Let's play "I'm a bigger nerd than you because..."

i'm sorry about that, but that has nothing to do with being nerd... more about you being naive and clueless... and don't take this as a offence to you because everyone was, once or more, naive or clueless about someones intentions towards us.

 

BTW ontopic... i bought the Horizon Zero Dawn Collectors edition with that statue and a Star Wars PS4 when i already had one... don't know if it's enough to win but here in my street... i'm the biggest nerd...

I guess the definition of nerd changed. When I was a teenager nerds where first and foremost, socially ackward and had problems with appearance and self steem, and because of that they became loners and interested in books and RPG, video games, comic books and so on.

When I was a teen I had a huge comic collection and was very much into nerdy stuff. The reason was "those things could not hurt me like people did".

Anyways, nerds would usually have problems with girls, which I always had, and the nerdy stuff was a consequence of the social problems nerds used to have.

I guess it changed.

i only had social awkwardness until i was 10 (very shy and quiet)... after that i grew up out of my shyness and only after that was when i start to get interested in video games, PCs, technology and nerdy stuff.

i've always had girlfriends and i'm married now, and i think i'm nerdier now then i've ever been before. i've always thought of nerd, to be a person with intellectual interest/obsession with technology and fantasy, that could, very well, be paired with the lack of interest in other people and end up causing the lack of social skills, not the other way around...

i'm a nerd/geek and very social person so, you can understand why this is my point of view. i think i end up being a different kind of nerd because other then tech, fantasy and other nerdy stuff, i was always also interested in the human mind and in human behavior on subconscious level, that, i think, fuel my interest to pursue friendships, dating and other social interactions.

also, I love women, so i had to go, if i got a dump, wasn't important for me, i would have to try even if the odds were against me (did help sometimes being average looking)... always say this to myself "trying isn't hard, what's hard is to getting it" sounds better in Portuguese "tentar não custa, o que custa é conseguir"

hold on tight and hope you learned from that experience and have better luck next time.
