It was such a ball last time, so let's do it again — hook up Valley geeks who posted on Craigslist. Whether your reasons are more like geek-lover Maryam Scoble's or geek and geek-lover Tara Hunt's, there's no denying these guys (and, ok, maybe one girl) are hot properties.

W4M

  • First one's a winner: "I prefer guys in tech because I've never met a dumb one and love technology, which means I'm cool with computer pieces all over." This 25-year-old wants a guy from 25 to 35.
  • A 31-year-old software engineer throws two dogs into the deal. She just returned from the Netherlands, and she's a wine, cheese, and crying-at-the-movies fan. And she's utterly selling herself short as "slightly cute."

Ladies, M4W is after the jump.

M4W

  • 35-year-old software engineer seeks "discreet" college student for "outdoor sports." Oh. Actually he probably means those literally. Boring.
  • One entrepreneur's headline says it all: "LOOKING FOR LOVE SOUL MATE FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" No, startup founders aren't 13 now — this one's 44. "My startup project is my dream and I am working towards my dream and I know my dream is going to come true soon. My second dream to have loving soulmate and life partner with whom I want to be until end of this lifetime."
  • If this next one's sense of humor doesn't get you hot, don't worry — he just wants something platonic. "I always give things a chance to grow on me, INCLUDING moss, because I'm be a fungi to be with."
  • Today's charity case could really use a friend on Oracle Parkway in Redwood City. In the last week, this gentleman's posted two separate missed connections, three appeals in the section called Casual Encounters. Reward his hard work — he just wants an IM/e-mail flirt partner.

Strangely, on the eve of SF Pride 2006, all the geek posts are straight. Send any good W4W or M4M (or fantastic W4M or M4W) posts by Valley tech workers to tips@valleywag.com.
