btw, is it more ok for a girl to be a nerd than a guy? Y or N - Mona Nomura

nerdy girls are teh hotness. - Hao Chen

i thought geeky girls are hot and nerdy ones aren't! - Mona Nomura

I make no distinction; seems every half generation has their definition set, so screw it - Michael W. May from twhirl

Amen Hao. I'm married to a very nerdy girl. Lucky guy I am! - Internet's Tad

Geek > Nerd > Dork - Hutch Carpenter

Geek + Nerd + Dork = hnot ....? (hnot = mix b/w hot and not) - Mona Nomura

You are smart, you are hot, you are into scifi, you are hotter, continue with this pattern until my hot meter breaks - Michael W. May from twhirl

Geek > Nerd > Dork > Dweeb - Internet's Tad

i'm at home on a pseudo friday night googling Legos and Star Wars. hair up and glasses on... seriously. that's SO not hot LOL - Mona Nomura

geek > nerd > dork > dweeb > goober - Mona Nomura

No, Mona - that's hawt to us nerds. Heh - Internet's Tad

HA! tho geek girls are like the new pink... ugh. everyone's claiming to be a geek now - Mona Nomura

hehe, I am continually amazed at many women seem to have no idea how hot the everyday and ordinary can be, at least when it themselves and not others. - Michael W. May from twhirl

As our society slowly transitions away from a relatively strict patriarchy to something, else - our ideas of what's sexy are constantly shifting. - Internet's Tad

I used to shun "geek" in favor of "nerd" because geek conjured pictures of scary carnies and beheaded chickens. But I finally gave in to it when I realized that I was so much nerdier than most of the (generally technical) guys I knew and worked with that I had pretty much crossed over to geek. - Her Lindsay-ness

I think the diversity of porn on the internet is empirical proof that it doesn't matter what label you want to put on yourself: someone, somewhere, is going to be into it. - Mark Trapp

So on the dweeb-o-meter you'd say: nerd > geek > dork...? - Mona Nomura

I'm a tech guy - Bwana ☠

and Lindsay, I agree. I work in computers and my hobbies include anything that has an ON/Off switch.... =\ - Mona Nomura

I'm a TechKid... - Tyler (Chacha) from twhirl

Tech guy/kid... as in the IT guy/kid...? - Mona Nomura

I like Nerds! Was a Geek anyway? Scoble? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Well, aren't we all? :D - Helen Sventitsky

@Mona ... Only 14 .. so I think that qualifies me as a TechTeen.... yeah that works - Tyler (Chacha) from twhirl

14 (!!!!) isn't it past your bedtime?! - Mona Nomura

sorry, TOTALLY not meant in a rude way... i can't even remember when *I* was 14... HA - Mona Nomura

Oh, young Padawan...you are still a tech tween! - Hao Chen

I wonder if it's more ok for girls... my sis sure didn't always have it easy because there were few other women who shared her interest in games and anime; I never had those problems because there were plenty of white and nerdy guys around me. Could be lonely in the "same sex friends who share my interests" department. That said, it might be easier for nerdy girls to get laid... :P - Michael Leuker

LOL @ the last sentence (!) anyway it actually kinda sucks cuz after the novelty wear off i end up being TOO geeky / nerdy for a lot of the people i date... not even kidding. - Mona Nomura

I have yet to experience things to that extreme... can't hurt to get your world rocked though ;-) - Michael Leuker

Can one be both? - l0ckergn0me

Ok, so I am not Geek, not Nerd, but a Troll. Hard Core Hacker! http://catb.org/~esr/ So what do I hack? I hack Society because it is FUBAR - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Another TechTween - it's hard to find Nerd guys at this age, much less nerd girls :( - Yuvi

Adjectives of such nature can gain significance only if social approval matters for their existence in the first place. I'm just a man. - Parth Awasthi

More so a disclaimer than social approval. It gives people the heads up of the intensity ;) - Mona Nomura

I rather be a geek than a nerd any day. Geeks are just overly obsessive about something like tech or gaming, whereas nerds are plainly socially awkward. - Alan Le

hmmmmm so maybe I'm a nerdy geek and not a nerd. note: nerd as an adj. and not a noun ;) - Mona Nomura from fftogo
