this is why i only fall for gay guys, because i just can´t make an exception on any of these things.
Dang! I submitted the same graph except that smart+handsome = gay and smart + handsome + nice doesn’t exist. No room for assholes…
You forgot ‘Married’ and ‘Priest’.
Smart and handsome men that are married are still usually assholes. Sorry guys, but you know I’m right.
Is there a graph that shows the stupid guys women pick? Probably not, but you women make some Sh**** choices in men and then complain about how all are horrible
My bad for not looking like Fabio, have fun being alone with your cats.
OUCH!!that hurt.but is the truth
And this graph is not 100% the truth,its just for fun
Yah, as funny as this is (and i know its meant to be funny) I feel its mean to reject some1 cause thyre a nerdd
its happend 2 me. doesnt feel good
Yeah, I love how “nerd” is the opposite of “handsome”…
If “handsome” was replaced by “popular” this would be accurate. Girls can have nice, smart, handsome guys — but what would their FRIENDS think?!!
Yeah As long as they arn’t and uber nerd.
You’re my homie
fabio is fudging ugly, whats wrong with you?
seriously. Fabio is so ugly
You really couldn’t pick anyone better than Fabio?
Brad Pitt!!!!! Yum-O
LMAO! Have you seen Brad Pitt lately? He looks like a homeless man with a gutter-slut attached to his arm.
Hmm… I’d have to say David Tennant!
D
professor oak!
YESSS!!!!
This wouldn’t be you, by any chance, would it?
http://xkcd.com/513/
This is a redo of this graph:
http://graphjam.com/2009/09/03/song-chart-memes-girl-paradox/
So… yeah, there is a graph about the “stupid guys women pick,” and it came first.
Have you seen the girl paradox? It’s
the same thing for guys.
screw fabio,i’d rather ronnie radke/max green
what about handsome nerds?
they are there:
married=dumb
gay=priest
Yeah… that’s why.
Please see my comment on gay guys in
The girl paradox. plus where do gay guys put women
on the marriage if they only love men?
you go kelly. see if you can ungay them on you next date.
“Asshole” and “Dumb” are bad, and I’m sure you put those there because you wouldn’t want an asshole or dumb person. But why is “Nerd” there in the same context? Nerd isn’t bad (in fact, many people like nerdy people). Also “Gay” isn’t bad (even though it’s supposed to be the sum of 3 “bad” things). Gay people are extremely nice to hang out with, being a girl that is.
Actually, within this context, “gay” is the sum of “handsome boy,” “nice boy,” and “smart boy.” I also find it interesting that you say, “Gay people are extremely nice to hang out with, being a girl that is.” Is this to imply that all gay people are gay men, and that’s why you enjoy their company being a girl that you are? In my experience, gay people can also be women. Would you not think gay women are extremely nice to hang out with, since you’re a girl? Or, are you saying that no male person would have a nice time haning out with a gay person, whether they were a gay man or a gay woman? Any of these interpretations leave me baffled to say the least.
The graph title specifically says BOY paradox. It is not applicable to girls. I can see where you do not fall in the above graph.
Point taken, but I still don’t understand her logic.
ooooh, yeah.
and you can’t even imagine!
LMAO
pwn.
Circuitous argument win!
from my personal experience (as a straight guy):
Gay men: ok to hang out with, good fashion sense, usually have hot girl-friends wth them, annoying when they think you’re just in the closet and you get over 30 texts from him trying to hook up with you.
Lesbian women: Fun to hang out with, it gets rid of the stress if having to deal with politness of women you’re trying to get with. **GREAT** wingmen at bars (to be honest I was her wingman, but it was still good times), ok for opinions on how to handle women but what they would do often directly conflicts what I would do.
See, you and me? We could hang.
yayness
Hah i litterally lawled at that one. XD.
What if they already flame more than a bonfire?
Says you. I like my guys a little dumb, that way I can outsmart them.
Me too! Usually, guys who are smarter than me are assholes who like to look like they’re better than everyone. That’s why I prefer my noys a bit dumb, I think it’s kinda cute
If I were a female, I’m sure I’d be ticked off by the fact that all the smart, nice and handsome guys are gay.
I know. And now i’m in the awkward state of having to go tell a few friends of mine that, contrary to their lifestyle and personal opinions, they have the gay.
Lets just hope its not a “shoot the messanger” kind of thing.
Gay is a choice, not a gene trait. You ain’t born with it, so you only have yourself to blame if ur gay.
I believe you misunderstand the graph and that is why it is not funny to you.
