    Stereotypes

    Do you believe in them, are you one of them or do you consider them to be both false and ridiculous?

    I think they exist for a reason. Of course there are exceptions but i do believe them to be true although i don't relate to any of them personally or at least i don't think i do.

    What about you?

    Feel free to vote in more than one option.

    And you talk about me jumping on your posts... how 'bout when you jump on others'? Give it a rest. For the topic: I'm a nerd. I've accepted this awhile back.

    There's nothing wrong with being a nerd if you're happy with your life as it is.

    As for jumping, bufallo is just making rude and snappy remarks on an honest mistake, plus his 666 post count is freaking me out a little bit.

    I think that a geek is someone that is smart while not having many friends and a nerd is someone that plays alot of videogames and doesn't necessarily have to be smart. A dork is a mixture of both those stereotypes i guess.

    My feelings on the issue coincide with those of Ryan North. I think a lot of stereotypes, like good jokes, are rooted in some truth, but obviously can't be held as fact.

    And a dork has always seemed to me like someone who's really goofy and embarrassing, but also somewhat charming. Maybe I'm just thinking too optimistically.

    Edit: I fixed the spelling mistake for you.
    Edit2: I voted "other" for "dork"

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Rude & snappy? Sorry if I jumped on your nerve there Archie. Thought I'd play a little. Guess Rockmanj's words had some truth.

    I voted for other, but if I find a way to add another vote, I guess I'll also click nerd. I'm not too fad on games, but I'm hooked on my anime.

    I can't consider myself a Nerd nor a Geek.
    So I will go with Other for No-Life/Anime fan/Fanboy(Nintendo).

    I'm not any of those. I somehow love anime and am fairly intelligent while having a large group of friends from all over. Funny how that works.

    I'm a geek but I've been trying to fight that most of my life. I don't want to be a cool guy or a jock either though, just normal.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    So how many personalities have you counted? XD

    Why do you fight being a geek, Ani? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

    Well if you're fighting it do it for yourself. There's nothing wrong with a litle self-improvement but changing who you are for the sake of others just sounds idiotic to me.

    Well real life is far from a fairytale but i see what you mean.

    Still, you would have to think that the beast wouldn't have changed if he was happy with who he was. Beauty just came along and gave him a little push in the right direction.

    Well how could he be happy with himself, being a beast and all? He can only get so much companionship from the animated inanimate objects in his castle. If he wants to meet people and make connections, he needs to conform a bit, or find some other half-beast/half-people to hang out with. Same with people. If you're a geek/nerd, the chances you will be able to score with hot chicks is relatively slim. Doesn't mean you have to change everything about yourself, and it definitely doesn't mean you're changing for someone else.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?
