The Geeks' Guide to Girls

A geek wrote a dating guide, and asked the universe for help. Five days later he got his answer.In September 2005, a 34-year-old engineer in Sydney sat down and wrote twenty-two theories, several Boolean functions, a Karnaugh map, and one Swedish compound noun that would be unprintable in a family newspaper. On the 1st of October he settled on a title. On the 6th of October, the system was tested in the field.G3 is nine pairs of chapters - each theory chapter written in 2005, preserved as legacy code, paired with a practice chapter written twenty years later. The gap between those two voices is where the book lives.Not quite self-help. Not quite memoir. Not quite comedy. All three, in a bathrobe, holding a martini.The system covers: - Who is fair game (and the precise mathematics of degrees of separation)- How to guess her age without insulting her- Why dinner is a terrible first date- The two-word rule - and why geeks always break it- The Girlfriend function: when exactly is "it" on?- Who to tell, in what order, and why you never tell the exes anythingThe theories are real. The stories are true. The system worked.Dr Tim O'Neill is an engineer, overthinker, and hopeful romantic. He has a PhD and now lives on the Mornington Peninsula, a long way away from Sydney."Nothing in life is simple... except true love." - Theory 1, page thirteen.
