It seems to me like there's this huge boost for girls thinking that geeky and nerdy guys are "awesome" and "cool", but yet when a nerd or a geek asks them out, they fail to say "yes" because as far as I can tell, they don't want to 'ruin their image' or so I've been told by a couple of my female friends.

So now, the question is... Would you date them or even marry them?

*gets the popcorn and waits for the responses....this oughtta be good!*

Not if they won't go out first :)

I wouldn't not date OR date someone simply based on them being "geeky"... I guess it depends on how geeky or nerdy you're talking about...

every geek, and non-geek for that matter, has their own separate personalities. For example, I would never go with someone with confidence issues, but I was with a anime-gaming-computer geek (if you want to call him that) for four years. I was planning on marrying him...things just didn't work out

Labels , labels , labels why do people have to label you then reject you because of the label they put on you. Who friggin cares if you are a geek or nerd, stop persueing shallow women and you will be much better off dude

It doesn't sound like he was labeled a geek by someone else. Sounds like he did it to himself

Are you talking about the "Big Bang Theory" TV show kind of geeks?

I date whoever "fits me" and my personality.

he said " been told by a couple of my female freinds" still i reject any labels people try to stick me with. I am "odd", "weird" " just not right" and I tahnk people because it means they notice how different I am. I embrace my individuality

Probably the main reason girls seek out nerdy types is that in most cases they can provide a little more comfort in the security of a relationship.

Especially in this day and age with all the running around going on with good looking men who can't resist a forward coworker (numbers of these are also increasing drastically). That's not saying nerdy guys don't have to put up with this, but sex flings do tend to start in asthetically popular, "cool" environments. I avoid the extremely good looking guys because it's likely that somewhere down the line, they'll fall into the sinkhole formed when egos are rubbed. (For more information, look up studies on.. asthetics and their link to sex).

BUT.. nerdiness is not the only factor to consider. There's location, politics, religion, children, previous marriages, any issues that make that person unable to be in a healthy relationship like anger management, psychological disorders, drug addictions, etc..

Nerdiness is great in that you have someone with whom you can have intelligent conversations, they are normally pretty good with time management and money issues, and they are, for the most part, more loyal.

And with all that being said, I'm sure I just gave you a great example of a girl nerd.

all I can tell you is that if you go around feeling like "I'm a geek so no girl will date me"... you really won't get anyone to date you.

Those nerds are a threat to our way of life.

I read your profile...
Really u just need to find someone with the same interests as you have. Don't try and change yourself to impress someone else. Just find someone with that same interests.

I don't go by labels. I love a variety of men and most of us have an inner geek/nerd anyway; although, mine is pretty OUT there!!!

Yeah dude....if your a nerd or geek, then you wouldnt be happy with these uppity girls. You'd be attracted to her beauty but when she doesnt like yoour video games or you math skills then your gonna start to be annoyed by her.

And im not dissing on any geeks. I play video games like no other. So I know what Im talking about.

Just based on your profile and what you've written here, you'd have to find a woman attracted to a geeky nerd that spends much time gaming and watching tv. I haven't seen any trend toward dating geeky nerds except for those that also happen to be very outgoing, smart, and are motivated.... Bill Gates types (when he was a young geeky nerd). I think you need to get out more (can't meet people inside your house) and perhaps broaden your horizons a bit. But then again, so do I.

No, I labeled myself a geek. When I said the thing about being told by female friends, I meant the part that said girls not wanting to go out with me cause it'll ruin their image.

And yes, the geeks from Big Bang Theory fall into that category.

I don't have the whole "I'm a nerd so no girl will date me." It's the fact that I've asked a dozen of girls and none of them want to date me. And the thing is, there really aren't that many girls that are even interested in my interests. I'm interested in some nerdy things that go beyond just normal nerdness, so trying to find a girl that is interested in that is just hard.

I was just wondering cause I know some girls are like "Oh I only go out with the Bad Boy type, and things such as that." I was just trying to find the general consensus of this forum.

And spider, how are we a threat to your life?

Nerds saw me naked!

Ooookay...
