Are you a nerd?
« on: February 12, 2011, 04:48:04 am »

Hi, I love DF and I think it is a really really nerdy game.
I think, I am a nerd and I also think, that many of the DF - Players are nerds.

So I wanted to do this poll, to find out, whether it's true or not.

You can also discuss here, why you chose it and you can also talk about my point of view.

Greetings mateys!

I used to be, but you know what, not so much any more. I mean I spend a lot less time playing video games then I used to, and now are a 'casual' gamer at most. I don't watch much anime, I mean an episode here and there when I'm realy bored, but in no way am I keeping up. Ever since I started to study programming, it has dropped on my list of things to do when I get home.

I used to be a lot more of a nerd, but not so much any more.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

My astonishing sex appeal and rippling bodice can't reach a consensus on what constitutes a nerd, so I really don't know.

Maybe if I flex in a suggestive way I'll figure it out.

Too socially functioning to be a nerd.
Still a shut-in, though.
As for the anime, that's pretty normal around here.

I find that many people don't know what a nerd is and often confound them with geeks.
So I'm just going to throw this in here.
Quote from: Wikipedia
Nerd is a term that refers to a person who avidly pursues intellectual activities, technical or scientific endeavors, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests, rather than engaging in more social or conventional activities. It often carries a derogatory connotation or stereotype. The nerd may be awkward, shy and unattractive.[1] Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers, or will tend to associate with like-minded people.
Hell yes.

Although I do resent that one sentence.

It must be so hard to be so good looking. Maybe I should massage your shoulders in a hetrosexual way that shows you to appear as the dominate male, to help you relax.

Where's the "I'm a nerd and I don't feel any particular way about it" option? Seriously, I have no doubt I'm a nerd, but it doesn't mean I have to be proud of it or depressed about it. It's just who I am. Self-acceptance without pride is the way to being a better (non-egotistical...) person, in my opinion.

Anyway, aren't nerds sexy or something nowadays? Or is that just twats who dress in those stupid, stupid "nanny-knitted" vest things?
