I don't know if I agree 100% with the second part of your comment. A CS degree is by no means a requirement, but in general (geek or not) I'd like to be able to share what excites me with a girlfriend. That said, I don't expect a girl to study Star Trek or anything (and, btw, was this article written 15 years ago? I don't think I know anyone who watches Star Trek.) just in order to get references to it. This is really a pretty stupid article that seems to have been written by someone whose greatest exposure to geeks is watching The Big Bang Theory.
