I have just learned the most awe­some tech­nique for geeks to attract women, and it’s too late for me to use it. Why, you ask? Hap­pily mar­ried, that’s why. But the rest of you need this advice.

I was read­ing Make:Blog and they posted a link to a forum post explain­ing how to make a laptop bag from an 80’s boom box. Now this is already cool. I mean, a wicked bag like that is its own reward. But take a look at that link car­fully: Craft​ster.org. He posted his geeky bag tuto­r­ial on a forum pop­u­lated almost entirely by women. Women who fetishize hand-​made objects. Women who like bags (yeah, I know that’s redun­dant). Women who began pro­fess­ing their love for him on the first page of responses.

So here’s my advice: sub­scribe to Make and start making crafts. The ladies will love you.
