Pick The Girl Or The Gadget

This is NOT going to work, PICK THE GADGET EVERYTIME!

It's simple math, Date with a girl that is probably being paid to be there, you will certainly not end up with a Geisha (think real that will give you great non sexual company and make you feel good, not prostitute) and it will last a few hours,

Gadget, if its expensive enough, or you want it enough it will last a lot longer than that date and might be wroth more too.
 
"The gear will range from a 60-inch plasma TV to an arcade game machine, but the guy won't know what his prize is until he opts for either the gadget or the girl."

I don't even own a TV, North American TV is garbage and if I was guarenteed to win the arcade machine ( and it was a game that I like or I could swap out the PCB ) then I'd go for that but all those unknowns make it easy to pick the girl.

If the girl was obnoxious, I'd pick the gadget since the trade would be a piece of crap for a potential piece of crap.
 
I'd pick the gadget, it doesn't even matter what it is. Women are overrated, all they do is moan and complain. At least with the gadget I can have hours/days/years of enjoyment... a woman might give me the other kinda gift that I can never get rid of.

Secondly, dates like these hardly materializes, so I'll pass for sure.
 
I like how a great percent of you assume that the prize is always going to be a 60" TV, when in actuality you do not know what you are going to get untill you pick the "gadget".
 
Only reason to pick the date is the hopes of getting laid and chances are because you made the choice on a TV show, you'll part ways as soon as the cameras are off. Pick the gadet, least you'll get some kind of action out of it.
 
I'd pick the tv. If it was guaranteed sex then it would have been different. But a date is worthless.

Same exact thing I thought...

The only things guaranteed here are getting a date (and hemorrhaging a ton of money on a hot chick), or saving/earning money with the hardware.

I'd even take a toaster. Dates cost money and in these cases will only be a waste of time (ie, no fun afterwards).
 
lmao...this thread is great.

From the looks of things, there is not one female on this board! :D (otherwise, she would have called us all a bunch of pigs already, right ?) :D
 
:rolleyes: Get to spend the weekend with a potential Playmate, who might just be infected with God-knows-what and will promptly leave your sorry ass after her contract is fulfilled, OR get a new toy to share with friends or eBay for sweet profit to spend on a woman worth dating; this doesn't sound difficult to me at all. Now if the potential "gadget" was say, a new paper-plate dispenser, THEN I just might consider the crab-infested floozy. LOL, in all seriousness though they were right when they called this show a disaster... so sad.

Lol, bunch of nerds.

It's simple, if I actually liked any of the 3 girls they set me up with, and I see some potential in her, then hands down I'd take the weekend getaway. If none of them appealed to me then I'd take the gadget. Win, win.

Just shows how much we've become consumerist sheeple, where our material possessions are placed against our relationships with people.
 
... where our material possessions are placed against our relationships with people.

And that's just the thing: some assume there's a relationship to be had here (at least one with substance). Picking the girl in this instance would be just as "consumerist" and shallow as picking the gadget IMO. What creators of this show are essentially doing is what most reality shows do: they are bringing something that should have substance and meaning, such as a relationship to the lowest-common-denominator, all for sake of entertainment. So in this case gadget or girl are essentially the same thing, the only difference is what it gets the players in the end.

Who's to say there isn't? You're making a lot of assumptions about the women they will pick, and the men they will pick as well.

There's a stereotypical assumption going on around here that all beautiful women are shallow and vapid, and not worth a relationship. I guess that doesn't make all the nerds who are picking gadgets any better, and it's only reinforcing the stereotype against them
 
Yeah, I'd get the free 60" TV. Cuz run down the the liquor store pick up a bottle of Captain Mo' and go to SDSU to get some ladies if I needed.

QFT.
 
I'd go with the gadget since most women I meet are rarely worth my interest. Attractiveness is great but I doubt I'll find something amazing (like personality) about a woman on a first date unless its a heavenly match. The gadget will last me a few years & maybe during that time I'd meet the woman I'd want to spend my time with anyways. Wisdom wins out on this one.

technology > meaningless date
 
You are guys are fooling yourselves.

Any geek willing to go on a show to get free gear is going to go into it with the exact same attitude as everyone that's picking "gadget" has.

Although, when that geek is confronted with three knockout potential playmates and all three are in a competition for not only the guy but a prize, that geek is going to wet himself trying to pick one of those girls.

You know this. Its not even a debate. As soon as one of the girls places her hand somewhere provocative, or flashes him the "eff me" eyes, or heaven forbid the deal closer, shows him some mam, IT...IS...OVER.

