Glasses ? Nope 20/20 vision here...

Overweight ? I weigh in at 145 standing 5 foot 9

Buck teeth ? Nope, sorry. Had braces at age 15, Im 38 now.

Into school/college life ? Nope. High school diploma here. And if I had skipped class more, I probably wouldnt even have that.

Socially awkward ? Nope. I enjoy a good conversation. If you ask me a question, Ill answer it. I wont tell you to "google it".

No sex life ? Not the case here. I would describe my sex life as "decent". For a guy who is anti-marriage and doesn't want kids, I do better than most.

Dress Code ? Down south hip hop. I dont dress like a lot of the guys that go to Botcons. Ive been to 4 Botcons and often get dirty looks for not fitting in with the crowd. I made some friends though because not everybody was like that.

Read comic books ? Not really. Let it be known I hate reading. Ive tried, its just not me. Also, I hate super heroes and other spandex wearing characters.

Do I love Transformers ? F**K YEAH !!! I grew up with them as a kid. Collecting has kept me out of trouble and kind of relieves my stress. Transformers are just cool. We can all agree on that.

Am I a nerd ? I dunno, you tell me ? If were talking common stereotypes, I probably dont fit the bill. But if loving transformers and fan forums makes me a nerd by default, then it is what it is...


I don't think being a "nerd" has anything to do with those stereotypes.

It has more to do with a singular interest with a non-standard degree of knowledge in that particular interest that would more than likely overwhelm another person in regular conversation.

The behavior, dress type, "degree of coolness", etc...none of that matters. You could be a stay at home mom who loves/obsesses over Game of Thrones...nerd. You could be a union steel worker who meticulously grows orchids...nerd.

It's just a stupid word that people use to describe others who are truly invested in their hobby and no longer give a **** what others think about it.


Well said CP. We're all "Nerds" here. Even Taboo from Black Eye Peas collect toys.


CP make a good point, plus he knows me in person.

Not gonna lie though, Tsus generalization about transformers collectors and "orgies" didnt sit too well with me. His picture generalizing how most of us must look was blatant stereotype.

CP's statement on what a nerd is strikes bullseye!

Whoever made that insulting stereotype ( I blame self loathing nerds who turned into comedy script writers as the source) deserve a Ultra mega wedgie!

*shrug* Name calling and stereotypes only hurt if we let them. I embrace my nerdism. This nerd is doing much better than many of those self proclaimed "jocks" in high-school are these days, at least if my last reunion is any indication...

To me, it's all about intent. It's also why I will generally refer to myself as names/stereotypes and refrain from doing so to others. If the intent is to hurt another with a name, then to me, it's a reflection on the name caller, not me.

So, I truly embrace terms like nerd, geek, etc. That way, they lose the intended effect if the name calling was malicious. If it was, then I just pity the one who called me it...





Oh, and that was awesome, Burn! :lol:
