Pros and Cons of Dating a Nerd

This isn't based on anyone, I just like making lists and comparing things. This list is based on stereotypes, and nerds can range from being the academic nerd (the kind with the glasses that studies all day) to the geek (the videogame/computer game player), to the dork (comic book fan), and lastly, the techie (into electronics).

Pros
-no competition from other girls; it's likely that nerds don't have much game
-most likely not a slut (again with the nerds don't have much game)
-most likely not into drugs
-will treat you nicely because he knows he doesn't get alot of game and doesn't want to lose you
-most likely responsible and will typically grow up to have a nice job which can support a family

Cons
-competition from videogames, electronics, computer games, comic conventions, school
-social skills not as well developed as the average joe
-may or may not speak weirdly (ie: noob, leet... um yeah that's all that I know of nerd language)
-most likely does not have a toned body (unless he's Neo from The Matrix...drool...), this also means that he's not fit, which also means that he's liable to get health problems in the future. Do you really want to be with a guy who has health problems? Think about it.

In conclusion, it depends on what type of nerd he is, and the degree to which he is nerdy. For example, it's not so bad to be dating a techie nerd because then all your electronic gear is taken care of.

Academic nerds, however, are probably the best kind of nerd because it means he has high standards for himself, and that he's intelligent, which means he has good genes which will be passed on to your children (assuming things get that far). Academic nerds can also provide for a family because they will likely get good jobs.

On the other hand, if you're not an avid gamer yourself and you're stuck with the videogame/computer game geek, GG.