It’s not saying that all of those things are bad. You’re supposed to look at it from a single, straight, female’s perspective. When looking at the pool of eligible males, if the guy in question is handsome and nice, he’s usually dumb. If the guy is handsome and smart then he’s usually an asshole. If the guy is smart and nice then he’s usually a nerd. If you actually find a guy that’s handsome, nice AND smart, he winds up being gay.
In other words, there’s no such creature as the Manicorn.
According to this, my fiance should be gay. =3
Yeah, right. Ask your friends.
Whatever.
You are still implying that being a nerd is a BAD thing.
To many many many many women it is not. Perhaps butt-ass-ugly is a better entry for that spot… because my nerd is smart, nice, hot and NOT gay.
It’s all about perspective really. Apparently, the maker of this Venn Diagram isn’t attracted to nerds. Or maybe she is mentally, but she can’t find any who she finds physically attractive. Still doesn’t mean she thinks to be a nerd is a bad thing. Just like being dumb or being an asshole isn’t necessarilly going to be a bad thing all the time. Even dumb people have expertise in something, usually. And assholes sometimes are better at getting important things taken care of. As for a guy with all listed attributes being gay, that still isn’t a bad thing, just not suitable for what she is looking for. She doesn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who isn’t even attracted to her same sex. Wow, I can’t believe I had to break it down this much.
I appreciate you giving the benifit of the doubt to the dumb & gay guys, because they can be cool dudes, assholes, well I don’t know about “getting important things done” but being an asshole as your chosen path in life is, and always shall be, a bad thing. I think the creator of this Venn diagram had no other intent than to pick the worst male archetypes she could think of for a girl to date and post them as a response to the asshole graph. But you are sweet Devylan to give the diagram maker, and everyone represented on the graph warm fuzzies.
Yeah, well, I am inclined to be attracted to assholes, but then again, I think everyone can be an asshole from time to time, myself included. My husband is the sweetest man on earth as far as I’m concerned, but even he is an asshole. Lol. As for getting things done, I guess I kind of abide by this bit of advice that I got from my mom once, and that is this: When you’re under 30, you have to be a bit of a b*tch to get any respect when dealing with business deals and the like. Of course, I am a woman under 30 and not a man, but I tend to think that men under 30 don’t get a whole lot of respect from their elders either, so that’s what I was really referring to there. Also, thanks for thinking I’m sweet. That’s the perfect cover, don’t you think? Lol.
heh, We all have to stand our ground from time to time and be unpopular with our peers in order to remain true to ourselves. That’s not being an asshole, that’s having a spine. I take asshole in the context of one that goes out of their way and takes pleasure in making other people miserable as much as possible
Yes, that would be the true definition, I agree, but I’ve come across a lot of people who think the former to be an asshole.
I’m handsome, smart, and nice. And I’m just a Geek. I’m not gay.
OR conceited, right?
Bah. I think conceited is only thrown around when someone’s envious of anothers self esteem or postive appraisal of one’s assets.
Maybe thats just me.
But i mean, i call it like i see it.
No, “Gay” is supposed to be the sum of three good things (nice, smart, and handsome) and the other ‘bad’ things are the guy just lacking one of the ‘good’ things…
Although, if you’re a girl looking to date a guy, which is what this graph seems to be all about, ‘gay’ isn’t bad, just a big problem.
too true, glad i’m a nerd.
I’m glad I’ve always had a thing for dating nerds/geeks. Handsomeness is overrated; guys that know they are attractive tend to end up being jerks.
I raise my hand as a proud member of the nerd group.
ftw
ftw, agreed! (girls with 20/15 vision can totally be nerds too)
amen, brothers. can i hear a hallelujah!
hallelujah!
Conformist win.
This diagram goes directly against my beliefs. I’m a nerd, I pretty much only like nerdy guys, and as soon as I find out a guy is a nerd, he becomes much more handsome in my eyes.
Nerds rule.
YAY US!
Makes me sad that nerds are being lumped in with the dumb assholes.
Hey you nerds! Get out of the dumb-asshole group, dammit! We’ve got our standards.
We don’t know what they are, but we’ve got ‘em. Somewhere. Somewhere around here, I think…wait…uh…
*high fives*
We left em at Blizzcon after seeing Ozzy fail @ life. XD
I’m more upset over the fact that Nerds are left entirely out of the Handsome boy criteria. But yeah, being the 3rd section on the axis of dating evil is definitely not where Nerds belong.
