Nerds Aren’t Sexy

Post Reply New Topic

Am I the only one who wasn't hurt?

I've said to my friends before "if I wanted to kiss something in the middle of a bunch of hair I'd be a lesbian."

I wasn't hurt, more offended on your behalf

But then its seems like it's open season if you want to be rude on here except if I do it!
(probably because I'm too good at it lol)

Nerds can be sexy, as long as they don't look like typical nerds. That means, pimples, fatness, beards included.

None of the characters on 'The Big Bang' are fat (or have beards) and I'd say they're typical nerd types

What can I say?
We mainly work with formal complaints.
Snide remarks about how someone´s post is offensive on a thread tend to be ignored.

You appear to have gotten a few fans who like to follow you around and report what they see

Why is it random?

It's directly linked to the concept of desperation, which was being discussed

I get the impression it's because I don't put all the steps in my thought process down
ie I assume some level of joined up thinking and don't want to patronise people

if people want me to dumb it right down though they've only got to say

I think that was kind of the point of the original post.
Attractive people are, by definition, not nerds (there are different definitions, though, which makes arguing about this quite complicated).


The people that you see on TV are in fact actors.

Dumb what down? I got your point; I just said it was random. Random is good.

To me, random means with no connection to what went before; a subject just plucked out of the air

No wonder you reacted defensively, then. I wasn't even meaning it in a bad way; what you said wasn't what I predicted you'd say. *shrug* I didn't think you'd say anything back.

Ok

I'm checking back with people exactly what they
mean to try and improve my communication style

I did know that, but they are portraying stereotypical nerds

What I love is the way when people explain what nerds and geeks are there's always the unspoken implication that they most certainly aren't one themself

I think jocks can be more accepting because they usually have a lower level of sophistication and intelligence. Which can be a good thing. White rich kids not only have a higher IQ, they have a high EQ as well and are ridiculously socially sophisticated in ways I could never be. Give me some macho gansters with an average to below-average IQ, and my social sophistication and theirs are pretty comparable. They are experts at reading people and avoiding B.S., as am I, but they still lack a level of class and sophistication, which I do also. Some of them are as pissed off at society as I (and probably a lot of people here) are, so there is something I and they often have in common.

So during those times I work out enough to fit int physically (definitely not at the moment, as I'm in school and going through some borderline and ptsd sh**), that can be a fairly good fit. I have learned quite a bit from having black male friends from the hood in years past. Learning boxing was a great hobby that made some good friends a few years ago.
