Male Nerd Chicks?

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Men: Are you a nerd? Are you considered attractive? Do you believe in the idea of male nerd chicks?
Women: Do you find any nerds/gamers attractive?

No idea if you can call me a nerd or not. I can geek out a bit about video games or anime when I want to, but usually if someone else brought it up first. I don't really go announcing that I'm interested in games/anime unless someone asks. I guess I can believe in girls liking male nerds? If they're that much into games or whatever, then it's not all that surprising. Not sure how many girls would admit to such a thing though.

I am told by quite a few people that I am attractive (though I don't see it). I'm not sure if they're trying to make me feel better about myself since I'm so quiet or if they actually mean it. A few friends, their friends, my family's friends, and two random girls at the supermarket. The last one probably doesn't count though since they were only 13 or so. Probably thought it would be cool to have a boyfriend.

Women: Do you find any nerds/gamers attractive?

Of course. They're the people most likely to have something in common with me.

Unless you mean a particular nerd I know? In that case, no.

EDIT: Oh, and for some reason, people seem to be stating whether they're attractive or not. So I'll just say I think I'm not bad looking.

There are no attractive nerds.
Any nerd who looks attractive is not actually a nerd, they only have slightly above average intelligence or they're only slightly into computers. They've retained their humanity, so to speak.

So the fact that I find intelligence attractive means that no one who is intelligent can possibly be a nerd since by your definition nerds aren't attractive. Does that make the muscular, can-crushing, sports enthusiasts are nerds since I don't find that attractive?

What are you considering "humanity" here? Do you think someone who is very into computers is less likely to give to charity, help old ladies across the street, or help out at a soup-kitchen? Um...your statement does not compute!

A true nerd will transcend the boundaries of human convention to pursue whatever it is that makes them nerdy, at the price of being 'normal'. They especially won't worry about outward appearance or how the opposite sex views them.

Maybe some people find that sexy though.

I prefer nerds/geeks. I just like intelligent men. Someone that challenges me mentally and can have an intelligent conversation. My current boyfriend (and best friend of 7 years) is currently getting his masters in Network Communications. Most of my ex's were either gamers or PC junkies. I'm able to keep up on the latest technology, etc. Not to mention that I took some PC classes... but whatever.

Oh yeah, my boyfriend is attractive to me.

[sub]Your boyfriend is attractive to me too. [/sub]

Well, there are women who like nerdy men, to put it in another way. Remember, in the modern age, there's a lot of potential in being nerdy. Nerds are the best money-makers - just look at Silicon Valley. So, it may be that the old attraction to physical strength in men will shift with these times in women. Give it two to four hundred years.

Can't wait this long. Sorry.

no only female nerds are sexy, thats my opinion

I'm a nerd but if you saw me you wouldn't really beleive it. I'm really damn strong (for 14), a little on the heavy side, but its NOT like i have multible chins. I like being outdoors and do adrenalin junkie stuff such as, quory jumping, repeling, hiking the Beehive at Acadia Natinal park, sailing, kayaking, fishing, more hiking, boulder running, that kind of stuff.

I'm also really smart, im in my advanced math class, I love Social Studies, science is intriging, I know my way around computers, military knolledge is my specalty, and a few others.

I'm also pretty athletic, I play Soccer and I'm amasing at it, I like basketball, I do race sailing (trust me, it gets tireing), and a few other "underground" sports.

And on top of all that I play games alot, and I keep informed as much as possible. So I know alot about the games I want or have.

Yet no one likes me for some odd reason, it gets really annoying since I treat everyone fairly and respect everyone, yet I have no girlfriend

So I really dont fall into the steriotypical NERD catagory, im a wildcard.

I am very much attracted to nerds. ;D
My ex-fiance is a nerd. The kind that plays Magic: The Gathering and D&D.
One of his friends (who I am highly attracted to) is one of the biggest nerds I know.
When I look for a guy, one thing I look for is being a nerd. I would love to find a guy who is into video games and computers like me.
When my ex played D&D, I loved watching him even if I didn't like playing. I also loved playing video games with him and asking him for help.

Hahaha. Thanks. :]

As a nerd I like other nerds. Some are attractive some are not. Now, is the nerdiness what makes them attractive? Sometimes, though for me not much. I like that they like what I like, but that is never the main factor. I think there is also something attractive about them not knowing much and you teaching them about said things (nerdy things...sometimes).

I dunno. Guess it just depends on the individual.

 

[twistedshadows]

Most of the guys I've ever been attracted to have been nerds... not all, but definitely a majority.

Neither can most of us. Unless, of course, they manage to find the aging gene in a few years, and figure out how to make it capable of actively mutating already-living people into longer-aged or ageless humans, which might take another fifty years on top of that. Sounds like science fiction, I know. But trust me, they're trying.

Of course, that aside, there is the fact that it's something that gradually occurs over time. Culture does, after all, change faster than biology, and it's already been working in that direction for 20 years. In another 20, I'd say a real difference will be apparent.

So males nerds that are hot-arse?

It could happen, i guess.....

It is rude to talk about me when I am not here you know.

Made of win ^

 

[Gyrefalcon]

Maybe some people find that sexy though.

Yes, there is someone for everyone. ^-^

But "normal"? I am seriously doubting there is such a thing anymore. Normal occurs on a bell-curve distribution and doesn't actually have that many right in the middle that would fit the old idea of "normal". I think we are headed towards a society filled with niches whether polka lovers, gamers, artists, furries, or whatever. Everyone will exist in one type of fringe group or another and no one will disparage another group so that their own will not be disparaged. Thus, peace will finally come to society.

And nerds will rule.

 

[Gyrefalcon]

Wait, men can be chicks?



Okay okay fine:

This notion is absolutely ridiculous. In order to be a nerd you must stop interacting with others, showering, and caring what you look like? It's people that think like you who perpetuate these awful stereotypes that cause some people much pain. Because I shower, try to dress nicely, and seek out others for friendship and activities it somehow negates the nerd I've been my whole life?

Nerdiness does not mean you have to become an aloof robot, distanced away from humanity. You can be a perfectly functional member of society. It is easier for any person on the planet to be with others who he or she can relate to, so nerds not uncommonly seek each other out. Society is more understanding of people who are nerds or introverts than ever before. However, as an extroverted nerd, not all nerds are introverts or socially awkward.

And it's good that we aren't all the same.

I'm nerdy and I don't have too much of a problem with girls, my main problem is working out which ones not to sleep with. There's a difference between "knows his way around a computer and can have a conversation about the dynamics of roleplaying within MMORPGs" type of nerdy and "has poor personal hygeine, no charisma and a complete lack of social skills" nerdy. Like many things in life, it's all about striking the right balance.

Yes, this.

The thing about being a nerd nowadays is different then what it was in the past. With so much technology and the worlds reliance on it, knowing your way around these things is no longer given a negative stigma. It's the people who actually believe they are their D&D character and those who have no social standing that I worry about.

 

[Nibsy]

I'm sorry, but I have no bloody idea what you're talking about.
I have a strange attraction to cute chicks with glasses, but that's probably not what you're asking...

Yup, yup.. I think we all have that strange attraction.

Including me. Except my attraction is a full blown "Omg, i'm in love" fetish.
But yeah, my girlfriend is unbelievably cute, and wears such hot glasses.. i'm.. just so lucky.. i'd like to rub your face in it more later.

Sir, you are the bane of my existence.

 

[funksobeefy]

wait... your talking about me right? a hot male nerd? check and check!

haha!
