The Fat Nerd Stereotype

[Terminate421]

I'm 6 foot 6 and 180 pounds, I have been lazy and haven't worked out in months.

Im not fat but I am just a bit after skinny.

I'm going to start running soon though.

 

[No_Remainders]

I'm 18, 6 foot and 156 pounds.

There we go.

 

[MetallicMonkey]

I'm 5'8'' and about 190 lbs. I do need to lose some weight, but I'm not as bad as I could be.

 

[Robert2812]

So im stupidly thin with an eating problem and enjoy magic: the gathering and such..

umad?

 

[FamoFunk]

No idea how much I weigh, slightly more than a Female should, alas, I'm started the Gym again and Zumba classes so I'll be back to normal soon.

I think it's really sad how we're stereotyped like this, everyone I know who plays games or I see in shops is around the avrage, of course you get the over skinny or over fat. But you get that in everything :/

 

[zehydra]

I was under-weight for a while, so the fat stereotype obviously doesn't fit me, but I'm tall and lanky, which is another one of the stereotypes.

Ultimately, the stereotypes are nonsense.
and in the words of Robert Muldoon in Jurassic Park:

"They should all be destroyed."

 

[kaieth]

Most of the engineers/compsci/physics/etc. majors at my school are not. Also, there are so many obese people in American that those who are also nerds are a minority.

Side Note: I'm a varsity D1 athlete and anything but fat.

 

[Sneeze]

Underweight but still pretty unhealthy, can't do much in terms of exercise, at all, really. Keep meaning to work on that.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I'm underweight and play as the wide receiver on the local football team, and yet I spend the rest of my time grinding on Pokemon or reading webcomics (most of which are furries)...

I'm a nerd, but I don't quite fit in with the stereotype...

 

[Tonythion]

According to the BMI I'm overweight borderline obese for my height--I'm 5'1" (OH GOD WHY!?) and around 65 kg but I bench press 70 kg and run a mile in 7 minutes...I don't know where that leaves me because most guys my age are taller and lift less and are slower...WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME?!

 

[jack583]

6'7"
320 pounds
i have a good mix of fat and mussle that actually makes me look a little lighter.
still not a healthy amount of fat and i don't work out.
plus i can lift/hold a good sized couch by myself and still walk with ease.

any heavy/loud breathing i do is more a result of an out-of-place rib that sometimes gets to close to a lung.

 

[Jark212]

Two months ago I weighed 210lbs at 5'10.

Now I'm down to 190, feels good man...

It leaves you as awesome, good sir.
I however, am rather large. I'm around 100kg, though that fluctuates wildly at times. I'm trying to lose some fat, though I don't much care about my weight. Not sure how tall I am; probably about the six foot mark. I do Judo and Taekwon-Do, have played Rugby and done Kung Fu as well. I don't eat too well, pretty shit unhealthily tbh, but I am one hella geek/nerd/whatever you're gonna call it. I'm prolly both.

 

[Tiscolfo]

5'6 120-125 bench max is/was 135 starting weight lifting again since before summer started.

 

[IamQ]

Well, I'm underweight, so unless I'm getting myself some major muscles, I don't see me gaining weight. My body won't let fat stay on for too long. My metabolism is weird like that.

 

[BinaryCrystal]

I've been a beanstalk all my life, currently I'm 19, 6'8" tall and yeah underweight 165 lbs.
It's all skin and bones here. With my high metabolism it's impossible to gain or lose weight so I'm basically stuck where I am.

 

[smearyllama]

I'm around 199 and not particularly athletic, but I try not to pertain to those stereotypes.
It's just that after all of my homework is done, there's usually no time/ daylight to do anything else but play games.

I may not be particularly in shape, but I like exercise, and hiking up in the mountains is awesome in the Fall.
I've lost some weight lately, and I'll probably stay this same weight and just grow into it.

All in all, I think I've avoided it pretty well.

 

[T-Bone24]

I am in fact quite skinny, although I do fit the lonely nerd stereotype! So... I win?

 

[Dogstile]

I'm 196 ibs, according to a converter. 14 stone in British terms. I'm also strong as hell and due to my love of paintball I can run pretty damn fast and far. At least further than my "athletic" brother who weightlifts and goes running to train. I can lift more than him to, moved a tree trunk once. It was a big tree.

Thank you good siiir! haha but that doesn't seem like an all to bad weight for your height and the sports you do. Awww I wanted to play rugby but the team I was on was full of Samoans, Polys, and other big people...If I had the ball they would carry me then throw me... since we were never playing any official games...
I'm a hardcore gamer--my family talks amongst themselves thinking up ideas on how to get me away from my xbox...-_- Wow--a nerd who does kung fu and rugby--awesome
