Have you ever heard of a nerdy tomboy before?

Hi there...

Yeah, we exist! I just wish more guys appreciated us and didn't see us as just "one of the guys."

[Avicenna]

Rest assured, there are guys who love nerdy tomboys.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Avicenna Can you please point them in my direction sir? I swear every guy that I come across just sees me as a friend or someone to discuss hobbies and interests with. Obviously I'm doing something very wrong, lol

[Avicenna]

I know they exist because I'm one of tham myself. I suspect where you're at you might have to take the initiative, though.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Avicenna Ah, I've tried but it doesn't work. I think I told you this story before, but the last time I approached/asked out a guy I liked, it was last year I believe? He turned me down and said we should remain friends. He was attracted to me, but I wasn't feminine enough for him and too tomboyish. Yet he said he loved being my friend :|

Guys are so confusing sometimes, lol

[Avicenna]

Ugh, that's frustrating. Tomboys are feminine.

[AndrewMG]

@Cynicaldreamer I have my own category, so I love the tom boy definition (feminine but can kick ass lol) , and whilst I appreciate nerdishness (I love history, I'm a sports geek), I'm probably don't fall in the gamer catergory. I play so few games to the extent any gamer girl probably has the upper hand against me, but I'm a whizz on the football field lol

[KingdomForAKiss]

I'm more nerdy tomboy than girly girl!

[AndrewMG]

I was kinda a cool kid at school, but that's because I played for the football team, at heart I had an element of nerdiness lol

[KingdomForAKiss]

Football nerd! Sounds interesting 😊 lol I was a theater kid but I was also a cross country runner and a swimmer. It took me forever to come out of my shell because we loved around so much.

[AndrewMG]

Oh I loved cross country as a youngster... I was basically Forest Gump without the back story, so when I played football I never stopped running but also every now and then I did a cross country run, I never won but I never ran out of energy lol

[KingdomForAKiss]

Forest Gump! Lol I was terrible at cross country, never built up the miles so I injured my hips somehow. Walked like a penguin after every meet.

[KingdomForAKiss]

Thanks for the MHO

[Jjpayne]

You are welcome! :)

[Quackthulu]

Well... I'm athletic, love guns, wear cargo pants with boots, and hardly ever wear a dress or makeup. But I am also a STEM major and I play as well as DM 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons if that counts.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, and if she's athletic, it's the perfect combination.

The nerdy tomboy I knew is now a chiropractor.

[DizzyDesii]

Nerdy as in school? Or geeky as in anime? But i was a school nerd who dressed tomboyish

[wankiam]

i was brought up on 1970s scooby doo cartoons... velma was the ultimate nerdy tomboy

[Massageman]

I've heard of nerds and I've heard of tomboys. But not a nerdy tomboy. But I can adapt.

[Secret6620]

[legalboxers]

[Jjpayne]

It could be 🤔 it's basically a tomboy + a nerd

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah I don't mind nerdy tomboy's

[Pete671]

[COMMODOREII]

[NorthwestRider]

My fiancée is very smart and tomboyish

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yes. I know some.

[Gwenhwyfar]

[1CentWorth]

[NamerOfStars]
