jizzmodo.

That guy really dodged the bullet with this one. I'd choose a “nerdy” guy any day of the week. They know how to use their light sabers and are good with young padawons.

Ok she is very rude.

1) She seriously said no to this guy because he's a world champion player of a card game? We all have that one dorky thing we're obsessed with. And it's not like he loves kicking puppies for fun; He plays a card game as a hobby! That's no reason to bash someone. 2) Writing an article and disclosing the subject's name and other highly specific details is messed up. Besides it being morally crappy, it eliminates whatever journalistic integrity she had. I'd fire her.

whatever to her , nerds are hot , and hes not bad looking , chicks for sure missing out

…

I know I'm late to the game, but M:TG is great fun. So WTF.

She calls this non story a “cautionary tale”. What exactly is “cautionary” about going on a date and deciding not to pursue a relationship? I'd reserve that phrase for a date that ended in a near assault or something. Fuck Gizmodo for running her shit article. I've already removed all of the Gawker sites from my RSS and I'm writing Gizmodo to tell them why.

I think I know the perfect guy for this scumbag: http://inthewarbetween.blogspot.com/2011/03/peter-coffin-you-sad-sorry-sonofabitch.html

Did she disclose in her OKCupid profile that she was going to write about the date for Gizmodo?

Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Since I've never played magic the gathering, I would hope his other nerd interests align with mine ie. Star Trek (TNG,DS9), anime/manga, and british tv shows.

And they wonder why we don't listen to them.

Reminds me of the article a while back about the one night stand with Quentin Tarantino

He has his own wikipedia entry. She doesn't. I remember when I realized my boyfriend had his own wikipedia I was stoked. Maybe I am too nerdy for this conversation, but she doesn't know what she is doing or who she was writing for. What a bitch.

I'm sorry to say this, however she isn't god's gift herself on top of being a grade A bitchbucket. I've seen better faces on broken clocks.

What a bitch! She wrote all the details on a major site and didn't even bother to protect his privacy by giving him an alias. What a “journalist”! Plus, what the hell does Gizmodo has to do with her bad date? Seems more like Jezebel material.  Ugh, I stopped reading Gawker a long time ago because their writers are just insufferable and do not have any journalistic integrity whatsoever. They write a lot of misinformation and don't even bother to retract it when truth comes out.

Dear Alyssa, this is why you are single.

I never got Magic, but this guy sounds awesome. I'd totally go out with him. Wouldn't kick him out of bed, either.