Exactly, implying nerds are ugly is beyond incorrect. My fiance is a HUGE nerd… hes also a U.S. Marine and hot as all hell…. but he IS a nerd.
He would rather sit at home watching stargate and old star trek reruns than go to work.
Who wouldn’t prefer that to work, though?
Dumb guys and assholes maybe? I know people who’d never in their life come anywhere near anything Star Trek.
Yeah, I guess, watching Star Trek might make them nerds, and then people will see that on their nerd detector and laugh at them in the street. Better to stick to sports, like a REAL MAN!
I guess a real man is only defined by the sport he plays nowadays. What is a fake man then?
Men who dance instead of kicking/punching somebody. Arnold doesn’t dance, he can barely walk!
Hey now! The Roger Rabbit and the Running Man are the 2 manliest dances in the world! See Running Man even has Man right in the name of the dance! Harumph!
Throw in some cabbage patch and we’ve got ourselves a montage.
ooii ooii
Hmm… I’m a rugby-playing nerd.
understanding fail
Lmao.
Highfive for lovin’ boobies.
Up top, sir.
uhh… not all gay men are handsome… trust me.
Yaaay, another failure to comprehend graphs.
And there are lots and lots of gay guys who are handsome, smart and seriously NOT NICE. Trust me, I’ve met them.
The graph does not say that all gay men are nice, smart and handsome. The graph is not about gay men. It’s about the single men that girls typically meet.
I think the graph means to say that whenever she finds a boy who seems to be smart, handsome and nice they turn out to be gay.
But yeah… I’ve certainly been hit on by some ugly gay men as well.
I would like to think that I’m nice, smart and handsome… but I’m also gay as the graph says =P
.-. Go figure. A Zach and he is gay, big surprise there. <.<
Though, I have met more gay Alex's and Joey's than gay or bi Zach's or Zack's.
BTW. Hi, my name is Zachary… I am gay. -.-
*high-fives*
Effing WIN response to this:
http://graphjam.com/2009/09/03/song-chart-memes-girl-paradox/
Thanks be to the gods that someone else saw this and thought EPIC WIN. Great response to a funny graph….
It’s sad that most of the people who will come in to defend their nerdy status will miss that this graph is a direct reply to that one. This one could have been done more truthfully and without insulting so many groups of people, but the same could be said of the other graph. But of course, people will fall all over themselves to defend nerdiness whereas misogyny gets kind of a free pass.
You want someone to defend misogyny? I’m sorry I won’t be a party to that. I think most of us can agree that the other graph is lame but it did give us the opportunity to use the word “asshole” a hilarious amount of times.
I didn’t mean defend misogyny : p I meant that the other chart was misogynistic, but when people are misogynistic, people are less apt to get irked by it than they are about being called a nerd or by denigration of nerd culture.
I salute you for your keen observation.
He won’t be gay any longer if you
make him an offer he can’t refuse *winkwink*
How does this fit in the context of the conversation?
You and your questions, oh ever present Devylan. I think from now on I shall refer to girls who do this as fart faced females.
Don’t take it to seriously. How come we always seem to clash on these issues, Devylan?
-______- Somebody punch this person.
Sweetie, if a “gay” guy would do anything with a girl that goes against the point of being GAY, than its called being “bisexual”.
BTW. (sarcasm) Good job staying with topic of replies.
Yeah well whatever. I say that if the Bible says being gay is wrong, that’s enough for me. And by the the way my comment was referring to ungaying men by showing them how wonderful women are. What’s your problem with that? do they quit being handsome if they ain’t gay? (Alternatively, this graph could say “not available” instead of “gay”.)
FART FACE!!!!
PUNCH ME!?? EHW2 IS AWAKENED. THIS GIRL DOESN’T SEE THE POINT. THE POINT IS TO HELP HIM TOWARDS NOT BEING GAY.
Obviously, misogyny is far from okay.
However, I’m more likely to say something about denigration of nerd culture, because I am a nerd.
As far as misogyny is concerned, I know a man who qualifies as an out and out misogynist. He tends to think that all women are horrible just because he was hurt by a few. He was hurt mostly because he’s too clueless to get the signal of “I like you, but that doesn’t mean I’m desperate to sleep with you.” So, he spouts venom and bile that I won’t soil this place by repeating. I don’t give him an audience or even tell him he’s wrong. I just simply tend to ignore fools. The more important you make them feel, the more they say. So, get irked. Get pissed. Get enraged. Just don’t make the warped mind of the misogynist who is upsetting you believe that you’re giving them any attention. Then again, there are exceptions to that rule. The internet is not one of them.
