Poll: Geek vs Jock Vs Geek/Jock

[conquerworm]

Ok, So I don't consider myself a jock but I have found a love of adventure racing and was wondering if there are others here like myself that are Geeks with a Jock side.

Jock here doesn't refer to the odd skateboarding or biking once in awhile, but being Actively involved in an organized club or clubs that are related to sports.

 

[Curtmiester]

Other. The Black Knight....please?

 

[BeastofShadow]

I don't know the definitions. Someone mind explaining for the European?

 

[Jedoro]

I'm Batman, but that option isn't on the poll for me.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I'm a mage.
I see no choice for mage on the poll, so, therefor, I can't pick.

I'm a money grubbin' twerp who does every possible thing that earns money. What does that count as?

These are mainly terms used in stereotypical high schools. That said, I suppose I was technically a geek, but I got along with the "jocks" just fine.

Nobody can truly be defined by a category like that

I'm secretly a robot. Robots have no understanding of geekiness.

I don't know the definitions. Someone mind explaining for the European?

Geeks are typically the less athletic type that focus more on education, entertainment, or hobbies that don't include balls. Theses hobbies being like chess, photography, playing an instrument (think marching band, not rock band)programming a computer, things of that nature. Jock usually being the athletic sort, like football players (American or otherwise), but sometimes expands and includes guys that take shop class (wielding, automotive, carpentry) or are in bands (that play guitar, drums, etc)

Me, I lean more towards geek even if you don't follow my definition but I've got some jock in me.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Um, I do archery? That's a sport, but also kinda nerdy. I don't think that quite qualifies as jock though

Why is there no ninja option? I can't vote if there isn't a ninja option!

 

[Cowabungaa]

Well I guess you could partially qualify me as a nerd or geek, I still don't really know the difference. Afterall, I'm fond of games, the internet, technology, science and all kinds of fantasy and sci-fi universes. But I also like sports, sadly I don't play any, but to me most sports are just another form of gaming, and I like games. But a jock? Not even closely. Nope, I'll just pick "Other" then.
