Seriously, I'm about 12kg overweight (at my height, that's a fair
chunk) and I'm quite disgustingly unfit myself....

Woah you must have put some on since I last saw you... or exaggerating?

I had seen a photo of LotteBum. All wimins are alike. Think they are
all fat. Bah, I say!

Hey, I'm not fat! I never said I was! I may have commented on a lard

If only. Found a geek girl though, which is ultimately more satisfying. If
there'd been an aus.geeks.dating with cycling overtones, the drought may
have been substantially shorter though.

She commutes by bike, about 17km each way. So she is, in fact, a cycling
geek chick. Who is a bibliophile. (I will never, ever, want for a book to
read ever again)

*looks smug*

I spent over 18 months single before I ran into her though, hence the
whinge. As I said, I'm happy now but there was a point in time when I was
climbing the walls.

I suppose we won't hear from you much anymore...

Or at least the same country?

Where did you meet? (I take it you didn't actually "run into her."😉 I
doubt it was cycling. The only guys I meet are the revheads, at the
traffic lights.

Mutual friend of a friend of a friend chance meeting. I have yet to work
out a social filter that tells me where intelligent women tend to hang out.
If you know of one, I've got a friend in his early 20s (medium level geek,
beginner cyclist) who could use some pointers. I've got no idea what to tell
him.

The problem with intelligent women (and men) is that they don't "hang
out" - they are too busy doing cool stuff.

Probably won't help to tell your friend that.

Depends what you mean by 'intelligent'? Are we talking normal women, able to hold a reasonable conversation or are we talking rocket scientists? I know for a fact that most of my girlfriends are too busy having fun to really think about 'hanging out' if you know what I mean. I think it's a bit harsh for anyone to say that they want someone 'intelligent' as in 'smart' or 'educated' etc. I know plenty of nice, sensible secretaries, hairdressers, teachers etc.

I know it sounds like such a cliche, but I would tell him to just have fun - that someone will come along when he least expects it.

That's more or less the conclusion I came to. Medium level is easily upper
quartile intelligence, slight star wars and anime fixations and other
assorted nerdery, but doesn't code and good social skills. No seriously
aspergersesque traits.
