Being a Nerd/Geek...

That's not a nerd,
Its a whore who found some glasses.

Girls love nerds.

guess which kind

The kind with money.

People love to claim they are nerds, but the real nerds can be a sad thing indeed. The kids with the Buddy Holly glasses and pocket protectors are just hipsters 98% of the time, the real nerds act like the comic book guy on the Simpsons and it's painful.

no its quite good and different, the op has a point, why are people who like computers/video games considered nerds and geeks and yet the cool guys are the trolls who make them nerds and geeks by oppressing them so they cant leave the house just because they don't look right, why cant guys go to the park and discuss retro gaming instead of guys sitting down talking about how to clean out your cars exhaust

infact I would say my post about bullying was poor as it made people express their inner feelings and guys don't do that.......do we

It was a joke.
By the way,
You don't know the difference between a "Thread" and a "Post" on an internet "Forum", do you?

^This. I know a pretty diverse bunch of people. There's ones who like Marvel movies/comics/some anime/games that are what society calls geeks and others who like D&D, MtG, weirdo anime, don't shower or get haircuts, and have no idea how to interact with someone who isn't just like them. There's few people I know who I feel as bad for as the latter group.

You know, liking things like old video games doesn't put a "punch me" sign on your face. I like things like that and so do my friends. The point is sometimes you have to meet society halfway if you want a social life. That means making an effort to fit in. If you go around acting like That Which Has No Life, you're going to have a rough time of it. Everyone had problems when they were a kid. Don't let it dictate who you grow up into.

be me.
master whatever electronic thing I'm interested in.
don't consider myself a nerd or geek.


them
have iphone
install app made by someone else
LOL I'M A NERD!

Weird world.

there is literally no such thing as "nerd/geek oppression"

a bunch of guys heading towards games workshop gave me dirty looks because of the way i look and what music i had playing at the time.

you know why people don't like nerds and geeks? because you're all assholes. thats why.

yeah there might be pressure to fit in, but tbh you can ignore all that and just do your thing.

i mean so someone doesnt fit in with the 'popular' crowd. boo hoo. i cant imagine that bothers literally anyone here considering nearly all of us are adults?