I just sort of ignored the girl one because it falls into the stereotypical “I’m too nice, no one will date me! D:” trope and if I didn’t ignore that when I saw it I’d be complaining all day. On this one I’m not even defending nerdiness, just wondering why it’s the opposite of handsome when it’s a personality/state of mind trait.
Yeah, but the one about females is true!!!
I just have to wonder why people want to show off how prejudiced and ignorant they are. Oh yeah… it anonymous. Never mind.
You say “nerd” like it’s a bad thing… I am quite content with my nerdy hubby–he fixes my computer when it’s broken and fills my ipod with music. I <3 nerds!
I would fix my own computer if it ever needed fixing, and I fill my own iPods. What I want is a smart, nice boy (handsome is very subjective), who understands that I don’t need his help with power tools or solder, and that the remote control in my place is mine.
I had to reply to that because, you see, I consider myself somewhat of a nerd (I mean, I develop video games for a living, I wouldn’t be honest if I said I’m not a nerd).
but when you say you don’t need power tools… well… you’re just wrong
Lili said she doesn’t need HELP with power tools. Everyone needs power tools. That’s just a fact of life.
Especially when you build your own servers.
ooh, my bad.
Thank you, Kat, for point out my mistake.
sorry about that, Lili.
just to complement on that, (I don’t want to speak on behalf of all men, but I’ll speak for myself, understanding that this might apply to a large group of men) sometimes a man will “help” a girl with power tools not because he thinks that the girl NEEDS help, but just because I love my power tools and I’ll use any excuse to use them.
I mean, he.
He will use any excuse.
To use the power tools, that is.
Not necessarily me.
You know, Lili, I have to agree with you.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some nerds (as long as they maintain proper hygiene), but the ones that don’t know me do have the tendency to get a little condescending.
The other day, I made a comment about Batman (who I’m a total geek for) and a “nerd” in my Basics of Performance class proceeded to try to tell me Bruce Wayne’s backstory as if I had no clue! I was like, “First of all, I KNOW Bruce Wayne’s backstory. I’ve read every Batman graphic novel that’s ever been released (more or less). Second of all, why would you assume other wise? Because I actually put some effort into my looks and have figured out how to use my shower?” (That last part is not an attack on all nerds, just this one in particular smells really bad….)
lol!
If you’re gay, just replace the center section with “straight” and there you pretty much have it. At least in my experience.
Sad but true.
Very true…I have yet to meet any attractive gay man who is nice.
Hear hear. Your experiences are not alone.
You say “asshole” like it’s a bad thing…I am quite content with being an asshole. I haven’t alienated any of the people I like, girls are quite taken with me, and I am very effecient at my job. Other than that, I don’t particularly care.
I bet you are homo really
This graph and the “Girl Paradox” graph demonstrates that old saying: “Nice guys finish last”.
“demonstrate”, I mean.
I guess its a good thing that I am not handsome…
this.
Is sparta? LOL.
and nice graph comprehension fail a.
25 years ago, I hung out with a nice, smart, and handsome gay male. I was a total fail with the women that were attracted to him. Likewise, he had no luck with the gay males that were attracted to me.
Despite being in my twenties at the time, whenever I was near someone I found very attractive, my social skill dropped to that of an antisocial 13 year old. In other words, I would become an asshole. My gay friend had the corresponding issue.
Since we were attracted to very different people, whoever was unaffected kept a clear head. This meant that we could observe each other’s asshole transformation and report on it later when both of our minds were clear. However we remained powerless to do anything about our asshole-ness during the asshole phase.
Note that I am using “asshole” in the sense of this graph, not in the sense of the Girl Paradox graph. The Girl Paradox graph would have us believe that acting like an asshole would help us date smart, hot, nice women. It did not.
Asshole transformation…lol!
that works with cats too. If you want to play with them, you spook them, and if you want them to leave you the f*** alone, they meow outside yer goddamn door at 3 in the morning until you let them in.
And then they walk all over your face and chest, purring loudly with their claws out and SOMEHOW finding a way to step directly and REPEATEDLY on your testicles and the only reason you don’t throw them outside again is because the last tiny scrap of your mind that’s still conscious is somehow telling you that this crap is really cute and if it weren’t THREE IN THE GODDAMN MORNING you’d be having a great time.
whoa… uh… hi. um… sidetracked…
Hehe, that was a cute mental picture, despite how horrible it must have been for you.
Wow, Devylan. That completely shattered my mental pic of you. You sort of sound like Lilith (see “Frasier”), so that’s how I picture you. By the way I know my “completely” is probably mispelled, so don’t point that out please.
