Date a Geek/Nerd or Jock?

[Anonymous]

Ladies, would you rather date the nerd/geek or the jock according to the common stereotype that jocks look good but are unintelligent or nerds who are unattractive but are very intelligent?

According to your stereotype from movies...I'd probably date the nerd. Jocks can be jerks & I'd kind of get annoyed if I had to explain things to them all the time...Then there's the fact that they could be with a whole bunch of other girls at the same time & you wouldn't even know...besides the nerd is sweet & smart & more of a gentlemen. I saw this movie where a guy was considered to be a nerd & he had a crush on one of his friends but she had a crush on the jock. She wished that she would get married with this jock & flash forward into the future & she is. But turns out the "nerd" was really really cute, and what could be better than having a guy that's a gentlemen, with a brain, then having a guy who could be cheating on you right now, with no brain? Win win.

Probably the nerdy guy, because I feel like we'd have more in common. I was very athletic when I was younger, but now have almost no interest in most things sport-related. 'Jocks' tend to have a LOT more athletically-related hobbies and interests, enough to dominate their persona and social life, otherwise they wouldn't be stereotyped as jocks, lol. I just feel like we wouldn't have enough interests in common, though of course I wouldn't make that judgement concrete until I'd gotten to know them well enough to learn their interests, etc. Intellectually I think I'd have more in common with a nerdier guy, because while there is the nerd stereotype, they tend to have a more wide-ranging set of interests and hobbies.

Nerds are hot.

What you'll hear girls say: "Nerds are totally sexy! Looks don't matter that much to me anyway. I hate how cocky most jocks are."

What you'll see girls actually do: Friendzone the geek/nerd and have wild sex with the jock.

But hey, why believe what you see. . .

These answers crack me up!

When I was in school I had a crush on a nerdy guy, but he was attractive and not an outcast or anything. he was just really clean cut, nice and made excellent grades. so he was called nerdy by some people, but he wasn't unappealing.

given the 2 very extreme choices you made in your question, I'd honestly pick the jock that looked good. sorry but it's not like I'm gonna bond with a guy over our shared love of trigonometry.

I think you're taking the 'nerd' & 'jock' stereotypes way out of proportion. I know many smart guys who are very attractive, and many athletically talented guys who are unattractive.

Now then, you're asking the cliche question, "Brains or Beauty"? I can tell you that I'd rather have an intelligent man over a ripped athlete. Intelligence, in my opinion, is extremely sexy.

Are you kidding? I don't know a single girl who'd go for the jock and actually I plan on asking out the biggest geek I know tonight! What can I say- his thick glasses and granddad sweaters are hot!

That's not all true all of them can be cute or sexy. I know I would end up being the nerd dating a jock only because that's what I like out of any guy and I think they usually have a sweet side.

I said, "according to the common stereotype."

[gummybear888]

I've dated both but usually I go for an average guy so he isnt' too extreme in one way or the other.

[kmhco]

I'd choose the geek/nerd...I'm actually dating one now

[selfishstars]
