Nerds are super smart and are not capable of having a conversation well with other humans (making them incapeable of speaking to the opposite sex). :book:

Geeks are not as smart, however are still into something more then you average person would be. They however can speak to girls and not have a mental brakedown before doing so.

You can also "be a geek" for something and not actually BE a geek. Everyone "geeks" out for something in their life. They get more excited then those around them for one particular thing.

This explains why Geek Squad is useless.


Correct. Geeks who go corporate suck.

Some people just take their fandom to the extreme. For instance, making music videos out of their favorite shows.

I think society (at least, my society's) sees anything that doesn't involve movement as nerdy.

Watching TV too much is nerdy
Reading books is nerdy
Playing Magic the Gathering past the age of 17 is nerdy
Playing Video games is nerdy
Watching anime is nerdy
Building models is nerdy
Masterbation is nerdy... wait a second...
Watching hentai is nerdy...
Watching hentai while making love to your wife on a chair is nerdy... oh shit...
Having video game parties on saturdays with friends visiting is nerdy
Being able to build your own computer and mod your own Xbox Arcade hori Stick is nerdy

The list is too fecking long and it's full of idiots describing nerdy things. Of course, I'm a martial artist, rock climber, swimmer, and runner, so I fall under the world's best blend of human, NERDY JOCK!! I loved chemistry, sci-fi, and have recently moved into the realm of finance and stock options business.

Anime is nerdy to the uninformed and uneducated masses who think with things aside from their brains. The best way to avoid this condescending statement is to look at yourself and do something that's non-nerdy. I hear exercise and fitness can add that extra 'punch' to a nerd that's needed to be 'da man / woman' that society needs.

Anime nerdy? HELL NAW... :up:

1. People make music videos out of it!!! What losers!!!!!!
2. I think a lot if it is racism that people don't notice. Asians, esp. Japanese people, are generally looked upon as nerds for some reason. For many people, when they think Japanese, they think guy with round glasses and a calculator pouch on their pants. That's how it is in America at least. It could be different in other countries.
3. As mentioned before, people take their obsession to a higher level than they do for other things.
4. It's a different and unusual language. Japanese is not a Romance or Germanic language (duh) and thus seems like it takes more effort to learn with the different alphabets (when in reality, it's a simple language compared to English). Also, the alphabets are VERY different. More effort=nerdy
5. Have you SEEN the people who write/draw anime? :mrgreen:
6. Face it guys. Who here isn't a nerd? XD
