If a guy is a bookworm, he would probably have a positive view about your love of books.
If a guy isn't a bookworm, he would probably have a neutral or negative view about it.
I love reading and having intellectual discussions. So, I would love to have a girlfriend who is a bookworm. Also, with all your other pastimes, you seem very well rounded. You have nothing to worry about.
What that guy says isn't true. He sounds very closed minded. I'm not a big reader myself and I still find it appealing when a girl tells me she loves books. Not sure why, I suppose it's just not something that a lot of people are really big on these days, as you can tell by how that guy reacted.
At any rate, I find it endearing and you can learn a lot about somebody through looking at their book shelf. :)
Also, I don't even think it's nerdy. Not sure why so many people are saying that. It totally depends on the subject matter IMO. I don't think just reading in itself is really a nerdy quality...
That is really offensive, it's like were back in the dark ages again.
you go and read those books girlfriend...the guy who said that to is is the ONE who is boring
guys like that are called PIGS and there is nothing wrong with you
If you are not bouncing your nude breasts in his face HE thinks you have no right to exist on the planet.
Wtf lol that is so incredibly rude...Anyways I'm not a guy and not really a 'bookworm' either but I am always reading/studying for school and my boyfriend likes it. He always tells me he loves having a sexy AND intelligent girlfriend :). So you are fine.
You're boyfriend has good taste. I'm the same way, sexy and intelligent is the PERFECT combination.
your *
Not into to reading books and there is nothing wrong with reading a book just as long as you don't do it all the time. In fact you have some of the qualities I look for in a girl, which is a girl that's not afraid to go outside in the summer:) It's nice to know you're not going to be all "oh it's too hot outside to do anything!"
Not at all. I read too, and always have. Enjoying reading is definitely NOT mutually exclusive to knowing how to have fun.
Don't let one guy's narrow-minded view affect you.
Ignorance is considered masculine, still, by a few nimrods out there. Don't worry about them, they won't be reproducing much, so soon they won't be in the gene pool.
I don't mind at all to be honest lol.
I mean if I think a girl's cute, the fact that she loves to read books ain't going to change that xD
It kind of sounds like the guy wanted to try and put you down for some reason :/
Some geekyness is a very good thing in a girl.
However such normally goes hand in hand with other negative features. It doesn't automatically mean them though.,
I've dated a few nerds. It never ended well. I don't think it was so much because they liked to read, just other things about their collective personalities.
Think about it this way...What it the first thought when you enter a post office? Every time I go I instantly smell boring in the air. Unfortunately I am going to have the impression that the poor person working behind the counter has a boring life style. I'm not agreeing with the guy calling you a "boring bitch." Just make sure they have a sense of your adventurous side first. FYI I'm sure that guy is trying to get into your pants. I'd steer away from that goon lol :)
It's totally cool with me. We have something in common. You sound like a really cool girl. Pay no mind to that guy. You don't want anything to do with an a**hole like that.
Uh, Yeaah, I do mind! You should be paying attention to ME, no those dumb books!
Hmph!
I'm going out shopping with the boys.
I don't. But I'm also a literature major on the road to being an English teacher and an unpublished fiction "writer"...so I'm a bit biased.
Depends. If she's reading material that's actually interesting? Great.
Now, if her recent literary experience is limited to The Southern Vampire Mysteries, Twilight and 50 Shades, then she's a bandwagon bookworm, and those are abhorable.
i prefer a bookworm rather than some party animal.
if she reads mainly non-fiction she gets a big plus. fiction is for babies.
Don't even think about that...
Actually I have a crush right now on a beautiful bookworm girl BBG :) ... I was impressed first by her good looking but when I discovered that she is a bookworm I immediately fell in love with her...
I don't mind. I love reading.
What book's are you interested in?
Mind? It's awesome! I'd much, much rather talk to a woman who cherishes a good story and builds up her imagination and intellect than some boring child who's just into soap operas and mtv shows.
"bookworms don't know how to have fun"? books ARE fun.
