I felt this a little when I was in Jr. High, but I was pretty socially awkward then. Let's put it this way, I had a couple of girls ask me out then and I didn't know what to do.

Since college I haven't felt this way. As Spurge said most people in the US play some sort of game or another now days. And a lot of people bought the Wii, opening up their eyes to not thinking games are for losers.

It's really just in the media and TV shows that I hear people who play games called nerds or losers, because they think of the 30 year old who lives in their parents' basement with that being all they do.

Times have changed. It also use to be that people who spent a lot of time on a computer were nerds, now that's the norm.
