I do suppose that is true. I am a convert. However, in high school and before I was also pretty jocky and still nerdy. I was on the football team and everything.

I think many people who do not play WoW would be surprised to see most people who do. I mean, you do realize something like 10 million people play this game right? Plenty of people just keep their WoW lives separate from everything else. I met a guy at the midnight gamestop release of the expansion who was like 50 and he had called off work the next day. Very few of the people who showed up were sweaty, greasy, nerdy kids. It's a stereotype, just like saying potheads are stupid dirty kids.
More than 1 in 30 people in America play WoW. It is a shocking statistic.
Ok maybe it's not true even the majority of the time, it doesn't change what people think of WoW players.
Shockingly innacurate maybe. Although whatever the actual statistic would shock me I'm sure.
The trick about games is that if you are good at them you can't brag and if you play them all day you can't talk about them because video games are nerdy when they take over your life.
Oh, I assumed most subscribers were American, but it turns out most of them are asian. The actual number is more like 1 in 100
research ftw
Us Westerners tend to forget that virtually everyone who has anything to do with video games is Asian.
I'm not really nerdy in any way at all. I'm a fan of Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn who are very nerdy themselves but I don't think you could call their stand up nerdy. I'm not into video games at all. If I can find a working PSone memory card any time soon then I'll probably bust out the FF7 or FF8 for old times sake but my friends were always much more into that stuff than me.
I don't find nerdiness appealing either. All of my friends 'cept a couple are probably nerdy in some way but we're friends in spite of this, not because of it. I definitely don't find nerdy chicks hot. I hate boring average girls and only really go for quirky girls but nerdy is where I draw the line. If I went to a chick's place and there's comics and pokemon toys and sailor moon DVDs on the floor then I would leave.
Ok, I'd fuck her first, but then I'd leave.
Sailor moon dvds = I'm out also.
Oh Jesus, one time after a night out I stayed at a friend's place (female) with a mutual friend (also female) and I just crashed out and fell asleep but they kept disturbing me by staying up for hours watching Sailor Moon videos and Jeff Dunham clips. I felt really sorry for any of the poor dicks who have to fuck those two.
You're.
And it's not pretentious if you can back it up.
That really doesn't cross over into my definitions, but that really doesn't matter at all, because nobody's yet come up with any distinctions between nerdy and geeky that enough people agree on.
My distinction basically relies on social competence and personality; nerds like those traditional things that they like (from comics to programming) but are cool, well-adjusted, interesting people, whereas geeks are socially awkward and absorbed into whatever world that takes their geekish/nerdish fancy.
Being nerdy is something it's okay to be proud of, or happy with. Being geeky, not so much.
Yes, because djwolford is clearly the bottom line on what is good music :rolleyes:
I can't think of anything you've said off the top of my head, but I remember your history with shitty taste. I like nerdy music, because nerd music is awesome (BNL, Flight of the Conchords, TMBG). I also listen to other good music, as I have stated before. My taste is beyond criticism, because it is right. Self-absorbtion ftw.
I live in california. Everyone smokes too much weed to make fun of me for being nerdy.
i think they smoke to much to care
RATZ Another anime series I havent seen, heard, or knewn about Tell me Shakes Poke like mad Is it good? WHERE CAN I FIND IT HERE IN TEXAS
what the fuck is wrong with you queers
I'd argue there's a strong component of sexual abuse, possibly parental neglect, and a general distaste for reality that forces us to digress into a fantasy world.
or it's a spam bot

so i just read the banter about relativity on the first page of this thread.
the errors in the discussion made my brain hurt.
Geek is the new cool apparently
yeah, and it pisses me off.
i was a geek long before it was cool, and now all these normal people are trying to apply the geek label to themselves.
"yeah, i'm a bit of a geek: i read a newspaper article once."
or
"i am such a geek that i listen to music in the car LULZ"
NO, YOU'RE NOT
My fiance says that my geekiness is one of the things that made her want to keep me, and I'm pretty ugly. Add a point in favor of geekiness being endearing.
Mr. E, are you or are you not, cooler then the other side of the pillow?
Wrong. This guy is!

Jerome was cool tho
my ideal guy would be nerdy shy toned cute and passionate/cuddly in bed
i found my nerdy knight but he doesn't want to date anyone for the time being, and it is probably for the best anyway.
You are a dumb girl. Whenever someone says they don't want to date anyone right now, what they really mean is "I don't want to date you, ever."
oh yeah i would believe it, but my wishful thinking won't allow me to.
like i said it's probably for the best
Sycld WTF? Here we were, having a perfectly innocent, slightly racist conversation and BAM! You pull out your personal Fabio tastes out of your ass?
WTF?
