given the recent... conversation... I've started to wonder just how many of the people here have girlfriends. It would seem to me that perhaps the number of "nerds" who use this site and who have girlfriends is higher then would be reasonable given the steriotypes. Anyways on to the poll |

Define nerd. I'm not addicted to star wars, lord of the rings, or star trek (although you could call those dweebs). Star was is ok, the earlier movies, I don't particularily like star trek or LOTR. I haven't sat down and programmed for more times than I have fingers (even though I have had compsci throughout the year). I read ctrl-alt-del, applegeeks and the like, I check them every other day. I don't play video games alot, I don't own any sort of consoles, I have a 5 year old computer. My schedule is: everyday summer school in july, monday + friday swimming (I'm a bad swimmer, wanting to improve), tuesday and thursday basketball with my friends, wednesday its weights (more than usual) + anything I want to. One day of the weekend I spend working, the other day I'd probably reserve for my girlfriend. I spend most of my time on the internet reading articles, or on MSN. I use to read alot, but not anymore. Even though I don't program, I spend my time on this site because I like talking to you people, who are pretty interesting at times.  I don't spend alot of time online, maybe 1 or 2 hours really, per day. If I be a nerd, I'd say I'm a well rounded nerd, it just kinda sucks to be not especially good at anything, but ok at everything. I have a 90%~ average at school, but if I go to UW, I'd prolly be bumped up to a 93%~
I'm pretty boring, if asked what I liked, I'd say basketball, computers... having fun with friends? Yes, I do have a girlfriend and no, no pictures on the computer. (I've tried before to take pictures of a picture, it didn't work.) As for notoroge, explain? What is this, flirting? taking turns openly? Multi-dating? Or just all together  ? |

I knew I missed an option! Ahh well; I can't add it  And nerd as defined by
One or more of 1) programming a lot, showering little 2) role playing + magic + lots of games 3) describing yourself as a nerd 4) having been described as a nerd, in the last 6 months 5) anything else that I have missed which is commonly thought to be a trait that makes one a nerd. |

Social ineptitude is usually an indication that someone is a "nerd" as well (though not necessary). Paul wrote: I have a 90%~ average at school, but if I go to UW, I'd prolly be bumped up to a 93%~ Don't marks usually go down when you go to University? I mean, because everyone has 80%+ going in, but not everyone has 80%+ there. Also, Cornflake, what is a girl?  |

No, I mean when I apply, they're probably going to count it as a 93% compared with other schools. This bump-up percentage is usually taken when looking at how much better on average WCI students do in their first year at UW than the other students. As for FMA, I haven't watched in a year 
lyam, girls are those metal/plastic objects, coming and going on the "paved" roads, the best way to get to know one is jump infront of it as it is moving towards you. For the best experience, choose one that is fast moving. |

Oh baby, here I come girls!!! Now, Paul, that wasn't nice. What if I was serious? I think you'd feel bad when you read the headlines: "Adolescent killed trying to get to know car." Or you'd laugh. Probably laugh. I know I'd laugh. Hmmm... I understand what you mean about UW. Though, it doesn't really seem fair considering that all high schools in Ontario are (supposed to be) created equal. Oh well, I'm already in. |

I'd laugh... then feel bad... then laugh again. I think its because everyone I ask around me who is graduating is going to UW. I think WCI has the largest percentage of people going to UW, because we're so close, from math to arts to psychology to engineering  |

I'm not sure how 'nerdy' I am anymore. When I was in gr 8 -, well right before I had my girlfriend, which was at the end of gr.11, I would come home every day after school and play starcraft or Diablo II online. I' also hit up on Worms Armageddon, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Counter-Strike. I was also an avid N64 Freak for about 4 years with perfect dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day, and so on. But now that I have a girlfriend, and my Computer was taken from me, my DSL, and video game consoles, I'm left with a crap comp and crap net and a girlfriend. But, she has a brand new comp, DSL and . . XBOX with 3 3D shooter Games (Halo, Star Wars BattleFront, Men of Valor . . . MK Deception and so on) Let's just say her dad thinks tried to turn her into a boy, since she is an only child and he always wanted a boy. But every once in a while I'll catch my self because I get hooked on the internet while I'm staying at her house, and XBOX as well. Then that's when I get yelled at, so it's hard to get that chance anymore. But I also live with my best friend some of the time as well, and he was my right-hand man through my nerdy days, so all we do is Video Games. But Now that it's summer, I'm into Soccer and well, I'm always doing Kickboxing cuz it's a year around thing. But how can you blame me when I'm kickboxing for Team Canada [CASK] .
It's harder being a vvideo game/programmer/internet nerd with you have a girlfriend that you LIVE with . . . . but it's better this way. |

