Beauty and the Geek

Most people live thier lives with blinders on - focusing on and inter-relating with people of their own kind, while shunning a whole other segment of society whose pursuits, norms, habits and mannerisms they are not familiar with

Take beauties and geeks for instance. The geek is more intellectual. His pursuits are more academic and he couldn't care less about how he looks. Ambitious in his own way, the geek pursues his passions single mindedly. He could be a oceanographer, a Dotard Gamer, a software analyst or simply a Star War fan. He could, and often is, a genius of sorts in his own chosen field.

The problem he faces? Socially, he may almost be a zero, particularly in the grooming department. As for his deportment - the way he carries himself - the geek's awkwardness is a given trait. Because of this, having and sustaining a relationship with a person of the opposite sex is a major issue for him

Looks are an asset.
As for the beauty (mostly female), she lives her life, centred in how she must and ought to look everyday. Her physical attributes carry her through situation where her intellectual ones fail her. Her looks are her major asset in life - so she cares for them, attends to them and depends on them. Socially, she is fashion-savvy, body-conscious and fully aware of her physical attributes. In the intellectual and academic department, she doesn't care two hoots if she can't spell the word dinosaur or doesn't know which part of a computer does what. (Agreed!! girls normally don't give a shit which component does what function. Proof? How many girls know how to format their own computer?)

Put a beauty and a geek together in real life and what do you get? Definitely not instant chemistry! In fact, being such polar opposites - they just don't click. But what if they were thrown together and forced to acknowledge, live and work with one another, would something come out of it? Would the act of putting them in the same team do the trick? Despite their differences, would they learn something from each other?

The truth is this, until and unless you are forced to work and live with someone who is diametrically opposite to you, you will never know how much lies under the surface of that person and the image that he or she projects to the whole world. A geek, for instance, has more things going for him than just his intellectual abilities and a beauty can be more than just a good-looker. She could truly be a heart-warming, sensitive and generous person, with some intelligent abilities to match. (I like this part) ~~taken from article from the Sunday Star 14/06/2009~~ I've some friends that are of geeks and beauties, so i felt like sharing this to you guys.

In any way there always exist two side of the same story, listen to both side of the story before you made a judgement!! or else the innocent person will die very cham geh