I lmao’d IRL on that one…i share your pain.
My experiences exactly, except the testicle part. My cats love ‘em some boob stompage.
I agree. still love em though
You and I could also hang.
as a gay man, I approve strongly
OH Yeah? I declare you all RAINBOW STEALERS!!!!
Ya know, because you made the rainbow associated with homosexualality. I have a rainbow polo shirt, and I’m proud of it.
ANSWER DARNIT!
Gurls r screwed
However, if the guy is handsome, smart and nice, we really won’t be!
Notice how “Ugly” isn’t included in there?
Where’s ugly? Let’s switch nerd for ugly like in the girl paradox.
Because “ugly” is something you can’t control. It would be cruel to consider something that one has no control over a flaw.
“It would be cruel to consider something that one has no control over a flaw.”
And that’s why the world, unfortunately, could therefore be considered very, very cruel.
Unfortunately agreed.
you can control ugly just as much as you can control dumb.
its insulting to insinuate that nerds are not attractive, my nerd is hot!!
You’d better get on the bandwagon that thinks nerdy boys are cute. Then everyone wins!
Protest. Too much.
Unless I am reading this wrong every gay boy is handsome, smart, and nice. Experience tends to disagree. Gay boys seem to have the same chance of being assholes, nerds, or dumb as regular boys. Although they do seem to have a greater chance of being well groomed and/or flamboyant.
you are reading it wrong. Wikiepdia venn diagrams or something….
It just says when a guy is handsome smart and nice he is gay not that when a guy is gay he is handsome smart and nice.
This graph works better the general categories (Smart, Nice, Handsome) represent how a guy thinks of himself.
That leaves open the possibility of a handsome nerd or an ugly asshole.
It’s not fair, I’m not represented there…
Where is none of the above?
Hey, what’s wrong with nerds? We’re just as good as anyone else.
And no, I’m not talking about WoW nerds. Those guys just suck anyway.
Oh god, WoW about destroyed my life. Thank god my hubby got me to quit.
I would kick my nerds rear end if he tried playing WoW. Luckily even he thinks its stupid.
Ignorant comment ftw. God i play an MMO therefore i now “suck”. And on a side note, you brought up the “WoW Nerds thing unprovoked. Is there a reason for this?
My BF and I are both WoW nerds.
Boo! I love my WoW nerds…
they do! ever since i started playing WoW (which i started cause my BF at the time wanted to spend more time together lol!) but ever since ive noticed ive dated other WoW players, or if my BF didnt play, he would eventually. its not like i need my bf to play WoW, but i like a man who knows his way around a keyboard or controller. its a turn on for me. haha ohh nerd love <3
but once i find a man who can kick my ass in Fable or Fallout im saying goodbye to WoW im lookin for a ring
I find some flaws with this…
Nerd? Um…okay. What’s your point? It’s not like being a nerd is a character flaw.
Btw: w00t! If there’s a girl paradox graph, there should indeed be a boy paradox.
Let’s hear it for gender equality, everyone!
Also, just FYI, I’m a guy.
No, just because there’s a stupid, shallow and generalizing graph about women doesn’t mean there should be one about men, just like men shouldn’t have to use a bunch of stupid beauty products because women do.
Gender quality is not an end in itself; it’s only good if the changes leading to equality are positive, rather than everyone being equally miserable.
That’ what I came here to say. It’s great that both genders are bashing each other and everyone gets to be equally criticized, [sarcasm] although this one doesn’t smack of misandry the way the girl one was full of misogyny.
Depends on the kind of nerd. My boyfriend’s a huge nerd, but he’s also a socially aware and considerate person, which is exactly the kind of guy I’m attracted to. However, some nerds are socially inept, touchy-feely in ways that make girls uncomfortable, condescending or misogynistic, or just difficult people to maintain functional relationships with. I’m friends with several of these kinds of nerds, but men who can’t evolve beyond thinking of women as simplistic creatures who are a completely different species will forever be doomed to the Friend Zone.
It is for superficial women.
Since when is nerd the opposite of handsome? Shouldn’t that be ugly?
Exactly!
But you are an asshole.
Oh, wait, you already said you were. Ignore the above comment, then.
Reading competency fail
I get it! In response to the terrible “Girl Paradox” graph, you’ve made something just as terrible but about the other half of the population. Hooray for equal-opportunity crappiness!
Hey, at least we have equal-opportunities. Lawl.
