1. I know that I am not handsome but I am not sure how girl think about me?

Posts your pictures, profile, and keyword at www.hotornot.com. Let it run for about a month and get the most median on the rating 1-10.

2. Stereotypes?

No comments. You need to cover scientist's tracks on that matter. Who know? This might be a good application to DNA mapping.

3. Can't find someone?

You either embarrassed or bashful, try posting something online and see if you can get some response.

4. Girls with asperger are pretty?

Asperger is a internal disorder in the brain and doesn't effect the outward look. A male apies tend to admire pictures of female. No offense gal.

5. Aspies have hunchback?

It not being aspies that give us hunchback, it spending too much on computer while leaning toward the monitor screen. By the way, the reason why geek people wear glasses is because they stare at monitor for ages that causes eye strain. Eye doctor recommend people with eye strain to wear glasses.

Why do we like a freak?

If you were spending time in a bomb shelter for year and come out. Don't you think you look like that? Your hair not comb, beard unshaven, etc.

i have geek tendencies but i do not look like the geek stereotypes.

Jessica Peers looks very pretty but not prodigious. You have just seen three of such girls with Asperger syndrom walking around? Such emphasis on outward appearance seems, to me, to be outdated. What I like about most Asperger females is that they are outspoken, clever, and most of all, are an individual. I like them to be a bit geeky too. I have seen many, pretty, but geeky, freaky girls. And not just among those who have Asperger syndrome. My sister is such a girl. She is great fun to be around with. The same description of girls I like, I also adopt to guys. I believe you first have to become friends with someone before you can engage in a romantic relationship.

You guys are confusing "geek" with "nerd" and "dork."

GEEK: These guys aren't necessarily unattractive, depending on your point of view. They're just really obsessed with geeky things, such as: the sort of "geek" films discussed at sites like Ain't It Cool News or JoBlo; comic books; computer or video games; Star Wars; Lord of the Rings; Star Trek; Harry Potter; The Matrix; etc. EDIT: Oh, and anime. There ya go, Hale_Bopp. (Not everyone who likes this stuff is a geek, though, just those who are rather or totally obsessed with it.)

NERD: Good with computers, be it hardware or software. Includes computer game geeks, but not console game geeks (except the really hardcore ones). Tends to be good at math and science but not always. Many hackers could be described as this.

DORK: That icky, extremely unattractive, fat, pimply kid who has terrible BO and always has a retainer in his mouth, and always tries hanging out with the "cool kids" anyway. While Geeks and Nerds are more inclined to be friends with other Geeks and Nerds, the Dork is an outcast among outcasts--a guy who rejects his geekiness or nerdiness and desperately wants to be liked by the popular kids, and always fails miserably. (If he doesn't, he doesn't count as a dork anymore.)

Y'all are talking about dorks, not geeks. Geeks are often, to other geeks, very attractive. Dorks, however, are not.

And yes, it's extremely possible for someone to fit in a combination of the three categories, and all three at once.

I didn't realise there were categories of Geekdom. But as a videogame geek, and since that is being seen as more cool and mainstream these days, I dont think its fair to put me along side Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter geeks!

Ahh but you are talking about the REALLY obsessive ones? The trekkies, the ones who dress into costumes and memorise all the dialog of games or movies? I mean I like Star Trek casually, but I'm not all hard-core with it.

You know, in fact, I dont think anyone could be considered a Geek or whatever. Isn't EVERYONE a Geek (or 'freak') of something or another, as a result of being SO obsessed/immersed in something?

Some people are movie freaks.

Others are car freaks.

Others are videogame freaks.

Others are music freaks (into a particular band or bands)

Some are fashion freaks.


You see what I'm saying here? EVERYONE is probably a geek of something or another. Without that, we wouldn't have such creative and passionate individuals who are driving their industries forward and making change. Even though you couldn't say my Dad LOOKS like any sort of a geek, but he IS a Pink Floyd and Fly Fishing nut. So, thats makes him a geek of those interests. No?

Even these labels are more clearly defined then Asperger's!

I would personally say that I'm a minor geek. 10 years ago, that would be different, I was obsessed completely with Doctor Who. However, I've branched out. British comedy, forensics, and various videogame series like Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid and Legacy of Kain.
