Nerd girls are HOT.

@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - agreed!!!

That said. i still don't understand what this post is about other than its about nerds.... and i read it. lol.

I'm dating a super nerd who just happens to be very buff. *drool*It's a wonderful compromise! XD I'm smart, but he always has a way of teaching me something everytime I'm with him.

I agree that nerds are overlooked and under appreciated, but the girl that gets with the nerd knowing he's going to be a success is just another gold digger, and that's not going to work. The nerd should be smart enough to see past the pussy and recognize that he's being played... for money, or because the girl wants to date someone smart.

However, nerds are cool these days. The "nerd" status is moving up and becoming far more acceptable. I've seen thousands of Hipster nerds sipping lattes at Starbucks, wearing their Chuck Taylors and horned rimmed glasses, talking about whatever nerdy shit is on their mind; and half the time they've got some cute artsy fartsy chick on their arm!

I work in the Information Technology field, so I interact with nerds on a more frequent basis than anyone. You find two types of nerds (and I'm only talking about male nerds)

1 - The guy that was picked on in high school, had horrible success socially and with women... became emotionally scarred and can't let go of the resentment he holds from high school. Treats jocks and pretty girls like shit, cherishes his Ubuntu OS and thinks any Microsoft user is a fucking retard...

2 - The guy that had the same tough time growing up as #1, but has learned from it. He is now extremely confident IN HIS WORLD, be it science or computers or math or whatever... He is a master of his field, makes good money, respects himself and is confident with who he is. Plus, he gets to tell those yesteryear naysayers where to stick it...

I don't know if that answered the question, because I didn't really understand what the question was... but that's my two (or 10) cents

This is gonna be a LOOOOOONG rant. I am a nerd/dork as well and I can easily tell you where you went wrong. If you wish to avoid the text, look for the bold.

So...you're saying that the nerd transforms into the super-attractive intellectual that most women desire? In addition, they become cold and heartless to any woman who made fun of them in the past? Uhhh...sound in theory. Ironically, they transform because of the girl who crushes him and is done to prove them wrong. First and foremost, a girl I crushed on was a buxom airhead, but despite her not having intelligence equivalent to my own, me and her got along great because the conversations we were having were all in clean fun; it didn't matter to me that she didn't know shit from shineola (she wasn't really stupid, but you can get a lot of double entenders over her head). but she was just fun to be around. Relationships or friendships are strong if two people enjoy each other's company. By enforcing too many standards, you set yourself up too high on the pedestal. Secondly, nerds who may know something may still get boned in the long run. The job market is brutal. This applies to everybody of every major: YOUR TRAINING AMOUNTS TO SHIT IF YOU CAN'T FIND A PLACE TO WORK! Sure, he may be a major in physics, does him no good if he can't find anything for him to do.

"According to girls I knew, I was that nerd, and I didn't even recognize it. I knew more about music, a little more about social situations, I was not a party animal, not really a bookworm and I am a big hermit. I hated going to school dances, I live a strict straight edge lifestyle (if you knew people's public feelings on hooking up, you'd understand why this was considered nerdy), and the only friend I have now in college is a girl I once had a conversation with about Boards of Canada and psytrance..."

Neither was I. You're no hardcore nerd. You're just brainy. Here's a fun fact: Despite what you may do, society has a way to praise you and hate you. For example; right now I could be considered an outsider because I do shit from multiple genres (pokemon and death metal), but if I chose to get myself in shape and wore nicer clothes; I become a tool. If I chose to let my weight go, I become a fatass. If I start to spend a lot more time focusing on my appearnces, I might become a Guido. You won't win, so it's best to not care what the hell other people think, as all it's going to do is break your balls.

"According to some of them, I was smart, yes, but I was always labeled the arrogant one, when all I wanted to be is both the romantic and the logical one. I'm also logical about love, too, which is what some people find impossible (by that, I mean I now know all the classic cliches and the pitfalls)."

Ah! Et Tu Brute? Guys like us are the ones who see the shit coming, but due to lack of experience, nobody is going to listen. They'll just have to hit the rocks and learn it that way. Advice is no real teacher for experience: just because you can advise somebody of the perils ahead does not mean that they will listen to you. I've had this happen before when people think I'm being stupid because I've never authentically had it happen to me. Best thing you can do is to let them learn the hard way. You did tell them so. It does pay to be logical about love, but you will also come off as emotionless. Logic, though right, isn't moving stuff. One last thing on this one: FROM FIRST-HAND WITNESSING: YOU CAN HAVE THE PERFECT MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP AND IT CAN STILL GO TO HELL!  Logic should prevail and it's smart to know the cliches and pitfalls; but that doesn't mean you still won't get suckered into one. Life is indeed stranger than fiction.

My condensed version to yours: You're half right. Women in high school aren't really looking at interior traits; they're looking for a hot bod and a cheap fuck. Can't blame them, as they don't have all the knowledge of what they really want when they were 15-18; hell the men didn't either, nerd or jock. OR, they did know what they want and you just didn't fall into their interests. It's not fair to make a woman fall in love with you because you feel that you are more deserving. Your problem wasn't that you were intellectual, nor was it the ability to forsee problems. Speaking firsthand; Your problem was the fact that you had always allowed logic to stop you from doing damn near anything, AT ALL. It's one thing to be cautious; it's another to restrict the ideas of doing anything to damn near nothing. By restricting what can be done in a relationship to what you deem is fun, you are not much better than the person who physically abuses his S.O. Even in later life, women who can see these traits think you are going to be no fun at all, nor will they think that you can handle problems that come up, rather see you as a coward who will run away/avoid problems rather than face them when they come.

P.S. I, being an loud, fat-assed ugly nerd have easily made tons of friends. You've gotta be doing something else wrong not within the realms of intellect and logic.

@pansybradshaw@xanga - ha

You know what else is missing from your posts? Spelling, grammar, punctuation, literacy, intelligence... and you're right, there probably never will be.

I don't believe that your boyfriend has a PhD, unless you're referring to his pretty huge dick.... no way someone smart enough to earn a PhD would stick around with an illiterate dude like yourself.

I dated a nerd. Everything about him made me feel inferior, and as a result, I spent all my time trying to be someone he'd like, instead of being myself. I didn't even realize what I'd been doing until after we broke up.

I know I'm smart, I just don't know all there is to know about tabletop gaming and World of Warcraft... actually, I don't really know anything about those things. Maybe that's why he made me feel inferior, besides his stoic personality and his misunderstanding of just about everything I said.

i am a huge nerd and it definitely colored how i treated other people when i was in high school. i was the biggest bitch ha. i like to think i've calmed down since then, but i know i can never date someone who can't carry a conversation with me; in my hearts of hearts, i still think the same way sometimes...I've just gotten more polite.

I wasn't 'with' the popular crowd in highschool so I don't think I ever picked on anyone.  Ironically, I was picked on a few times by someone that looked like a nerd because I was new and shy.  Forget the cliques, why can't we all get along--because we didn't know who we were back then.  As animals, maintaining ranks' important for group dynamics.  Can you tell which group I was from?

I like nerds because they challenge me, and I'm capable of viewing them as equals.  If you aren't my intellectual equal, I probably won't be very attracted to you.

if you're picking fights with anyone about how a particular artist meant for you to feel about a particular song, you're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

I love nerds. 

I'm a nerd, and I'm dating a nerd. He's the first person I feel like I can completely be myself around. Nerdy boys are honestly better boyfriends.
