Most girls don't want someone who is just going to stay inside the home. They want a guy who is willing to go out and do things with them...

Is there a such thing as too fat? Too old? Too boring?

I tend to like nerdy guys. So long as they don't always want to hang out around the house. I myself have my nerdy moments after all.

I know this is ask a girl, but I can hardly help myself.

Being too nerdy is an idea best left with the torments and joys of younger days [like grade school] . If you have the right balance activity in your life there's hardly a problem with being into the nerdy things.

Its when you occupy your time so well that a woman can be classed as 'extra baggage' beside everything else that it may be good to reorganize. Maybe you might get lucky and find a girl that's into the same stuff.

I know it's possible, my rather nerdy cousin has a really awesome wife.

No. Embrace it. But if you're anything like me, you need practice socializing. It's worth it. And if your nerdy stuff is all you talk about, realize that that's not interesting to a lot of people.

Depends on what you mean by nerd..Do you duct tape your glasses? Do you snort thru your nose when you laugh? Do not shower for days on end because you need to be the first to complete the newest video game on the market ...so you can also be first to post the cheats?

Do you also talk endlessly in 'nerd tech talk' about things most people with human brains wouldn't understand? Do you actually try to explain the anime story lines to someone that seriously couldn't give a s**t what 'so and so' from Bleach was doing?

If you answered YES...to any of the above questions....Then Yes...you are wayyyy to nerdy for most women and should be checking out the 'pc hardware drive' message boards for dates!

edited to add...using spellcheck on the other hand...is NOT nerdy!!

If you're alone most of the time and not socializing, you may need to re-think that.
We all need "practice socializing" for lack of a better word.
It really isn't a problem as far as what you do for a living, it's how you are when you're out in the world.

the golden rule is, if it makes money, then your geek is justified, if you are still living with you mom and take the bus ... not so much

p.s. hook up with purple shes into geeks.

I'm sure there is a woman out there that would love a nerdy boy! If you're always working on computers or drawing... how are you going to meet the nerdy lovers? It sounds like you're in the same category of a work-o-holic a lot of women steer clear of them as well!

Absolutely! You can appear to be self absorbed and uninteresting to anyone but yourself. Even you need a break from yourself.

I'm a movie nerd and could talk about film all day, but I know when it's appropriate when I'm chatting with a girl. I dont just bring the topic up and try to get her to talk about it. When it comes up, it comes up and the conversation will usually just flow naturally until it moves to something else.

Stop wasting time and energy labeling yourself, and wondering if the women will like you or not. Not all will. Not all will like any of us. But there will be some who like all of us.

On a new car lot, there are many of the same model of car, and the only thing that makes them different, is the option package that they come with. Buyers will pass on a car, just because that option package dosnt work for them.

Dating is exactly the same thing.

What's wrong with sharing your interest with the person you're with a little...they might not give a "S**t" but if they care about you they'll listen.

You know good and well you'd drive a ferrari without A/C. =P Or...Halle Berry even though she's crazy. ROFL!!! Ok maybe not...but some things grant..lead way.

Sorry OP. But just to make this post somewhat meaningful. I watch a lot of anime...I stay up till 2am on certain nights waiting for manga to be released. I have a wall of programming related books...but I'm social. You'd never know unless you actually stepped into my house or mentioned something and I couldn't keep my mouth shut and came out with my hidden nerdiness.

I haven't read the replies yet, so here's my thoughts.

I'd love to meet a nerdy guy, PROVIDED he has developed some people skills, too. It would be great if he recognized what appropriate interaction with other humans was like, and wasn't all-consumed by his online (or computer-building, or whatever) habits.

If he was able to give the understanding he wanted from me as far as MY interests, that would be awesome. As in, being flexible, open, emotionally mature, not stingy with his time, able to communicate, to be warm, and to make conversation with others in social situations.

Unfortunately...most of the nerdy types I meet don't meet these criteria. It just doesn't seem to be how they're wired.

Fingers crossed, though.

I know plenty of girls who like nerds, and I'd pick a nerd over a sports jock, bogan or Cassanova any day. I was always the bookworm/music nerd in high school, and I turned out alright! Repeat after me, ''nerd' is not a social disease'.

My mum always used to say that all girls should marry nerds, because they're grateful for the attention, loyal, and tend to make lots of money. I can totally see the logic in that!

Like attracts like. I am a geek, ergo, I am attracted to_______.
