Nerds with girls

[md]

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

[Notoroge]

Missing Option,

• Girls: Yes, Girlfriend: No

But for the sake of non-argument, I'll just say "yes". Although, know my position.

[Paul]

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 ?

[md]

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.

[Paul]

I'm missing a series to hook myself on to, one step away from dweeb.

I know! I'm a Full-Metal-Alchemist-Dweeb!

Social ineptitude is usually an indication that someone is a "nerd" as well (though not necessary).

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?

[Paul]

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.

[lyam_kaskade]

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.

[Paul]

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

[Aoi]

This is soo not fair! I don't get to vote!!!!! and you're missing another option

girlfriends : Yes
wife: yes
Wives: yes

LOL

[Neo]

I would never want to have 2 wives, thats 2xThe B1tching.

[Pickles]

No.

But not because I'm a nerd, but because im fat and loud, and have low self esteem

[Martin]

Girls are the enemy.
