“Nerd” is approximately equal to “Geek”, and has the connotations of social awkwardness and technical proclivity. ” Nerd” is a totally different label, and not applicable to this graph.

There’s alot of different nerd definitions in these comments, but they’re all wrong. A nerd is someone who’s just really interrested in something. Like a guy who goes to the gym everyday is a muscle nerd. Kinda contradicts all the other definitions here, don’t it?

I’m not so hot with tech, but when it comes to 80′s cartoons and mythology, i’m a master. Oh, and I’ve never played WoW, because I’m too busy hunting for action figures. Geek, nerd, or neither?

“feh” is a contraction of “fail meh” which is complete indifference blended with slight amusement at the pitifulness of the subject.

Stage 1 is a dork. unpopular but not good with tech.
Stage 2 is a nerd. also unpopular but a veritable tech master.
Stage 3 is a geek. a tech master that has gained his popularity back.
Stage 4 is a H4xxor. This is the epitome of techieness and occurs when a geek achieves enlightenment.

That’s just what I was going to say.

Brandi, that makes him not a nerd, but an idiot.

And you, I must say, a double idiot, because you know something’s wrong with him, and yet… YOU’RE MARRYING HIM.

Suck what?!

I don’t mean to but in where I don’t belong, but this begs the obvious question.
If this is how you feel about the relationship, are you sure marrying him is a good idea?

By: Brandi

Brandi — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:02:58 +0000

Uhhhh wrong! I am marrying a NERD and he would rather play any video game than act like an actual companion. Oh, and I can’t get him to leave the house and go out like normal people ever.

I clearly hate my relationship

what about the nerd pretending to be attractive?

ia somewhat. nerds are still guys so some still treat girls as ‘worth 40% of their time.’
then again mebbe i just haven’t found the right nerd. lol.

My understanding is that geeks (like myself) are people with decent social interaction but know a rediculous ammount about 1-5 subject, for example, Im a tech geek, radio geek, band geek, and military geek

I could talk to you for hours about any of those

However a nerd is very socially akward and knows a lot about everything

Dictionary Definitions

Nerd: an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

Geek: a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)

I love nerds! Just a warning, though: the “You are my everything” concept is what often stops people from dating them. Love and devotion are great, but you have to have your own life and sense of self.

“never know our pain”

…

My initial reaction is outrage. If there is any reason that this generation is having an easier time of it (which I am not assuming as a given), it’s because previous generations are creating a safer space for them. Now there may be images of nerds in the media that are kinder, and that have the potential to both comfort those who identify and broaden those who don’t…

But come on, are you paying attention? It’s not real– it’s not even close. The reality is that humans are hardwired to notice and be afraid of the different. That is not going away, regardless of whether the trimmings have become socially sanctioned.

Part of being a nerd is sticking out like a sore thumb, being ostracized, being favored, being hated and humiliated, feeling pressured to use the gifts we didn’t ask for to solve the world’s problems, the world that mostly marginalizes us.

Plus, so much of the “nerd is cool” paradigm is based on the desire to not look like a fool when the young nerds in questions grow up to make millions of dollars. But what when the majority do not? I fear a new wave of adult shaming, one that makes me hesitant to go to my ten year reunion.

Incidentally, and I don’t think this will be news to you, but it looks like your pain and loss are a direct result of isolating yourself from others, including those who would be your allies and friends. Why are you still turning away?

I realize the graph does not say this, I just said that I agree with someone else saying that a nerd acting like “you are my everything” is a little too much.

Yeah, my mind works in the same manner. I don’t think any conversation I’ve ever “simulated” has ever actually come into use. Oh well, it can be nice when sitting idly, although i dislike being idle.

While I love nerds, I’ve also found them to often be TOO dedicated, to the point of clingy. Not so hot.

BRIDGET, ALL THE GUYS THAT ARE DOUCHES AND EMOS ARE JUST NERDS TRYING TO GET GIRLS.

By: AllanJH

I’m a nerd, and this definitely applies to me.

BTW, by nerd I mean someone who knows a lot about computers and other tech-related topics. I do play some video games, but I’m not like “ZOMG I HAEV TO PLAY DIS GAEM OR ILL DIE!!!1!!1!!”

Geeks are the ones who play WoW/DnD excessively, or are obsessed with Star Trek/Star Wars/Doctor Who/Battlestar Galactica/Lord of the Rings/Any other works of fiction.

after dating nerds for years, ive decided id rather wait for an attractive guy to be occasionally interested in me than to have a nerdy guy creepily devoted to me. Creepy Nerd is Creepy.
the best of both worlds is a hot guy who likes nerdy things but isnt obsessed with them and knows how to behave around non nerdy people.. ie not talking about world of warcraft all the time.

I don’t really care for classifying people like that. However I guess I would be a nerd. (In the sense of getting straight A’s and stuff like that). But at the same time I am not a typical nerd. I workout quite a bit. I have tried buy failed to watch a full movie of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. I always find myself to busy with other stuff

Totally true. I’ve been with my nerd for nearly a decade. He’s never cussed at me, insulted me, or put me down. He’s never raised a hand to me or treated me badly in any way. I love nerds.

Edit: I opened my PHB (Kudos to all) And reread the AOO. You can Trigger and AOO in one oftwo ways. Leaving a threatened square, or performing and action wthin a threateed square.

By: GenevaGiovanni

GenevaGiovanni — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:17:38 +0000

Well, No, you don’t recieve an AOO. You don’t recieve this because the target is entering your threat range not leaving. You only get it when something is leaving the Threat Range. Unless they use something that Specifically states that you don’ set off the AOO. Yes I play DnD. 2nd ed, 3.5, and 4th ed. I prefer 3.5.

Also, I play White Wolf games as well hence the name, I only play the Larps though.

Yes, I’m a nerd. Through and through.

Hm… I collect Gundam and other mecha related items. I even have a couple Gundam model kits and some Transformers.

Heck I even plan on cosplaying at the next convention. Either that or making one of my friends wear the costume. It’s a Dom.

Hm.. I have a very focused eye and a main area of interest. Does that make me a nerd or a geek?

I know what 3.5 and such things are because of NWN though, I’ve never actually played D&D with archaic methods.

But I guess I couldn’t answer, so I don’t qualify as nerd according to the test anyway.

By: SonofMog

SonofMog — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:44:15 +0000

I do believe he was talking about the pen & paper D&D, not NWN.

As to his use of “threat range” I do believe he was talking about moving into a threatened square. And I too thought the question was bogus due to there being no feats listed.
