Psycho killers and geek chic
My TV/film/literary crushes are frequently psychopaths. It started when I was about 13, with Tom Ripley, at the moment it's Dexter, and in between I actually watched every episode of that godawful crap Heroes purely cause I had a thing for Sylar. In the absence of charming serial killers, I'll make do with high-functioning sociopath detectives.

I would like to underline here that it is ONLY FICTIONAL psychopaths and serial killers that I like. NEVER EVER real life ones. Did I make that clear enough?

In real life it's geeky types. Love a guy or girl in a labcoat and safety goggles. Should be defiantly unglamorous, boxy glasses, slightly bad hair, total lack of interest in polite small talk, perhaps a soupcon of Aspergers. The real deal, not pretend-geek, like fit actors putting on a pair of glasses... actually, fit actors wearing glasses is pretty good too.

This is brilliant trolling...

How so trolling?

Oh so you are a lass?
Sorry I work on the basic assumption all people on the internet are 45 year old truckers called Dave.

Should I invest in a labcoat then?

That would depend on whether there are others like me out there... (speak up now?) I'm done with sharing the love around the labs, and have settled on one cute bespectacled techie to be Mr Sax.

Dear me yes
I cannot resist a geeky guy. Intelligence is *such* a turn on! And totally get what you mean about the glasses...

Perhaps I should add?
Poor personal hygiene and sexist attitudes are massive turnoffs, so unfortunately many otherwise-desirable geekytype gentlemen have ruled themselves out of any potential sexytimes.

You must love Monk!
Intelligent, sociopathic (well, more sociophobic), and scrupulous personal hygiene.

Too much OCD. Sorry. And I didn't like the way the programme presented the condition(s).

I should add that the trolling comes from the fact that with the description "geeky, wearing glasses and with bad hair" you've described quite a large percentage of this board, the assumption being that you've done so in order to mock said desperate geeks with the possibility that not everyone hates them.

Still, where there's life there's hope.

Yes, I totally realised that after posting. I'm not even a forum lurker - I usually just read the newsletter - but I saw this question and thought that my feelings on the subject might amuse some readers and reassure others.

Actually, a couple of years ago someone did a HotOrNot contest on here. The vast majority of the posters turned out to be quite fit.

Benedict Cumberbatch?
As Holmes, obviously.

Would. But only if he stayed in character the entire time.
(Bad Sax, Sun 9 Oct 2011, 12:02, closed)

One slight problem.
The character is gay.

I rather thought he was A rather than gay. Not that that would be too helpful either.