Uh... maybe it is... but in my opinion, its good to keep some distance in thoughts. I mean I like the fact that there are facets of my life that my girlfriend isn't in, and there are facets of her life that I'm not in (like being able to kick my ass with Judo). Plus... it just sounds wrong when she says "teh hax0r eh?" after I got her hooked on ctrl-alt-del, even though she has to have me explain the parts relating to games/technology. |

Eh, here's mine: <a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/notoroge/0063.jpg">  </a>(<-- Click Smilie) .. Just kidding. 
I'm not big on photos but I managed to steal a copy of all the grad pictures this year. So here's the some,
Note, none of these were "Relationships". 
Damn, I really wished I could have a relationship with this one. But she had a steady boyfriend all through High-School. Which pissed me off cause the goof failed all his classes, wasn't going to post secondary, had no sense of humour, slept through all classes, etc. Don't know what she sees in him. It's sad. Knowing her she'll probably dump him, this is probably the only girl that I would be willing to stop the madness for. She has a Grade A++ sense of humour, really intelligent, made my gut hurt a lot of times laughing. Really vulgar girl while still maintaining a sense of class, I love it.
Boy, after these confessions, aren't I glad this account isn't tied to any of my real information?
The sad thing is, she's told me she doesn't really care for him. But I become a fumbling idiot around girls I really like. Bimbos? No problem. I'm Señor Rico-Suave. Bah, c'est la vie. |

Ech... frankly I don't find any of them attractive. I find Mr. Cube's girlfriend more attractive without make up then all of those, and they're caked. But attraction is different in everyone's eyes. You may not see what she sees in him, but she sure does. Nothing is done out of trickery and deceit just to piss you off Attraction is not just intelligence, good looks, sense of humor and the typical things that you'd think its about either. Ever see a stupid average looking guy with a hot girl? I have. With matters like this, you either have it or you don't.
I know you've expressed you don't neccessarily want to get into a relationship, but when you do, you'll have lots of fun I know I've had in the last 1 year and couple of months, its a different experience all together. Many people get hooked on the "new person" feeling and never get past that, I feel bad for them  (also, nothing wrong with going after a girl with a boyfriend as long as you think you can succede, depending on their relationship)
I said in the first post, I don't have any pictures Many girls don't like having their pictures taken. If someone else other than I put a picture of myself on the internet, without any other people in the picture, I'd be kind of creeped out. |

Heh, I've got a funny story about that, but it's too offtopic for posting. The point is, I agree with Paul. I'd be freaked out if I somehow came across (or walked by a computer where somebody was viewing) some website I don't recognize and a picture of myself popped up. Though hopefully they won't ever see it. In my case, I knew the whole story so it wasn't anything to worry about. |

Anyways, none of the other-ones really matter. And half of them don't even talk to anymore. No offense to Cubecicle, but I don't. But like you say, everyone has different tastes. Kinda like how some people like Octopus or Frog's legs (ick).

Aaaaand... if she's going to find out I like her, it's going to be from me. Problem is, I'm not going to be the one to break-up a relationship, no matter how bleak it is. I wouldn't want someone doing that to me.

Paul wrote: I know you've expressed you don't neccessarily want to get into a relationship Didn't say that. Just say I haven't found anyone worth doing it for yet. And the only one person I have, is taken. [Mind you, she's made several refferences to the fact that she likes me. But I don't see her dumping him, and you already know my position on such things. So I decided to just let her be].
Paul wrote: Many people get hooked on the "new person" feeling and never get past that, I feel bad for them:cry: Ever try dating someone, just to realize that they are horrible people to be around so you just go "screw it" and go off to look for someone else? Yeah... I'm no infatuation-junkie.

see I had something similar said about me but it was more on the lines of "I went out with (name) and I dumped her and she's still crazy over me" when in truth I dumped him and I didn't even remember who he was until my friend told me he said that and the convo was like "hey, did you know that blah said this?" me: "Who's blah?" and after that my twp best friends went and beat the shit out of him and told me they did afterwards... |
