I've also found my luck with women to be sub-par...  Sure they are very interested in me until Mr. I work at kinkos and have a nice car that my parents paid for walks up. Of course lately I've realized I'm after the wrong type of woman (hint: they suck down liquor like water and get passed around like a pogo-stick).
At any rate I hear where you're coming from and know I need a change in environment. But I must disagree with you on geeks living the high life. Most geeks I know drive compact Japanese cars and still live with their parents.

Hmmm then it depends what kind of a geek you are...there are the ones that are knowledgeable, the ones that just act geeky cause they are weird, the ones that become geeks cause no one else will take them as friends... I dunno. I guess also, if they choose to continue living the live at home, eat chips and program lifestyle, they would end up like that.
