Are you attracted to nerds?

Question

inhua · Accepted Answer

it depends on how much the Halo Effect and Devil Effect applies to the individual

nobody is attracted to the stereotypical nerd with the ugly appearance, bad outfits, bad jokes, childish hobbies etc. when describing a stereotypical, people will often describe a dork, geek, dweeb, incel, gamer, loser etc. and other negative qualities

sure if the nerd looks like Henry Cavill or Connor Murphy, then that's a yes but they don't look like stereotypical nerds, they're just nerdy Chads

fun fact, a lot of famous Chads used to be nerds. Zyzz used to look be the stereotypical nerd who couldn't get laid and was made fun of but ever since he became a Chad and ditched his former life, his life turned around completely. Andrew Tate sounds like a dumb jock but his father was a grand chess master and Andrew has display intellect that normally nobody expects from a "toxically masculine" fighter

long story short, only hot nerds are attractive. ugly nerds are unattractive. hobbies and interests are irrelevant and only serve to amplify or reduce one's attractiveness

I'm attracted to people who are skilled in areas of interest to me: some of that might be called being nerdy. I have friends who are well-read in music, both playing or having knowledge of groups. I have a son who's an audio tech and knows how to set up a synthesizer for bands, and who also plays several instruments. He's just started on the flute. I dabble in guitar, piano, have tried the drums and the concertina. I own an old violin I would love to learn! Time's running out!

If a nerd is someone who knows a lot about some subject or skill, then I'm always interested in people well-versed in areas I find fascinating, but don't have the time do learn myself. Achievers are usually interesting.

Depends. I don’t nerd about your typical stuff like manga, comics, video games etc. My interests solely lie in the academia range. I’m interested in biology, specifically genetics, immunology, physiology and recently got into paleontology. I’m also into psychology. I like nerds who are not show-offs. I don’t like people who judge others for their preferences and hobbies. If he is a decent person with a good personality that I’m compatible with, then I’m game.

Rosexøxø · Answer

nope

Anybody can be a nerd.

Not everybody can get on my level, though. That's most impressive.

Nerds? Mostly remember a lot of stuff. I like someone who broke the mold when he was born. I know I did.

I'll fuck (just about) anyone, though. Luckily, we all come with penises and vaginas, so if he doesn't get me- we can fuck and be on our way.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I would rather have a smart guy then an athletic guy so I would love an intellectual guy, even if he is short and skinny.

Avicenna · Answer

Nerdy women are beyond awesome

DizzyDesii · Answer

I am.

MissTinaP · Answer

A nerd is generally someone who is very smart and passionate about their field of study. They pay attention and are good listeners. I'm all for that.

Or are you more looking at an 80s nerd? One who's good at math, is a computer programmer, or a gamer? Cause I work in that profession.

This question reminds me of the tiktok "come here" guy. He did a video the other day on women who say they like "nerds".😆😆😆

Women have a VERY skewed view of what a nerd is. When a woman says she likes a guy who's a nerd she means a handsome guy, SLIGHTY awkward and introverted. Maybe he's seen anime once. Maybe he can reference a Marvel movie once or twice. Maybe he's even casually been to a Comic-con.

She DOESN'T mean an actual NERD!😆😆😆

Leonard an Penny are Cute, but most nerds do not get that polished. And most women if they resort to an actual nerd it's short lived and she despises him the entire time. 😆😆😆

HawkPerception · Answer

I'm not attracted to nerds in terms of the physical implication or stereotype, like how pro league of legends players typically look (obese, pale, and don't look like they workout). But I do love reading manga and watching anime. And I do game. But I'm also interested in topics like philosophy, psychology, health, technology, society, nature, and travel. The main thing is that people are attracted to others with similar interests because they love sharing experiences talking about or doing something they love.

In short, yes I love nerds.

Leapfrog00 · Answer

I wish I could meet a nerdy girl. I love to read, and have passion for writing novels. It would be a dream come true to be with a nerdy girl I can talk to about a book I just finished or are currently reading, and take an interest in her reading material to.

And then she could read my novels if she wanted, and tell me what to keep, what to change, if I should change anything at all,. ::Sighs:: oh, what a lonely life one leads when one flies solo in a sky of solitude.

Red-Blaze · Answer

If you mean a person with zero social skill then not really no
If you mean the outfit style... awww. what even is that? 🤓 outside of glasses this days

OracleCassandra · Answer

It depends on if the term "nerd" is used to discuss the various strengths and weaknesses they have, or the focuses they have.

I like discussing various topics, but having someone who can't really carry a normal conversation is a huge turn-off.

But smart guys? Smart guys are hot.

richardcory · Answer

I'm a big fan of nerds. I'm one, my wife is one. A lot of non-nerds have a very funny idea of what it means to be a nerd. Sure, we get excited by imagining colliding neutron stars, or ion rockets, or large language models, but we enjoy a lot of other things as well.

Emelina · Answer

No, I don't find nerds very attractive, I dated some and found them to be extremely boring and very into themselves as they think they know it all since they master everything in life. Love life they suck... sorry my own opinion.

catiecatie · Answer

Define nerds. Because guys can be nerds in different categories. Like sports or their job or even their interests. I guess women can be nerds as well because I do talk about my interests and stuff like that.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Yea, I like nerds. They tend to be better conversation I find. I'm also interested in so many things. I actually like it when they like stuff that maybe I initially wasn't really into because then I get to see a new perspective on something.

Siri137 · Answer

Of course I am, because I'm a nerd myself! :D I like being around people who actually understand, and have an interest in, the things I often talk about, but far too many just don't understand me and want to gossip about crap I couldn't care less about.

Remember what it says in the Bible: "The geek shall inherit the earth". Not the show-offs, not the popular students or the millionaires or the flashy and famous.

Simslover92 · Answer

My boyfriend is kind of nerdy but not in a Clark Kent kind of way but just in the activities that he participates in.

Steelcore5280 · Answer

I tend to find myself attracted to "nerdy" women, since they're the ones who can hold actual conversations and you can sit and talk to them for hours on end about different topics about many different things.

Dealing with women who give short and brief responses to everything you talk about gets really old really fast.

If a woman is into archaeology, music, or another interest I have, that makes it even better.

Babygirl_S · Answer

I'm intensely attracted to a man who is a nerd. Love this look

Anonymous · Answer

I think when it comes to attraction, looks matter more, if a person is good looking and a nerd, people will still be attracted to them, if a person is perceived as less attractive but a nerd, then I don't think people many people will be attracted to them.

anything, there'll be always be a harsh rule above almost anything, LOOKS

What nerd would I be if I said no? Dating someone with the same interests and that I can get along with is always good. Plus, who'd get references to anime stuff? Definitely another nerd.
