I think I found a husband.

You all recall, no doubt, my love of nerdy men: intelligent, witty, funny, sarcastic. Love 'em. I have a date tomorrow night with a new guy. Today we IM'ed over Match and had a lovely conversation. At one point, he made me laugh so hard with the nerdiest joke ever, I just had to share.

Some background: On my profile, under "last read," I have that I am currently reading a book about "sex from the evolutionary perspective," which I am. I then write: "Such insight! Ask me about your testicles." I like this. I think it's flirty but too funny and weird to be straight-up sexual; slightly nerdy; and a good conversation-starter (for the right guys). Indeed, many men have used this as an opener in their emails. So. (For those of you dying to know, there is apparently a direct correlation-- in any species-- between the size of the males' testicles and the level of sex competition (finding a mate). Yup. Now you know.)

So during today's IM session, NewGuy writes: "actually, I'd like to ask you what you know about my testicles . . . because there's a Vas deferens between reading about them and KNOWING about them."

Vas deferens!! oh my god. I have to marry him.

Who's nerdier? Him for saying that or me for thinking that that pun makes marriage material? Maybe we're just perfect for each other . . .

Lesson of the day: I can't believe I enjoyed that joke so much I blogged about it. I am a DORK.
