| Do nerds actually have girlfriends?
Posted: 8/2/2006 10:36:20 AM | No, nerds do not have girlfriends.
They have harems of gorgeous super models who cater to their every whim and fight over who gets to pleasure him next, but no, I wouldn't call them "girlfriends." | |

| Do nerds actually have girlfriends?
Posted: 8/2/2006 10:50:05 AM | Well I've attended Japanese animation conventions and seen guys hooked up so apparently "nerds" can indeed have girlfriends 
Seems a silly question really, no matter what social demographic you fall into, there are other like-minded individuals in that same group, the trick is to find one you mesh with 
I think a lot of problems arise when one has "unrealistic expectations" and attempts to pursue someone who appears to be from a seemingly-different world (e.g. the proverbial nerd shooting for the high-school home-coming queen when she already has a jock-boyfriend, etc.) At that point you may have to do some growth and extend yourself a bit before you can successfully branch out into a new demographic.
I have plenty of tendencies that could be considered nerdish:
1) I love computers (Porn, mp3s, movies - what's not to love? )
2) I actually know how to assemble and program them (Computer Engineering degree)
3) I play the occasional video game (recently bought a PS2 for kicks)
4) I watch cartoons (one of my hobbies is cartooning)
But I don't do those 24/7, I also get outside and enjoy life, and I take pride in working out so I've built up enough muscles to whoop most people foolish enough to laugh at items 1 through 4
I think you only become a "nerd" when you don't have the slightest clue how to interact with other people - something I used to have a great deal of difficulty doing, but with years of effort, hundreds of embarassing mistakes, and some very supportive friends, you would never know I once had difficulty socializing. 
Cheer up OP if you're still reading this thread, there's hope yet  | |

Nerds need help with their clothing so they need a girl who is nerdy on the inside but a sharp dresser on the outside.

Dude there are many women out here who love guys like you. Your young and in college.. Eat it up..
To break it down to terms you can understand. The girl your looking for is your quest, find out what you can about her before you engage in the "First date Battle", see who her friends are, find a simular interest (music, sports, walks), even change some of your own if you can.
Take a week off of MMO's and goto spring break bud. You will not regret it.

Posted: 11/14/2006 9:42:34 AM | OP. If you are still out there, your problems start with your profile. You have only one shot with you in it, and you are showing something of boobage. Further, your text says nothing, except that your friend might hook you up with some "hot girl".
Grow some personality.
I think a lot of problems arise when one has "unrealistic expectations" and attempts to pursue someone who appears to be from a seemingly-different world (e.g. the proverbial nerd shooting for the high-school home-coming queen when she already has a jock-boyfriend, etc.) At that point you may have to do some growth and extend yourself a bit before you can successfully branch out into a new demographic. LOL, actually I dated the homecoming queen a short while, and a model (two actually), and a movie actress.
I think you only become a "nerd" when you don't have the slightest clue how to interact with other people - something I used to have a great deal of difficulty doing, but with years of effort, hundreds of embarassing mistakes, and some very supportive friends, you would never know I once had difficulty socializing. Exactly. You put in the work and you reap the rewards. | |

Posted: 11/14/2006 9:49:02 AM | Dude... lvl 30 mage? Psh.
6 lvl 60's. THAT'S a nerd. I think my muscles started to atrophy by the end.
Man was I glad when I quit WoW.
And to answer your original question, it's hit and miss; there are women out there who love the nerd sub-species, but they are in a somewhat disproportionate ratio to their male counterparts.
Good luck to us all.

Posted: 4/12/2009 7:01:52 PM | Wow... you've only asked out 8 girls in 6 years? I've asked out probably over 200 girls in the last year, both on the internet and off. Only three or four of those were not rejections. You have to remember that a rejection is not a reflection of your value as a human being. Think of it from the girl's point of view. She may not be attracted to your "type", or she may have a boyfriend, or she may be too busy to have a relationship. All of these are very good reasons to not want to date someone, and none of them mean that you are "bad" or ugly or undesirable. Stop looking at rejection as a "bad" thing. If someone has a really good reason not to date you, wouldn't you want them to reject you rather than lead you on?
Get used to talking to people, and start networking. Target girls based on their interests, not just their nice looking butts. Show girls that you're interested in them as people. Most importantly, don't attach unrealistic expectations to your interactions with the opposite sex. When you go to talk to a girl, think, "She may want me, or she may not. Either way, I can still use this experience to improve my ability to talk to girls." Stop thinking of rejection as failure... and if you are definitely sure you did something wrong, then think "Oh well, I guess that's something I have to remember to do differently next time." Because there will always be a next time.
And, for the love of meatballs, stop playing WoW. | |