It’s true, nerds are wonderful, and not all gay guys are nice. A gay guy tried to kill me by running me off the road once. Another gay guy told him to do it. A third gay guy was in the passenger seat, flipping me off. It was an unpleasant experience. But I’m just glad someone made this graph in response to the “Girl Paradox” graph, which was extremely offensive. Thumbs up.
Holy s@#t! I am cracking up over this one……care not about the entrails of it all……same goes for the girl one previously……hilarious!
BUAHAHAAHAAHHHAA. K, I’m done. *redden*
I love and agree with this.
As an asshole (according to this diagram), I would like to thank the women of the world for choosing “asshole” over “nerd” or “dumb” 75% of the time after they find out that Mr. X is gay.
You all complain about it, but you still stimulate my genitalia eagerly and often.
And for that, I am indebted to you.
Nobody wants to be anywhere near your genetalia.
He’s talking about the female crabs he has on his genitalia.
Sooooo……
66% of guys are one of the three and not Gay, dumb, asshole, nerds?
and i love my nerd. ^__^
if only this were true…
Yeah.
And?
I like nerds, and “not unreasonably hot” doesn’t mean “auto-uggo” :I
Awesome! Win! Love it.
B-but… my BF isn’t gay!
Ever checked his porn browsing history?
OMG, this graph really wasn’t that funny until I looked through the comments and figured out just how many people cannot figure out a circle graph. I mean, really? Did you miss that day in 3rd grade or what?
Was that the day before or the day after they taught us how the graph above is a Venn Diagram and that a circle graph is also known as a pie chart?
ROFLSTOMPED.
Get some lmao.
Omg, I cannot believe I did that! Lol. That’s what I get for pulling 2 all-nighters in a row….
Go for the nerds. All those girls who rejected a teenage Bill Gates are kicking themselves right now.
But if a nerd is with a girl, he isn’t focusing on the things that eventually put him on top.
Yup, and how about the girls who got rejected by a teenage Bill Gates?
Like when a teenage girl tried to attract a teenage Bill Gates, failed at flirting because she spent more time reading computer programming guides than fashion magazine how-to-flirt articles, got rejected by a teenage Bill Gates (like he never asked her out and said no if she asked him out), and meanwhile never said no to guys asking her out because no guys ever asked her out?
HAH! I married super-smart and super-nice, and — while somewhat geeky — cute enough that women sidle up to me at parties and murmur “Your husband’s cute!” Yeah, like I hadn’t noticed…
I love me some nerdy boys! I met an ex at a comic book panel at the CU Conference on World Affairs and my current man and I met on a message board. He was moving here to go to school for video production anyway so we went out a couple times and fell head over heels! Now that I’m off the market though I can only look at nerds and be friends with them. A couple cute nerd friends of mine are successful DJs (there’s no such thing as a non-nerdy DJ) and one even has a collection of action figures on his mantel.
yeah pretty much. this happens to me all the time. i meet the perfect guy. and then i meet his boyfriend. *sigh*………
If you replace the word Nerd with Rich, your paradox unravels.
Wait… what if I’m only smart, nice but still gay? Does that mean I’m handsome without realizing it?
This implies that handsome and nerd are mutually exclusive… idk ’bout that
Okay, what happens if you’re both a nerd AND gay, because I’ve certainly met some of those, and probably qualify, myself. Does that mean I’m slightly less handsome than the non-nerdy gay guys? O_o?
So the center is basically the same as “only dates douchebags”, as per the girl equivalent.
So dumb people can’t be smart, assholes can’t be nice and…
Nerds can’t be handsome.
Proof positive.. Marry the nerds.
“handsome” can be changed. Stupid and asshole? not so much.
hear hear!
Smart+Nice=Nerd
I guess most would agree. But is “nerd” supposed to be a bad thing? Seriously? You have a combination of smart and nice, and just because most of them would be called nerds, they’re not good enough? I guess it’s because you’re looking for something else than smart and nice. As usual.
I don’t agree. Being smart and nice doesn’t make you a nerd, and all nerds are nice, or smart. Nerds are just obsessive over things to beyond the point of social acceptance and practical concerns.
A smart and nice person might not take things too seriously or obsess over minutia, and video game communities are full of stupid and unpleasant nerds who call everyone a noob and type like retards because they take the game way too seriously and are, well, stupid.
I’m not gay!
How subjective of you.
We could hang. ^_^
Yay!
Are you gay? I think you picked up Devylan.
Incredible… I have a boyfriend that is sweet, smart, handsome, nerdy, a jerk and he humps everything… And he’s not gay!
