Paging Dr. NerdLove Episode #09: Faux Geek Girls, Posers and Booth Babes

October 9, 2012 by Dr. NerdLove 23 Comments

Everybody seems to be on the look out for “fake” geek girls and attention whores… but why? Are there that many posers in geek circles? Why do geeks have this paradoxical fetish for and fear of geek girls?

This week, Dr. NerdLove talks with Rock, Paper, Shotgun’s Cara Ellison about geek girls, the need for booth hunks and what nerds and geeks can do to make fandom a more welcoming place for women… without making them feel like potential dates or eye-candy.
