASE if you listen to nothing else I say, any man who feels that way is good for nothing!
This reason only really works for the younger crowd, but believe it or not, men can really blossom and grow into their good looks after high school. This gives you a little extra incentive to stick it out because you could be in for a big surprise later on in life. And lastly, geeks are more likely to have a good future ahead of them. Typically (but not always) geeks are well known for working extra hard in school, so you'd better believe he has high aspirations in the future job field.
