<p>Nowadays, many people don't want to be seen as "smart" or "nerdy". If you could provide reasons as to why being a "nerd" is an awesome thing, please list them.</p>
<p>I am proud to be a nerd. Being one is an awesome thing because everyone knows we're going to rule the world one day. Heck, we already do!</p>
<p>(People just don't want to admit it).</p>
<p>To be superior to all others.</p>
<p>Well said, vicissitudes!</p>
<p>To get all the girls :)</p>
<p>I can only draw blanks.</p>
<p>Because nerdy is hotter than geeky...</p>
<p>The lesser of 2 evils.</p>
<p>Or you can just not be nerdy.</p>
<p>Well it certainly hasn't benefited me at all in life.</p>
<p>1.boys barely know I exist
2.people assume I know all the answers
3.I always feel like I must be on my toes
4.pretty much the entire school doesn't know me</p>
<p>No advantages for me</p>
<p>Nerds arnt going to "rule" Olive_Tree.</p>
<p>Look at george bush.</p>
<p>Because you can have a lot more fun playing Monopoly with your friends on a Saturday night than people do clubbing. (The trick is to find nerdy friends. And yes, nerdy boys come in that set.)</p>

<p>Yea its quite sad....."so what was your GPA this term, a 2.9, OMG you nerd, I got a 1.5".......It seems now everyone is striving for a lower GPA these days, and college admissions, are getting harder, W T H</p>
<p>haha, it is normal throughout the whole world... Hong Kong is like that too..</p>
<p>to get all the boys' pusses we can.</p>

<li><p>That sucks. Girls didn't know I existed until about...two years ago. Actually they did. They just didn't like me. Actually...not too much has changed.</p></li>
<li><p>That's actually awesome. Unless...you don't have any answers. Then it sucks.</p></li>
<li><p>Literally?</p></li>
<li><p>Pretty much the entire school knows me. I don't think it's nerd-related.</p></li>

<li><p>Higher levels of conversation. Okay, I love to dress up and shoes are fabulous, but I would rather talk about politics than boys and makeup ANY day of the week. </p></li>
<li><p>People really respect you at school. Okay, maybe not the drunk kids or stoners, but otherwise, you've got the faculty, admin, and student body behind you. </p></li>
<li><p>Nerdy boys are waaaay better than jocks! I'm serious.... some of the IB boys at my school are actually really hot (and smart!!). </p></li>
<li><p>Fun personal jokes. MUN pick-up lines anyone? I have this one friend in my social class, and whenever there's a sub we sit in the back and write MUN/history-related jokes (are you a topic because I want to table you...). The best thing is that we still have the two highest grades in the class.</p></li>
<li><p>World domination. Okay, maybe not actually, but it's better than being stupid! </p></li>
<li><p>More school spirit. Dances at our school are basically an IB get together. It's awesome.</p></li>
</ol>

<li><p>This is true.</p></li>
<li><p>This is also true. It's pretty nice. People are also intimidated by you. Which I find fun.</p></li>
<li><p>Excluding me, most nerdy guys at my school are not hot.</p></li>
<li><p>My friends and I love Calculus jokes. Her favorite is "are you a derivative because I want to be tangent to your curve."</p></li>
<li><p>I'm all for world domination.</p></li>
<li><p>Huh???</p></li>

<p>Orange Juice, George W. Bush just slipped through the cracks.</p>
<p>idk.. I find nerdy (geeky too) guys attractive. some of them are downright adorable.
It's much more fun to be nerdy. You can laugh at yourself when you do "nerdy" things... you can talk about things that actually interest you, and not be afraid of people looking at you oddly.. although some will- it's okay- you can laugh at yourself.
There's absolutely nothing wrong about being nerdy, and if it fits you, be nerdy- be you.</p>
<p>you can be smart but not nerdy...</p>
<p>although i am "smart" none of my friends are going to Ivy League schools, all are going to state schools. Most of my friends are not in AP classes, and, people do know me. and academics have nothing to do with them "knowing me."</p>
<p>so instead of being nerdy, just be smart.</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation as hotpiece. Although sometimes I can come off as nerdy when talkikng about certain things that fascinate me, but my friends and everybody else thinks it's cute (from what I see anyway)</p>
