As a reformed nerd, (I play Guitar now and everything, so I’m cool), I’d like to say, “We’re not that different.

Nerds do come in male and female versions, and from all walks of life, so there’s got to be one to suit.

So, give a nerd a chance, would you?

LOL, nerds just don't do it for me

And if you play guitar that disqualifies you from actually being one.

Not true. There's plenty of nerds who play guitar.

See: The Protomen. An entire band dedicated to telling their version of a video game story. With guitars. And they're ridiculously nerdy.

Lol I wouldn't look up a nerdy band- it's not my thing

I'll stick w/ John Mayer, Jimmy Page, Keith Urban, Prince & Jack White

The OP does have a good point though....there are a lot of women here that are really into nerdy men. I just am not one of them, lol

Depends on the quality and degree of nerdom.

My husband is a self-professed nerd, but most wouldn't really consider him one. Yes, he is/was (moved up into management) a software engineer but he isn't really "into" computers. He doesn't play games on them and really doesn't even want to look at one after work. He likes to watch sports but isn't really good at them. lol He isn't the prototypical cool guy but I don't really consider him a nerd either. He's good with people and can get in front of a room and be engaging. I totally support these types. Obviously! His friends are of a similar vein though some of his work friends cross over into TRUE nerd territory.

There are many categories of nerds. Some may appeal to some women and others have traits that turn off certain kinds of women (i.e. playing video games all day or other obsessions). Now, if the woman is turning down a guy solely because he lacks the "cool" appeal that impresses her girlfriends, then she's not worth the time anyway. I doubt the Steve Erkel type will ever have much luck with non-nerd women.

So you are suggesting someone have pity sex with a nerd because they have needs too?

Nothing wrong with nerds, it's the geeks you need to keep an eye on.

Wait till you get a little older. Nerds are the ultimate prize for women in their late 20s and up.
