Nerds Have Girlfriends and Are Emo’s

January 26th 2007 13:16
Typical Nerd or Stereotype The Simpsons
Typical Nerd or Stereotype?
That is when they get dumped, but instead of running to their rooms and throwing on a CD of emo musicy goodness or making out with the nearest emo male (just an emo thing I guess) they create computer viruses and cause global chaos.


Research conducted by Sarah Gordman indicates that Virus writers have girlfriends,

Most of the adult males I've interviewed have had girlfriends. Female virus writers have had boyfriends. The stereotypes are wrong

Virus writers aren’t shy of sex either, they like to do it, and they like to do it as often as they can, references to pop culture is also prevalent, they may be nerds, but they know that you want a J. Lo Bikini screen saver.

More real nerd
Emo Nerd, a More Regular Kind of Nerd?
Not all nerds get dumped by their girlfriends and subsequently fuelled by a need for sexual gratifications go on to create calamities of global proportions, some use their ‘skillz’ in rather romantic ways. As one ROM hacker did, hacking a Super Mario ROM dump to inconspicuously invite his girlfriend to see a movie, my only problem with his little stunt was that the movie was ‘The Da Vinci Code’.



But seriously, how can the following guy have a life outside of computers?



I really don't think he's a nerd, he's just some guy looking for attention, nerds actually have lives (believe it or not).


A big thankyou to Social Critic, and everyone else who thought nerds don't get out much, these misconceptions of what nerds truly are inspired this post.
