Back in their undergraduate days at Georgia, two friends who partook in the Greek system went on a date night for her sorority and his fraternity in November 2009. The theme: famous couples. They got creative, borrowing from popular Mac commercials at the time that sought to differentiate cool vibes from those of boring, old PCs. She went with the Mac computer.
Her date already struck everyone as analytical, this finance major who crunched numbers for fun, who legitimately adored equations. He intentionally donned dorky glasses and an even dorkier plaid tie, which together formed a playful nod to his general nerdiness. This showcased his dry sense of humor; he was, in fact, hilarious, not to mention self-deprecating, authentic and brilliant. So brilliant, he never needed to stand on chairs and announce the depth of his intellect. He wore it subtly, which made him and it more effective.
