Megan Fox wants to date a geek. The 'Jennifer's Body' actress, who is in an on/off relationship with actor Brian Austin Green, says comic book fans make great boyfriends because they are well-mannered.

She said: "I have been to comic book conventions a few times and even though there are a lot of guys here, they are always very polite and very kind."

Megan claims she is keen to romance a sci-fan fan because they would have a lot in common. She explained: "Maybe it's because I'm a geek too but the kind of guys you meet at those conventions are very nice and very appreciative of what you do."

Megan's 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' co-star Simon Pegg previously reinforced the actress' claims she is a nerd. He said: "We wrapped early one day and went to a bar. Megan and I sat in the corner, got really p***ed and had a good chat.

"She's really sharp and actually a bit of a geek. Queen of the geeks - the most beautiful geek I've ever met. "Even if she did keep pointing out I was old enough to be her father."
