Would you consider yourself a nerd?

[Danny600kill]

I am a nerd but halfway. The way i socialize and my style makes me look like im not a nerd but what i do on the computer makes me a nerd. My friends cant even believe i play games and stuff(the girls at least).

+1 im not a obvious nerd, well im not really a nerd anyways but I duno, hard to say really

 

[Satangel]

I am not really a nerd. I am more of a geek, I guess

2.
I know quite a bit of computers and games, but when it comes to the really technical side of things, I almost know nothing.
I play sports a lot and I look normal, not bad, not good.

When I was asked by a guy and his cousin on how to download games on iPod Touch, I said everything and then he says "He's a geek ain't he???". I took it as a compliment. Why deny when it doesn't harm me in a way?

I'm not really sure...do tell me! I mean I know a lot about computers and most technologies, but I don't give a darn about the electronics and stuff. I do enjoy Big Bang Theory (maybe I can relate) and play a lot of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I am reliable for fixing my mate's computers, from using common sense to specifically finding what kind of RAM is exactly needed. At the same time, I have a very normal and casual appearance.

Good topic

There are three major groupings here:

Nerd, geek & dork.

The nerd is specialized in one or two main areas. They can talk for DAYS on those couple of topics, and CAN retain some form of social standing.

The geek is one that has abilities in multiple categories but can function in other areas of life just as the normies do, but don't look like a fool to the nerds.

Dorks, well, they're in a special category. A dork can be a nerd, and MAYBE a geek... just with utter and complete social awkwardness.

I have my nerdier side about some things, but a group of girls that became my best friends in college college taught me the social graces needed to become the well rounded geek i am today

(speaking of which, i was just in the wedding of one of those girls, on New Year's Eve. Pictures will be appearing as soon as i get my hands on some

)

Halfway.
If we're counting Nerds, geeks and dork, why not include gamers?

 

[yuyuyup]

Big Bang Theory makes me vomit just thinking about such an awful show

 

[macgeek417]

I'm a nerd. I know several programming languages, I know all about electronics and enjoy taking things apart... ( My iPod 5.5G 30GB is in pieces next to me because it needs a new front case, battery, and headphone jack/hold switch/piezoelectric chirper unit

)

No, just lonely and disenfranchised.

Lonely is a state of mind. Just go out, get shit drunk and meet random people.

I am a NERD and I am PROUD!

Well I'm BOTH.

 

[Depravo]

I say I was a geek rather than a nerd. I'm more of a Roy than a Moss.

+1 i'm more roy than moss...

 

[Skid00dshi]

Err..kinda or a nerd. But not really. Just in the borderlines.

 

[Dwight]

Yes, but without all the disadvantages. The majority of my friends are pretty normal, and I go out a lot to do normal, non-nerdy things. I do know a lot about video games and computers in general, but I try not to let that affect my social life.

 

[Psyfira]

I am Geek. Hear me roar.

 

[takun32]

too bad theres to section for muscularly ripped nerd. unless im the only one of my kind, i have a friend whose kind of a muscular nerd but then i dont think hes really that big, he plays video games alot, but then he likes cars and stuff...would liking cars be considered a nerd? real cars not miniature ones LOL.

 

[Bake]

If I was a nerd I would be damn proud of it. In my eyes nerd is a person who knows about computers, plays video games and you know, knows stuff. They aren't like those primitive assholes who drink every night thinking it's cool. They make me sick. But you see, I a'm a failure so I'm just piece of trash. Look at me, trying to use every chance to write about my f***ed up life.

Exactly.

Nah. For some reason, tunning and cars in general are considered a really "cool" and "in"... so no nerd there. You've got muscles? That really is pretty rare. I can hold fine on a fight, but I'm just about slightly above average muscle-wise. Both because I hate the gym and because girls I usually date tend to dislike muscular guys, so...

That seems slightly contradictory.

I am the biggest nerd ever. (Notice the period.)
