Proof that natural selection has its way of helping out even when it comes to love.
Nerds in general are genetically programmed to be genius at some things while not so good at others.
Let’s take flirting as an example: such an arbitrarily random and irrational social behavior – based solely on an instinctive interpretation of body language – is likely to send the geekier amongst us into a mental state somewhat akin to a panic attack or the classic “deer in headlights” syndrome.
