A poll conducted by an adultery site, Victoria Milan, showed that women don't find geeks attractive at all.

The website had asked 7,685 men and women that who they would prefer to have an illegal affair with amongst the 'tech tycoons', CNet reported.

Thought Victoria Milan declared the results, it was found the respondents didn't really find geeks attractive, while 59 percent seemed to recoil at the concept.

When pushed to come to a conclusion, at least 56 percent of the female members thought Mashable CEO Pete Cashmore was the peak of being 'sexy', followed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who got 25 percent votes.

Meanwhile, the male respondents were divided between Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, who got 38 percent and 31 percent votes respectively.

The website claimed that their findings proved that "stereotypes about the socially-awkward 'tech guy' or 'geeky gal' were still very prevalent.
