They just try to "fit-in" too much with society... you will find that what they say isn't actually what they feel deep down they just say that to impress all the "popular" people... it's sad really, i don't really like labels ether... i'm into star trek and people know i'm intellegent but intellegence is frowned upon in society because of all kinds of stupid political reasons... socializing is pretty much political these days... which doesn't make it fun whatsoever... people try to even sell themselves to make friends... they are just too scared of being alone so they try hard to "fit-in" with the crowed so... they call you "freak" and "creepy", i've been called "weird", "creepy", "fat", "crazy bitch", "cow" because i stopped helping people... I too only got people talking to me when they just wanted something so i stopped helping and well... they didn't like it lol, i wouldn't worry about it... because they have an IQ of a pile of slime... lol while you are here on this earth for bigger and better things/

I'm a nerd. My guy friends are definitely nerds. One guy friend I had used to do the funky chicken dance in class. As far as I know, nobody disliked him.
But there ARE nerds who definitely are creeps. Like this one time I stepped into a comic shop. There was a guy at the aisle where they kept my favourites, and he seemed scared when I stepped up; acting all shifty, squirming away and looking down. Yet he kept throwing glances at my boobs. Then when I leaned closer to grab the issue I wanted (I wasn't touching him), he just beat it. How was that for awkward?
And let's not forget those times I got ejected from online conversations and forums once they realised I was a girl. And the nerd who foamed about how real girls are all fat, ugly bitches, unlike 2D ones. And the guy acquaintance I have, who owns a dakimakura.
Sure, most nerds aren't creeps. But do nerdy creeps exist? Absolutely.
I'm in high school but i definitely saw that... some people won't even sit with them because ''they are so creepily quiet'' as if being around them will humiliate them -_- I think these people are very judgemental... I think its because they think nerdy guys don't have any interesting thing to say... also if they are quiet when you talk it gets kinda awkward as if they are uncomfortable and so i think it becomes kinda odd... i have nothing against nerdy people nor am i judging anyone :)
i dnt... i think nerds are cute... most of em anyway... im not a nerd but i've dated1... not bad... i think sumtimes its cuz they dnt kno what da hell they're tlkn about... n dnt wanna appear stupid... like me sumtimes... like my vocab. is AWFUL... n wen other people use it im like umm speak English please? but thts just me
As an actual nerd, I've experienced this behavior towards me all my life. Everyone always told me I needed to make friends and stop giving a crap about school. People would think me just sitting at a table with a group listening and not saying a word was creepy, when really I was just happy to be included and thought everyone else had something more interesting to say. People would ask if I was sad of pissed off. People would try to force me to talk and be sociable when I really didn't want to. I'm nervous being around new people and everyone considered that weird.
This thing is part of the reason I dislike being around others. They all want me to be like them and live how they think is right. I'd rather just be by myself. No one to judge me, no one to say something to.
Now in college it's the same thing again, except now I'm surrounding by other nerds in engineering majors who feel the same way. We can relate to each other and understand each other without being judged. It's quite nice.
Partly the women change, but I think you need to realize that the 'nerdy guys' often change too. They don't naturally have great social skills, but they are slowly improving as they get older and more experienced. And they tend to be anxious and low self confidence (outside of their brain) but as they leave school and get decent jobs, they start feeling more confident in -general-. Plus they tend to not be popular in school which makes them feel low status, but you graduate work in some company with other techy guys, make friends, never get bullied, buy a nice car, you're feeling better about yourself - and that comes through in how they interact with girls.
Creepy can be code for 'I'm not attracted to you hence your attraction to me is off putting'
Creepy can also mean 'you seem anxious and that makes me nervous why are you anxious are you planning to put me in a hole in the ground screaming 'it puts the lotion on its skin!'?

I think that some people associate quiet nerds and social awkwardness with mental issues and I think it is unfair. If you actually talk to them some are easy to talk to once they feel comfortable, they just don;t always like approaching other for the fear of being judged or insulted.
I'm with you! It's amazing the double standards sometimes women can get away with. They'll always bitch they can't find a nice guy, but they'll immediate label a quite, not perfect 10 guy a creep, even if that guy doesn't even know they exists. Typical.
Most girls that don't like talking to nerds is because the nerds are attracted to them and they are creepy about those emotions towards the girl. Girls feel that and in turn, think they are creepy. There's nothing wrong with being sexually attracted to a girl, but there is everything wrong with being creepy about it.
I am friends with a nerdy guy. I don't see him as nerdy because he actually has a cool personality but he does have nerdy traits. but he is a good guy and I wouldn't say he's a creep
now I admit I probably wouldn't have talked to him if I didn't meet him from work, but I wouldn't be rude either. im sure im not his type of chick either lol... but there are some creepy nerds out there. I knew one who used to sexually harass all the girls until he eventually got fired from his job, but he was a nerd too.
we call guys creepy if the won't leave us alone. like if a guy comes up to you and starts talking and you want him to go away but he doesn't have the wherewithal to understand that his presence isn't welcome- then creepI think some people (men and women) overestimate their social skills. I have a cousin with this problem. She just has no idea how to hold a conversation properly and no idea that she's annoying people. She thinks people don't like her because she's heavy, but really it's that she can't read normal social cues well and doesn't put together relevant statements very well to keep the conversation flowing. Or she talks about inappropriate topics. Or she thrusts herself into conversations she's not a part of. Super nice girl, but it's a bit like talking to a 10 year old and she's 20. As she gets older, she's been getting better, though.
They're socially awkward. I'm not saying it's right, I talk to everyone. I do find it extremely difficult to speak with "nerdy" people because they're socially awkward. It does become uncomfortable, and it's sad because I can tell that they yearn for conversation. So I talk to them, trying to hide my uneasiness.
It's just another insult, like creep, perv, slut, slag , who, tard, idiot, wussy, N_____. etc.
They say nothing about the one who gets them, a whole lot about those using them.i never call anyone creepy. i don't even think it in my head. i hear people around me say it. i don't like that comment.
I don't understand that either.
Most nerds guys are very socially awkward
Creepy = Ugly.
