Nerdy Girls Have Attained Sexy Status
News Type: Opinion — Seeded on Sun Jun 22, 2008 5:14 AM EDT
Article Source: AlterNet.orgadvertisement
After endless amounts of drool over sexy male nerds (like the recent NY Observer piece about male "nerds of steel," hailing the arrival of geeks who are buff), many men and women are cheering about the "revenge of the nerdette" -- the rise of the sexy nerd girl.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Absolutely! Its the level of nerdiness and lack of sociall nskills that makes one uncool. There"s a fine line between nerdy and geeky...so far, I've met quite a few really cool nerds, some I met via Newsvine. :P

I've always thought nerdy girls had sexy status. And as soon as they got off their computers and finished programming the destruction of the world I told them that.

I've always had a thing for nerdettes. My ex-wife (and gawd does it ever sound weird to say that) was a full-blown, glasses-wearing, science-degree-holding Star Trek fan...

1. Instant messaging
2. Email
3. Voicemail
4. EGreeting card
Cause nerdy guys would be even more intimidated by a nerdy girl. ;-)

A nerdy guy, speaking to a nerdy girl, both equally nerdy, with no one sided nerd barrier in between, keeping them utterly on the same level of nerdiness. Us guys had a rough enough time handling political correct, now we're going to have be accurate and intelligible too? The human race is doomed, doomed I say. < wink >

Hmmm...I think one very good approach might be something like, "hey, I'm rebuilding an ol' Trash-80 and lookin' for a working Zylog Z-80. Have any idea where I might find one?"
Btw...one of the hottest TV nerd 'girls' - IMHO - is Abby on CBS' "NCIS".

If you can't figure out how to best approach a nerdy girl, at least stack the deck to make a nerdy girl approach you.
I was at a bookstore and there was a guy on the same row. His cell phone went off and the ringer was the Death Star tune from Star Wars (there's a better name for it, but it escapes me at the moment). Once he was off his call (and I was sure he hadn't been speaking to a girlfriend) I told him "nice ringer". We wound up having coffee.

Walks up to her cubicle and asks her out to dinner? That's what my boyfriend did to me and I was so nervous about the prospect of going on a date with somebody that I didn't know (plus I carpooled with my mom to work at the time) that I turned him down. I had to talk to him via e-mail before I realized that he was nerdy enough to not be afraid of.

Actually its about time something like this happened, my synopsis is that nerds and geeks are exceptions to the alpha social alignment, this shift towards nerd alpha is positive.

I think if nerds try to take alpha status they'll (individually, since obviously we're talking tendencies not collectivity) simply be fish out of water, like Bill Gates.
They're (we're) better of dispensing with that paradigm altogether. That's sexy.

I think the article sort of turns into a "nerdy girls are okay-if they don't look too nerdy", which sort of ticks me off a little, even if it overall says it's okay to be nerdy. (Gawd, they can't sell anything to THOSE girls!) Nerdy girls were never physically that much different than un-nerdy girls.
What some men figured out is that when it comes to asset sharing in life,(potential long term mate, or spouse) they might want to have a woman around who can balance a checkbook and maybe has a talent or two up her sleeve that can actually enhance their financial future. (Maybe wary of gold-diggers?) If she happens to be a supermodel, than that's okay, but who are you going to trust with your IRA?
Anyone can look like a model with enough time and money. But women who are smart regardless of their looks have historically been passed over in the media due to fashion/cosmetic/media/porn/film industry that feeds itself at the trough of illiteracy, ignorance, vanity, fear, and ego.
I would like to see an article that looks at whether with increased education just means their are more of us, that it's more appealing and acceptable to be smart, and what that means for men. I think there are a lot of pluses for men to have more intelligent wives and girlfriends, but no one wants to talk about that, just last years Forbes got all up in the grill over women having careers. Nice, they are a magazine about making money, but apparently not WOMEN making money.
So overall, it's nice that finally some respect is given, but you know, I always was sexy, and if those dumb jocks didn't know it, fine because they were just too stupid for me to go with.