(Well, I’m a nerd, jerk and I hump everything too…)
Way to alienate your target audience by lumping nerds with assholes. Who do you think reads Graph Jam?
Win! xD
I believe this is in answer to the “Girl Paradox” graph that was posted a few days ago. I didn’t see all you guys complaining on the board for that one..

Turn about is fair play!
Scroll up!
good thing I prefer nerds. I get the best of all!
That’s why i’m proud to be a nerdfighter
HAHAHAHA win.
I <3 my nerd though.
Everyone knows it’s totally true.
All the handsome men really ARE gay.
Look at the facts.
Jason Orange (supposedly…), John Barrowman, some dude at my old school…
ooooh John Barrowman….now If I ever wanted to be a man…he’s the reason why!
OMG… I’m gay…..
hmm my husband falls under asshole and nerd…..hes handsome, smart, nice (sometimes) and asshole (alot) so is he in limbo or a freak of nature? lmao or is he not applicable because hes a husband lol
Oh I’ve known several really, really dumb gay guys. This isn’t a paradox, it’s social profiling.
Everyone loves their geek. They even have t-shirts to say it. Once you go geek, you never.. uh.. regress.
As for handsomeness, you’d be amazed how far a quick infusion of hygeine and fashion sense can get you.
Fashion sense = fail.
Get a Man. Stop messing with Boys.
Smart + Handsome = Asshole? In what world are assholes (Or most guys) EVER smart? I think people who make these “paradox graphs fail to realize that people are far too complicated to be filed under such vague terms, and its insulting to everyone.
To confuse you further: I am not gay but I don’t love boobies.
not even your own?
I don’t have boobies, so the question is invalid.
everyone has boobies! Of course dudes call them Pecs, If you are human and have nipples, you have some type of boobies.
That is not how I define boobies.
definitely not boobies.
Man-boobies are still boobies
^agree.
so ridiculously true…
Wasn’t there another graph almost exactly like this one? At least, the point of it was the same.
I’ve decided in response to this graphjam…i’m making a The Cat Paradox, featuring the positive and negative traits of a cat and in the middle the “perfect cat”. Now all i need is about 20 intelligent people, 40 people who disagree with everything, and about 200 trolls/flamers. Any takers? XD
Actually, if you look, this graph has maybe twenty intelligent comments by five intelligent people…
I’ll take a ‘disagree with everything’ role. I have twelve cats, so something on your graph is bound to piss me off.
My mom thinks I’m handsome, smart and nice.
Does my mom think I’m gay??
sorry, but this was probably made by some girl who follows stereotypes of sex and doesn’t really know any guys exept all the jerks. probably a **tchy girl
so this is what ugly girls tell themselves when they get rejected.
I’m a nerd and I represent this statement
I’m married to a handsome, smart, nice boy who isn’t gay! Nevertheless, the graph is funny!
this is simply not true…I am a nice handsome smart boy and I am none of those things up there…I guess you might call someone like me the perfect guy…I really don’t care what you have to say in rebuttle to this…I just wanted everyone out there to know that there are good guys out there
I always thought girls love guys who had a little feminine face. Is it rite girls?
ahahaha, I love how they all complain about this one, oh noooooes, it’s OK to do it to women but not to men.
I like nerds, but I like handsome nerds, unfortunately it is not very common…
What??? all hansom Nerds are Gay, woot , that makes things easiser
…there’s a problem with unintelligent gay nerds?
theres no such thing as an unintelligent nerd >_>…
So, now I know why…..Gosh, I had to live to the ripe old age of 50 to find this out! Thanx for telling me finally, now go get me a gay man to spend the rest of my life with, I will forfeit the sex…(I am a woman…:)))
Haha is this supposed to be the womens revenge for the woman chart? Funny that they got it wrong, the chart implies that all smart, nice and handsome men are gay. That is in real life the ‘friend zone’ where women place men with those admirable qualities because they are too busy chasing assholes to realize what a good spouse the afformentioned men would make.
I think its because they automatically assume them to be gay or they feel like they wouldn’t be good enough for those guys. Lol, no. The real reason: nice guys are not in the masculine or the idea of how a man is which has been trained into our minds by the media’s portraying of men to be as such. Assholes seem more like a man should to girls. IDK why, its pathetic I know and that is why relationship after relationship fail.
i love nerds x]
that’s so much true…i am dying to have a guy with me… but it turn’s out that all my friends are gay.
So true
man u people have such a neg. outlook on men. I got me a guy who’s nice and handsome and smart.
