Geeks are sexy.

[Nazulu]

Its the whole "Air of Intelligence" thing. Some people are attracted by looks and muscles, others by personality and brainpower. It also may be the glasses. I myself find the smart girls more attractive than the "beautiful" girls.

Give me an average looking smart girl with glasses instead of luscious boobalicious blond!

By 'beautiful girls' do you mean the bleached blondes with an even tan who show of their body parts with small or revealing clothes?

All the smart girls I know are beautiful, they just don't do what most of these bimbo's do.

It will be faster to show than to explain:

Spoiler: Average Looking and Geeky

Spoiler: So Called Beautiful, Above Average, Physically Attractive

Ah yes, very good show.

All the geeky girls in my school are very physically attractive, it was the chubby goth girls that put me off. However thats not always the case, sometimes it's the other way around.

Ungeeky people usually are really high maintnence so im on the fence.

Everybody:

No, you don't.

You find physically attractive people attractive. You find clear skin of whatever color you prefer attractive. You find symmetry attractive. Whether you like DDs or AAs they have to be the same size. Yes, they do. You find a certain body type most attractive, and other body types less attractive. I have yet to find a work of fiction depicting a "sexy geek" that doesn't depict a sexy person independent of geek status.

Look at the girl somebody posted on page 1: She's stunning. What's her profession? Model. Is she smart? Do you know whether she is or not because she's wearing glasses in that picture? Of course not. But you do know whether or not you find her attractive. See what I mean?

Hollywood has decided that it can put a stunning young woman who is a 9 or 10 in unflattering clothing, glasses, and a messy up-do, and give her geek appeal, but they always give her a makeover by the end of the second act.

Your real "geek" stereotypical gamer girl or guy who stays up all night gaming and eating crap food, never gets out in the sun or to the gym, speaks in weird jargon particular to her gaming/anime/academic obsession doesn't have any plans on Saturday night except ones pertaining to said obsession, I guarantee.

I find it attractive when a woman has obviously already won the genetic lottery and topped it off with a robust interest in her own body and society. I have my doubts about people who claim otherwise.

Yeah, but no. You're wrong. Physical looks are certainly very important, as are smells and sounds. It's all genetics. But there's also an entire social role, that can be even more important. For instance, women usually have crushes on strong physiques, but settle with strong minds. Why? Because in a social arena, the strong mind is the Alpha Male. Women choose partners based on social reasons, not physical appearance. Not to say that physique is not very important. But social role comes first.

Add to that then, that we all have our kinks and preferences. I am much more endeared and turned on by "averag" lookin women, than I am by super models. Don't tell me I'm wrong. I just so happens to know what images and ideals I erect react to.

Thank you for proving my point. You used a physical description to tell me what kind of girl you're attracted to. Had you said you were attracted to girls who understand C++ I'd've been sunk.

I'm not going to tell you you're wrong because we're not in dispute. I didn't exactly throw my hat over the wall in asserting a particular shape as most attractive up there did I? I wasn't saying that everybody is attracted to the same things, just that initial attractiveness is usually on the physical plane. With someone you don't know in person but only see on the internet or in other entertainment media that attraction exists entirely on the physical plane.

I think it was comedian Pablo Francisco who once said, "Nobody ever says, 'Ooh, there's an ugly person! Let's meet her!'" In other words you're not even going to get close enough to the girl you don't find physically attractive to bother finding out what's on the inside. I know our culture condemns that, but it's still true.

Look at the straw man people keep throwing up on this thread even. "I'm not attracted to the orange, plastic-breasted, peroxide blonde..." Yeah? Good. Nobody is. Those aren't attractive women to the average man at all. They're a caricature of attractiveness.

I still stand by my basic guidelines: We're all attracted to health and symmetry. We're programmed for it because those things indicate good genes and the ability to bear healthy children to term. After we've narrowed the field according to whatever our personal standards for those criteria are we can start looking at shared interests and whatnot.

Oh, and everybody be prepared to see me live up to my name. Apparently I was reported to a mod or however this sort of thing works for not agreeing with the OP. Do you feel "flamed," Longshot?

 

[Queen Michael]

Girl geeks? Yes. Yes. Yesyesyesyes. For the love of Jebus YES.

Oh, then we are in agreement. I read it as you meant that the supposed "physical ideals" are what we'd all go for.

And why would I feel flamed? I disagree with you, doesn't mean you're necesarrily wrong. Wasn't me that reported you.

 

[Amnestic]

... What have I done?

Aha.. Don't worry.. I'll be cool.

You better be. She's my friend, and I won't hesitate to turn you into a steaming pile of organs and piss if you upset her.

/end overprotection.

Why would you steam piss? That sounds...icky.

I wasn't thinking you did. Maybe nobody did and a mod read it directly and took exception. I just got a forum warning about flaming from my first post in the thread (the one you quoted), and was wondering if I came off that way. I'd like to think I attack ideas, not people.

I wish everybody on this thread were telling the truth. It would be great. I really believe I have passed over some awesome people in life because they aren't attractive to me, and I'm sure I suffer (a little) for it. Of course, there are also 6 billion of us wandering around, so there are probably enough smart, interesting, AND beautiful people out there.

 

[Jedoro]

I call shenanigans. No way OP is real.

Call the shenanigans!!! >=(

I dunno, I believe she's real. I could always go find out XD

Anywho, I wouldn't say every geek girl is sexy, but glasses most of the time are a plus. If she's attractive, and THEN I find out she's geeky, it gets her kudos, but just being a geek isn't hot, since those closer to geek tend to be overweight, ya know?

 

[Aerodynamic]

I find smart people sexy, doesn't matter if they are geeky or not.

 

[Samcanuck]

I love geek women. They are down to earth, and hot...and many wear glasses. It is all good.

I love semi-shy geek women.

 

[Cinnonym]

If a girl is into video games, D&D and anime then they get mega bonus points in my eyes.

Tchyeah, I've heard that one before. You know that friend zone you guys are always complaining about? That's what happens to geek girls in this town.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Oh for sure.

If a girl is into video games, D&D and anime then they get mega bonus points in my eyes.

Its not just that, I have found that geeky girls look more appealing.

Where are you geeky girls of Brisbane haha

Try the new Mana Bar
I'm quite interested in the concept, ever since reading about it on a thread right here at the escapist. I'll make sure to drop in myself for a look.

[Ham_authority95]

We sure are awesome..

Who woulden't admire this guy!? /Sarcasm

No but in all seriousness, It's got to be the glasses.

He reminds me of my uncle for some reason.....

OT: Music geeks in particular are drop-dead sexy to me

Same here, I'd rather a person with good personality and some brains then the hottest body (not to say looks dont play atleast some part)

 

[The Warden]

Giggity, giggity, giggity goo.

 

[Ghonzor]

Eh, I'm a dork and all kinds of other synonyms (hence them being synonyms...) and my girlfriend likes me just fine. It's all I need.

 

[Eggsnham]

It's the knee buckling device I made last week out of my geek fueled building shit frenzy. This answers your questions and immediately makes you want to go out with me.

/thread

But seriously now, it may be something more psychological, you may like the smarts and somewhere in your subconscious you have a mental image of what a "geek" might look like, so if you see someone who fits your profile of a "geek" you may immediately connect "geek" to intelligence. Or maybe I'm just way over-thinking it.