Which reminds me of an old riddle:
A guy wants to get married but he is having a dickens of a time deciding which of his three likely prospects to propose to so he gives each woman $5000 and watches to see what they do with the money.
The first chick gets her hair done, her nails done, some laser depilatory, some sexy new clothes, some exotic perfume and a gym membership. "She coos into his ear, "Ay Papi, I did this to look more attractive to you because I love you so much."
"Well baby, thank you. You are looking mighty fine, mighty fine indeed..."
The second dame takes the five grand and buys the guy some fancy schmancy gifts. A fancy watch, an iPod, the latest, lightest laptop, a new putter and some fancy silk Hawaiian shirts. She snuggles up to him and whispers into his ear, "I got you these gifts for you to enjoy and to show you how much I love you."
"Well thank darling; how very generous of you, very generous indeed..."
The third bird took the $5000 and invested it in some high earning stocks, turning the money around fast and furious and earning several times the initial investment. She gives the dude back his $5000 and puts the rest in a joint account and tells him with soft and sibilant sounds, "I love you so much that I want to plan for our future together."
"Sweetie, thank you. You are very thoughtful and wise, very thoughtful and wise indeed..."

But it's the way the world works, seemingly.
It's kind of like all the women who've sat next to me and cried on my shoulder about how there are no smart, nice men out there.

My point ( and yes, I do have a point ) is that guys can be dumb. To horribly paraphrase the 16th president of the United States of America, " ...a guy can be smart around women some of the time, and a guy can be smart around some women all of the time but no dude can be smart around all women all of the time..." I think he said that in the Lincoln/Douglas match.

Stay tuned for the Hottest Viner contest. I have it on good authority that it should be gracing Stolte-Sawa and/or Prompt's column in the not-too-distant future.

We've already had one of these, but we should have another one!

That's a terrible place to start, because you'll end up somewhere on YouTube or Wikipedia, and three hours later you'll have learned everything there is to know about cabbage and Roanoke.
(side note, while browsing Wikipedia for a suitably random topic to use, I came across one of the most terrifyingly named albums ever. I give you, Carnivorous Erection.)

Yup, I believe there is not a more vile assault upon the sensibilities of even the most jaded amongst us.
Caution: "NSFW" is a gross understatement!

It gets worse. Read the track titles.
I submit that "goregrind" concerts (yeah, apparently it's a real genre. wikipedia says it, so it must be true.) is not a good place to meet geek/nerd girls.

Yeah, I read the song titles. All that syrupy sweet romance made me want to douse my eyeballs in hydrochloric acid.

I'm waiting for someone to do a music video in the style of Weird Al called "Nerdy Girls Need Love Too!" to the tune of the Samantha Fox 80's song "Naughty Girls Need Love Too" any day now. Many images are running through my head at this very moment.

I won't include a link because that would be thread-jacking (and Tedd would tease me about it), but I've been inspired by this thread to write an article that will allow all you Newsvine women to rate your Nerdette status...

If I think that rating my nerdette status sounds like fun, that pretty much screams nerdette, doesn't it?

I'll do the honors then so nobody can complain.
What's your Nerdette cred rating?

in the 80's one of the biggest social outcasts left us to be hired into Boeing as a computer programmer.
Yeah, he was a nerd
but, now that his skills pay well I don't think of him as a social outcast, and wonder at the whole 'in club' mentality stuff
after all, who's the outcast now?
I am nearing my 20 year re-union...at the 10 year reunion we saw that the most popular and funny guys / girls were the most knocked up and out of a job..while folks like me who were quiet and not that outgoing had a home, a great marriage, toys, and a family (in no order) all of the things that while in high school I wanted to have...now the 'popular' folks did not and lived at home with parents..who still have god awful rules...
who's the geek now?
oh, by the way...I married the biggest geeky nerdy girl and lately she is blossoming into her role
well paid, smart and sexy.....add 6 figures to any income and their sexiness improves
but she is very pretty and at the time I met her people didn't approve...now times have changed and all they can do is say...WOW