… A lot of guys start out that way. That’s why divorce is so popular. <_<
I’m handsome+gay+smart+nice
So basically what this says is that if gays are dumb nerdy assholes, yes?
no, it says exactly the opposite. it surprseisme if you dont know how to read this type of chart
sorry, stray word…
So basically what this says is that gays are dumb nerdy assholes, yes?
No, it says that if you fall in none of the categories of nice, smart, or handsome you are a complete fail. An example of a complete fail is in the mirror, go see who it is. -___-
ups.. guess i’m gay..
Date the nerd
Nerds are awesome
No more getting upset that it LOOKS like it is says nerd is a bad thing. It doesn’t mean it that way. It says nerd but it means the old stereotype of a nerd which was like geek (duh). One who is intelligent but is SOCIALLY AWKWARD and usually corrects people and etc. etc. not the idea that everyone views it to be today. Bad word choice I must admit though. Should have said Annoying. .-.
Yeah unless you are a gay guy yourself. Most of the guys I find attractive are in fact straight.
this is true. Thx:)
This is good. Interestingly, about half of all nerds out there would also be handsome if they had a gay friend to help them with choosing clothes, hairstyles, and as a workout partner.
I RESENT THAT! I happen to be all three outer sections, according to (most) others
i would accept this as an accurate graph of women’s projection of men universally and only an actual depiction of men particular to some cases
=P
I’m getting married to a guy who is smart, handsome, and nice, and he’s not an asshole (that I know of)
I meant he’s not gay. Duh moment for me.
Hey, I like nerdy guys! (Probably because I’m a nerdy girl; and I don’t know heck about sports, but I can carry on a conversation for ages about D&D, comics, and anime.) And for me, although I appreciate nice-looking guys, what I care more about with their body is how their voice sounds.
great job whoever made this. disturbingly accurate.
put a small circle outside the venn-diagram titled ‘great but i’ll never talk to them’
Become a quality girl and you’ll find a quality guy
thing is, im all those things but im not gay. And im not being bots, i am all those things to a degree except for the nice boy 1 which i am alot of but i always get f***ed over but im still straight
Nice – I like those odds! If only it were true.
Glad I fall into the center of this graph.
OMG the gay one is so true….all the good ones are gay
*psst…go for the nerd…*
hmm whish it was that way
Yet statistikally I found men + assholes to be 100% overlap…
I’m a nerdy gay asshole, but when I’m nice I’m very nice. People tell me (and I like to think) that I’m a good-looking guy. Do I even fit on this graph anywhere? Is there, like, a weird-shaped elite gay polygon within the gay section that overlaps other sections?
gimmi a couple days and ill figure this out for you
might be in the form of a graph
impossible. you should narrow down your choices (“elite-gay-polygon-nerdy-nice-asshole”? really?)
I didn’t intend “polygon” as one of the choices, silly.
But ahh well. You tried, and that’s what counts, right?
YAAAAAAYY FOR VIDEO GAMES YAAAAAAYY!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, it’s’ true in some parts.
I don’t believe in the boy paradox, but I do believe in the girl paradox.
Women are culturally raised to believe hot = stupid.
So even hot and smart women act stupid to fit the stereotype.
This “boy paradox” was just done in response by angry lesbians.
u kno, for a gay this is a win
ha ya know wat most true-i have an iq of 163 am a leader of kindergarten children at my church- i’ve bin called gay many times – am i? no i have bin to three high xuls due to the system in my country an am proud to say i dated the HOTTEST GIRLS at each one of them i’m currently dating a bodacious 19 year old at my xul-i’m 16- i play for the basketball team though mostly as a substitute player
oh yeah
president of debate society
Hey, I’m nice, hansome, smart AND I have a girlfriend!
*SIGH*
This is not a GRAPH. It is a Venn Diagram, which is used as a visual representation in set theory:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram
So that’s why I am always mistaken to be gay.
haha. funny !!
You totally forgot “Funny boy” … That, I was told, is one of the most important things for a girl if she considers dating a boy…
So this is why people always think I’m gay
im all 3 of these, straight… and taken. u jelly?
This graph makes the assumption that none of these guys are not desireable… I LOVE nerdy guys!
If they aren’t gay they are probably TAKEN meaning this is about SINGLE men. Plus, some of the guys that have those qualities are like relationship retarded and have no clue what to do. DX
Hell yeah for lovin’ the nerdy guys.
Somethin’ about a skinny white guy just gets me all fluttery.
Up top, fellow nerd-lover.