Its easy for everyone to sit here and say they would pick the gadget on an ENTHUSIAST forum but when a date starved geek with questionable social skills is confronted with three bunnies with bursting cleavage the producers will be stock piling a warehouse of gadgets.

Bet on it.
Believe it.

In addition, I have to say, there are some bitter ass dudes in here.
Get some therapy, cry, and find some closure but lay off the "all chicks are whores" theme. It's tired.

I don't see anyone bitter. I see smart people who realizes that these girls which are being presented are there for the money, not the guys... they also realize that most of these girls are trashy in that they are playmates or pr0n girls... hardly the "marriage type".

If you want to turn the heat up, give the geek a date FIRST and then offer a second date or the gadget.

You are mis-using the term 'relationship', too. You have a 'relationship' with a coworker you meet for beers one night. You have a 'relationship' with a stranger on the street you talk with in passing.

There is nothing about it that assumes a length of time or intimate contact.

You are outright choosing a piece over technology over a weekend getaway (almost certainly of equal monetary value value - so assume rooms + drinks + food + activities are included) with another human being carte blanche.

That's rather sad, actually.

Kinda getting the same vibe. And up there with the "she only has any value if she puts out" direction of some comments...

Downright depressing, really.

Whatever happened to just having fun? Adult interaction isn't ALL about sex and marriage, ya know...

Did you RTFA?

That's what they are doing.

Guy gets 3 girls. Picks 2 to do on a date with. After date, gets to decide if he wants a weekend getaway with one of them or an undefined 'gadget'.
 
Did you RTFA?

It's obvious most of the people here didn't. It's a lot more than just a single date, and it isn't just one girl, you have a choice of 3. It's also funny how many have also assumed it would be "geeks" going on this date.

My point exactly.

Geeze, people are so fast to go off on others here :rolleyes:

I forgot to include the word "sexually intimate"..funny how context can change and others are quick to jump "OMG!@#@!$ YOU DIDN'T RTFA!?!?!" :rolleyes:

Are these girls, supposedly after the money, any different from the guys here in this thread saying they would pick the gadget...to sell? hahaha I don't know if that qualifies for the definition of irony but it sures fits Alanis Morisettes definition of ironic.

To answer my own question...no.

Guys are in it for the money or the sex. Fact.

Girls are in it for the money or the sex or pursuing a career in the biz. Also fact.

Is either group better than the other? Nope...and thats also a fact.

And if you don't see any bitterness from our brethren in this thread, take off the rosy glasses, and the blinders, and step out of the forest, so you can see the trees brother.

Cause there are dudes in here bitter about a break up somewhere in their past. Not saying its not warranted but we don't need to label ALL women as money grubbing, two timing, naggy whores.

If you assumed that everyone in this forum would take an item to only sell rather than to enjoy it.

Guys are in it for the money or the sex. Fact.

Or the prize (aka gadget).. or perhaps one could be said for 15 mins of fame.

Is either group better than the other? Nope...and thats also a fact.

The guys aren't on the show to sell their body, they are there to win loot. If they were on the show to score or sell the loot, I guess you could argue that very well.

And if you don't see any bitterness from our brethren in this thread, take off the rosy glasses, and the blinders, and step out of the forest, so you can see the trees brother.

In general I think it's just people realizing that it's a sham, not as much as a factual thing. People are bitter about a lot of things, but I think a lot of those things comes with reason. I don't think people would have this reasoning if it wasn't for the fact that these are paid girls.

No comment. :D Lets just say I have yet to meet one who isn't naggy.

In a different way, granted, but it makes it worse, actually.

The only use you have for a woman's company is sex?

Again, different from my original complaint, but...also sad.
 
What kind of hopeless loser would go on a date with some girl you will never talk to again and who was paid to be there? Unless rape is part of the deal then the guys wont be getting any sex.

Date with a girl who is just pretending to like you or a $3000 TV? Hmm thats a tough one!
 
The remote possibility of losing one's virginity or some new gadget to watch porn with....

either way, you know they will lose the respect of their computer.
 
Gimme the TV, I can't get it pregnant and it's not gonna give me STDs :p

In all fairness, the bitches on the show are gonna be deceiving because they wanna win the prize + the trip. We all know that chicks' personalities change from that first date/hook up, so imagine how different it is on a game show.
 
Not only that, but you have to find a hot girl geek who doesn't have intolerable emotional problems that make a relationship impossible :( I got burned on that one.

join the club, i'm the president, we have t-shirts and support groups.

seriously...100 percent with ya there, what is it with the showstopping issues with otherwise awesome geek chicks
