Now tell us why...
(I agree, am interested in your take on the difference between geek and nerd.)
We Geeks say, "screw your suits, your wine tasting, your caviar and your classics, that doesn't define the character of your personhood, it's a mask. We know all about those things, but we're the real us, we enjoy them without using the pretension." This is sexy and liberating.
Nerds say "I also understand all this, but I'm not very good at getting it across, I feel out of place in crowds and I have no time for the aesthetical nature of fashion or popular culture." This is not sexy.

Originally posted by StarrmanWhat about those who say "I don't understand much of all this, and I am neither good at nor interested in getting it across"?
