A-type is someone who likes to run things, dominate, expound, pontificate, take charge and so on...

Ah, the GA!

I've also done some Googling and found this definition of geek

a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with
one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc."

and nerd

a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate
rather than engaging in more social or popular activities.

So, from my hasty perusal of the literature, it would appear that the nerds and geeks are hanging around the Internet discussion boards and
railway platforms while the Alpha males are getting all the nookie. Still can't see the connection between Alpha males and TarBoard.
