Would you consider yourself a nerd?

[Uncle FEFL]

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).

Exactly this lol. Except my friends know I play games. They know my DS is hacked too, we listen to music on it. To be honest, football (US) helped me become much more social.

 

[jazvdb]

Wow this topic got big lol

 

[Hop2089]

I'm not a nerd at all, just a geek that you can have a drink and socialize with.

 

[Leo Cantus]

I know a lot about gaming, well compared to normal people... Don't know about technical stuff like how computers work and these programming langauges. I'm okay at sports, I watch a lot of football (european). People in my class wouldnt consider me as a nerd, but I do have a slightly nerdy side I guess, only a little bit though

 

[NeSchn]

I'm a nerd and I'm proud. I tell people about me doing nerdy stuff too (even girls) because I just don't care. They like me for me

As for the type, I would say I'm the average nerd.

 

[wyndcrosser]

Hell yes. But I also spent 6yrs in the Marine Corps, and can still f-k you up. So, yea... you get to read a lot of books and graphic novels in Afghanistan, when there's no power.

I guess the fact that I took the time to answer this poll explains it all. But definitely a nerd.

 

[Hells Malice]

I'm a nerd, but i'm also a well built guy.
So basically I can be as nerdy as I possibly would like, and am still able to beat the crap out of anyone who insults me for it.

My games room is part gym. So when i'm bored of playing games, I work out till i'm bored of that...and then play some more games, or do other nerdy things online.

 

[triassic911]

I'm a nerd, but you would never notice until you get invited into my room.

EDIT: After I posted, I read the post above mine. I'm in his situation. I'm a nerd and will fuck up anyone would makes fun of me for it. I did alot of boxing at age 13&14.

EDIT 2:

Me and my friend are going to join the marines! We both love to box so we thought it would be a great life challenge.

 

[Pliskron]

I'm a fucking cage fighter who enjoys figure skating, art museums, and fine dining.

 

[ToiletDS]

I have a girlfriend, but, IM A NERD!

 

[Dagatahas]

LOL. This thread reminds me of the movie. And incidentally a 'net Search revealed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd_pride#Nerd_pride

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd_Pride_Day (or Geek Pride day, I can't seem to find OtaPride)

Computers and games have revolutionized the nerd life(style).

I consider myself a nerd(and proud of it) although a friend of mine says I can't be a true nerd(or a true trekkie) until I learn to speak Klingon. I may not be built like a tank but yes I can F people up because I cheat

 

[jazvdb]

hey there

 

[Sumea]

Well there is no thing where I would not be more skilled at doing with computers than my friends - but I do not want myself associated with that 80's stereotypical nerd though...

(that is what I think when I heard word nerd...)

 

[Panzer Tacticer]

According to common labels I am many things.

Nerd because I CAN fix your computer. I've built my own.
Geek because I play Dungeons and Dragons (have since Gygax gave it to us).
Socialist because I have no problem caring for the needy (not lazy, I said the needy).
Hawk because I AM war like. Peace through strength is not just a motto.
Right wing, because I DO believe in individual rights.
Atheist because thanks to science I know there is NO god (regardless of how many timid fools say there is).
Skeptic because I know science is wrong plenty of times, has been in the past, will be in the future.
Hedonist because I have no shame connected to my body.
Humanist, I am ok referring to myself as an animal, I AM one, an omnivorous mammal to be precise.
I'm not an otaku though, regardless of the fact I like Sailor moon and a thousand other anime females. I have a real wife not a pretend waifu. I have children. I have a life.
I am a craftsman, you name it I can make it.
I'm an intellect, the last time I checked my IQ was two levels beyond the common for mainstream.
I'm an aries, never ask me for the truth or an opinion, you might not like the response, because I won't make it up to protect your feelings.

My proudest label though is I am a father. You don't want to miss out on this label, but wait till you are at least 25 and then enjoy being married 5 years first, trust me on this one.

 

[prowler]

No.
Now I have my glasses...
Yes.

I'm actually really stupid when it comes to work.

 

[MgARBITER]

I like to think of my self a geek really bc nerds are usually seen as super smart people. But, if u cross them u get gerd. A breed of semi-smart people who can hack, play video games, browse this sit, complain about Anti-piracy, and still not have to worry about getting there underwear on top of the flagpole lol.
