Dating Lesson #1: Don’t Be a Creep

John Scalzi, who’s one of the leaders of geekdom as the president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, wrote a great introductory guide for geeks and fedora-wearers on how not to be a creep. Even if you’re the most charming, socially-savvy, scintillatingly conversant accordion player out there, it’s a worthwhile read.

Scalzi admits that his guide is incomplete. Let me add one more pointer to his guide: If you must have a full-size anime girl body pillow, please, please please leave it at home. Don’t be like the guys in the photos below (I’ve blocked out their faces, because I want to be kind).

The older gentleman on the left may not be creeped out, but he’s certainly unimpressed.

“Yes…these pillows will show those girls how sensitive and attentive to their needs we can be.”

What better way to soften a parachute landing than an anime girl pillow bound to your crotch?

    I did know someone who would get pissed when a girl wouldn't like him, because hey, he was a nice guy, so wtf is her problem. Still single I think (because everyone else has a problem, IIRC).

  • WHO CARES! After all, those shoujo pillows are much better than actual bitches. They don't wine or complain. As long as these guys are happy. \m/
