Because its pretty much put into all teen males heads (via movies and TV) that the jocks/muscular guys get the girls. We always hear "I want a real man" and to a lot of us that means pumping iron, hauling logs, working on cars, welding, etc..stuff that doesnt interest us in the least bit. Therefore we dont perceive ourselves as the "real men" you girls want. That and every time i walked down the hallway in HS and saw a girl i liked she was usually arm in arm with a muscular guy.
I'll agree with the last few people that said "popular culture". it's not that nerds can't get any ladies, it that they're portayed as being really wierd or really nerdy and unable to socialize. after years of watching that crap and then finally getting to high scho or college yourself, would you even bother trying?
thankfully I think people are either becoming more accepting of nerds and geeks, or the nerds and geeks of today are far less so than their counterparts.
Why do nerdy men think they can't get a lady? I'm sure many ladies like the brainy men am I right ladies?
Nerdy and brainy are two totally different and separate things. There are nerds who are NOT brainy and there are brainy people who are FAR from being nerds. Most women wouldnt dare date or be seen with a nerdy guy, but they all want to marry brainy guys. Brainy = money.
So, you're saying that brainy = nerdy? I don't agree.
I do love brainy men. Nerds...not so much.
My experience indicates that "brainy" is seldom recognized as such, if the guy isn't also good looking. Then, everything he says impresses women.
However, if an average man is able to get a reputation in the wider world, that tags him as brainy, hot women will usually seek him out. I somehow doubt that the brainy aspect of him was the prime reason.

Nerds are often brainy guys without the looks that women consider necessary to be considered brainy. However, some are just into their own little world that interests them - things that women find boring.
Oh yeah nerds are so hot. Just wait until he takes you to go see his videogame collection in his parents house. And did I mention he is unemployed and in his 30s?