Them's fightin' woids! 
Actually, there's nothing at all wrong with being a "nerd." Heck, I often say to people that I'm a nerd and proud of it. I really am. I have a master's degree, am a professional scientist, am a member of Mensa. You get the picture.
It's just a matter of being true to yourself and liking yourself exactly the way you are. There's no shortage of women who are actually attracted to nerdy guys, ya know. | |

Posted: 4/12/2009 7:40:26 PM | my husband is a geek type. in my opinion, work on two things 1)do not throw all the geek stuff at her at once. Alittle nerd at a time would be best. Also, do not be braggy. If you start going on about your IQ and telling her all about how much she doesn't know you would loose any chance. Keep the conversation on an even playing field at first, things like politics or work or family is something that everyone can relate to.
2) loose the nerd look. Women are okay with a smart guy and can put up with a few annoying past times, but you need to not look the nerd part. (not saying that you should pretend to be someone you are not) Just make sure that your physical appearance is appealing. | |

Posted: 4/12/2009 7:48:16 PM | Ahhh, yes, the classic "You need to look the way a woman wants you to look."
BS. Look the way you want to look. If she's going to discount you on that basis, she doesn't deserve the air she breathes, and she certainly isn't worth your time.
Funny how so many say "Substance before surface" until it comes to a surface thing they think is important...  | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 6:22:54 AM | OP mediamake is right; I can't count how many profiles say ,"I'm a nerd looking for a nerd". totally cool nowadays;
I think the internet has created a lot of nerds; very smart people that are socially lacking in a lot of confidence and savvy. Many hide behind computer screens and text messages instead of getting out their and living.
Just be yourself and get out there and meet people; so many want Mr. or Miss right to come out of their computer screen or knock on their door with a pizza saying,"where have you been all my life".
It's amazing; I dont know how people had sex, met, got married and had children without texting and the internet; lol; of course I'm being extremely sarcastic.
Get out of the house and meet people; it's really not hard if you try. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 7:44:34 AM | The reason nerds are nerds is because they have poor social skills. They just don't seem to understand the whole human interaction thing. They often push too hard or not hard enough. They can't find the middle ground that works well for them.
They may have a life partner willing to put up with it though. | |

There's your problem right there.... you're can't seriously call yourself a nerd until you hit at least 70; and Alliance??? Please... get yourself over to the horde where all the hotties are at. I know several single girl-gamers from my ex-guild who are awesome AND pretty.
Seriously though, maybe glancing over the nerdy GIRLS is your issue... stop staring at the hot chicks... there are plenty of nerdy chicks sitting around you that probably think you're awesome.
I'm not suggesting you lower your standards, but maybe you should increase your view. Also, unless you are going to DATE a gamer, don't mention WoW - non-gaming girls (and even some gaming girls) cringe at the mention of wow. Breaks up far too many relationships than necessary.
Good Luck
(for the horde!!)

What is it that makes you a nerd?
ECE
LOL
Mwhahaha! It's kinda true.
You would think that it would change by the time you're 27, but I guess we'll have to wait a few more years.  | |

Posted: 4/14/2009 11:50:26 AM | I'm a nerd! My SO is a nerd! So at least one nerd out there has a girlfriend! 
However, I have to say we are both nerds in the traditional sense: brainiacs with a love of learning. Not so much *geeks.* We have social lives (with nerds AND non-nerds). We don't like Star Wars and I still consider myself to be way too cool for WoW .
It's all about social skills, babe. By the time a guy realizes I'm weird, I've already lured him in and trapped him with my goods.  | |

Posted: 4/14/2009 12:31:12 PM | Of course girls like nerds. Many women are into them. Why? Nerds and geeks are interesting, smart, and usually pretty funny in an off-beat way. Too bad there aren't that many GUYS into nerdy/geeky/dorky chicks, *especially* those male nerds:
So many of them want the hot, chic, sparkly-lip gloss divas and princesses. I've had girlfriends though, and they certainly dug me. So it's not all bad. *grin*
You are so WRONG on that grrl! Guys love nerdy girls! I swear, when I was in high school, I had a major crush on that girl from the movie Real Genius. I thought she was the perfect woman (even though she had ADD and was hyperactive).
The problem is that all these women are now trying to get on the nerd bandwagon! Everytime I read another Maxim or GQ magazine, I see another supermodel calling themselves nerdy! When Jennifer Love Hewitt starts calling herself nerdy, we have lost sight of the definition!
And OP, nerds in the modern day are what HS jocks were to girls in the 1980's..... | |
