Looking for your perfect Geeky match?
Having trouble with the dating process?
Want to hear a bunch of geek news, game reviews, and things that distract you from the fact that we don't know what we're doing when it comes to dating?
Our mission: Helping geeks find love with other geeks.
Mating Habits of the Modern Geek: Advice on Love and Dating within Your Own Species is a biweekly podcast/blog dedicated to advising “Geeks” on effective ways to gain dating experience by being brave and knowing their audience. Each show focuses on a particular topic, and includes rotating co-hosts. We answer listener email, respond to comments, and endeavor to add positive content to the “Geek-iverse.” We speak at convention panels, run dating events, and discuss things important to nerd culture.

Ep. 150 - Impressing Potential Dates: Put Your Sign on the Apps!
Times change and the advice that your grandparents gave your parents about finding love probably doesn't apply today. Also, we saw Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and make some incorrect predictions about The Mandalorian.

Ep. 148 - Dating App Fatigue: Match Monotony
We couldn't let January pass us by without a new episode. We've been off having holidays, COVID, and settling into new jobs but now we're back talking about...
Vox Machina, The Last of Us, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Glass Onion, and a new dating app that is supposed to help counteract the boredom of traditional dating apps.

Customer Reviews
Muhthridge Kaniv Gets Nostalgic
This podcast remains near and dear to my heart. Not only is the premise amazing and fun, but the time I spent collaborating and featuring in a few of the archived episodes on this feed has permanent residence in my good memories. This podcast helped me break out of my introverted seclusion by helping me share in experiences and provided quality introspection in my interactions with everyone I encounter on a daily basis - not just on the grounds of potential romantic relationships, but even the one-time-only daily encounters. Thanks to this podcast and my involvement in it, I have been able to expand from where I was (a guy who merely interacted through the screen) to where I am now (a guy who not only goes out to work and personal functions, but has also put together and hosted a few over the past couple of years). Congratulations to Kelley on her recent love and life upgrades! Happiness is all that you have truly deserved. And to the rest of the MHMG crew: be well, be safe, and I hope you are all keeping it as geeky as humanly possible. Love you guys. M3JCNV
Back from the dead?
It’s August 2018, how did I not here about this sooner??? It’s nice to have Kelly and the gang to listen to again, and maybe we can game some more in the future. Thanks for continuing to do what you do!
5 Stars
2016 was a crappy year for me, but Mating Habits of The Modern Geek podcast made it feel like 1999.
