Are there any gamer geeks who actually are good-looking?

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Of course there are tell your sister she is being ridiculous. That is like saying there are no smart Americans and they are all fat or English people are snooty elitists or all Irish people drink or all French people are smelly. Even aside from that it seems your sister has made up her mind and is unwilling to change it.

(But seriously people, it's not entirely necesary to keep uploading pics, although if you want to make a statement about how stereotypes are wrong to prove other people then thats awesome)

You've opened the floodgates, it ain't stoppin.

This me from a year ago...

Spoiler: Yeh, not a geek at all >.>

Can anyone guess my favourite movie...? xD

Actually she already changed her mind and we came to an agreement.
So thanks for raging in vain

Yes there are pretty gamers. But gaming is a small medium. It's like saying how many hot girls/guys are their the the olympics weight lifting category or in carpentry. There are but there its a the ratio is terrible because of how very little people there are.

There are probably hundreds of threads with forum members pictures. Search the forum for "pictures", "look like" and so on, you will find them, they come up quite regularly. Like these:

Really though, generalizing any group based on certain physical features is a very limited and questionable view of the world. Of course we are not all chubby and wear glasses, but thanks for the continued generalization.

Probably just as many or more threads and polls about our ages:

Which are, of course, not average for gamers in general because I really doubt a lot of gamers bother spending time posting on forums or answering questions about their ages, especially as they get older. I would much rather spend my free time playing a game than answering random and repeated poll questions about my age. Although today I am thinking about spending the 90+ degree day in the pool instead.

Meh I was playing DoA 4 against Alpha I needed to vent either way so it wasn't in vain. If you have played it you know what I mean.

 

[PatrickXD]

I can hardly tell the difference between gamers and non gamers based on appearance alone. Gamers/nerds etc. aren't quite as clear cut as 80's sitcoms might imply.

 

[New Troll]

I'm over-weight. I wear glasses. And according to most I am a "hottie." Check out my profile and decide for yourself.

I probably should of searched for that...But this worked too, so it shouldnt matter too mu-*gets banned*--Oh bollocks...

 

[artanis_neravar]

well I do wear glasses but I am not chubby!
first off I am not a guy and I am a gamer/nerd! I know I am not a holy shit babe magnet but

Spoiler

WHOOPA! looking like a hipster but without the glasses and the douchy attitude! I have lost some weight since the photo was taen but is not that far off.

It's possible to look like a hipster without the douchy attitude?
Note: that was not meant as an insult to you in anyway
OT:
Don't normally like posting pictures of myself, hell I don't even like putting pictures of me on facebook, but whatever

Spoiler

I'm the guy prsonally don't think I'm attractive but meh

 

[Palademon]

This very question insults everyone here.

 

[gillebro]

Well I'm geeky, I wear glasses and I'm chubby... although I suppose being female helps to count me out of the completely stereotypical demographic.
Most of the gamers I know don't fit the stereotypical image, actually. I know hot gamers, ugly gamers, in-between gamers, tall gamers, short gamers... my brother's an enthusiastic gamer, and while he's a total geek he doesn't really look like one... until he opens his mouth and you realise that 'geek' is one of the few words you can use to truly, truly describe him.

Also, OP... I kinda reckon your sister's being a bit harsh. Lisa Foiles is really pretty, although I have to admit she's so pale that the gamer image really suits her. Yahtzee's pretty good-looking, I reckon, if you're comparing him to the general populace. That Guy With The Glasses isn't going to be winning any beauty contests, but I certainly wouldn't say he's zomgugly.

 

[l3o2828]

The insult wasn't on my part anyways, i was the one that tought beatiful gamers were everywhere in the first place.
Also, are you free this afternoon? maybe youd want to have dinner with me?

[Deadlock Radium]

Spoiler: Well, judge for yourselves.

I think I look right around average, I guess. Nothing to brag about. And I'm a geek for Pokémon, Street Fighter and RPGs mainly.

That's one Norwegian look. I approve.

Spoiler: This is me in all my sexiness.

I'm the one to the right in two of the photos.
And yes, that's so called "hipster glasses" that I bought for 5 euros in France for teh lulz.
The next two weeks were full of "Too mainstream"-jokes and stuff. I want to go back now.

I know! isn't that weird? I did not think it was possible either.
but I seem to break a lot of stereotypes.

 

[Pearwood]

Well being both a glasses-wearer and slightly chubby I dunno if I can prove anything but while this is turning into a post-your-picture thread I may as well join in . My hair's a bit messy but it's the most recent pic I can find.

Spoiler: Picture

 

[Wilko316]

Me, people have often been intimidated by my beauty and cried out of sexual frustration and lustful hunger.
It's perfectly natural though as I am a Psychosexual Death Panther and the inventor of the 'tree'.

I think she dissed Lisa foiles because while she is pretty she looks more like a model that plays games rather than a normal everyday person.
But IMHO Lisa Foiles is beatiful, and i think both Yahtzee and That Guy With The Glasses are 'cute' nohomonohomo lol

Hehe, nice joke.

I know it isn't on your part, but is it a question you really have to consider or bother showing proof to your sister? You said you already came to an agreement.

But fine I'll just answer, of course some are. And I don't need proof.
