Geeks are sexy.

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I'm just a sexy shoeless geek.

And you are too if you can get the reference.

I don't define people as "geeks" or "non-geeks". I'm a pretty geek'ish person myself, but I'm a good looking guy and I wear clothes that I like, are fashionable and the ladies really dig.

So my point is, I can't really define people as geeky or not. Almost all of the geeks I know don't look geeky.

If you mean if I am attracted to the stereotypical geeky/nerdy people, then no. Some women look astoundingly gorgeous with the right amount of geek'ish attire, but mostly no.

Geek: A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

You guys do know there's a difference between geek and nerd, am I right?

I'm accustomed to seeing exactly the opposite distinction being made. Wikipedia mostly agrees with me. Geeks need not be socially inept, but nerds do. I'm a martial arts geek more than a gamer geek to tell the truth, but in character and appearance most nerds would dismiss me as a jock.

Wikipedia is home to thousands of self righteous nerds who thrive to prove others wrong, even if it means going against their own social stereotype.


"Geekism" isn't truly defined by appearence or clothes preferences, it's merely based on the persons attitude and hobbies.

But you could be right, and you probably are.

Some aspects of geekiness can be sexy but some definately arent.

Geeky Voice, spots, pale skin, tiny muscles, geeky laughter. The massive sterotypes are probably pretty unattractive to both genders but since no geek is actually like that, then sure geeks are smexy.

I think geeks are incredibly attracting. I usually catch myself gawking away at them in grocery stores or food joints. Why?! What mechanisim do they use to make the knees so weak??
Any other geek-lovers of the community of Escapist?

I'm going out with a geek and it's the best thing ever. We're talking penchant for comic books, glasses, the lot. Except he's not the cliche socially inept weirdo who thinks that R2-D2 is real.

Geeks are just awesome all round anyway because they're not as vain as some blocks and are often nicer people.

 

[megalomania]

I assume the OP is talking about 'geek chique' looking people, because there is really no other way to recognise them other than the ones who dress like that!

I guess its sometimes easy to pick out a geek in a line up, but its not always true; I am definitely a geek (ask my friends) but you wouldn't know it unless you talked to me or I was wearing one of my FEW geeky yet understated (sic) items of clothing - Batman T-Shirt, One-Up hoody, Batman Belt, Superman Belt. The rest of the time I'm likely wearing board-shorts and rugby shirts.

I need some more geek clothes!

Everybody:

No, you don't.

You find physically attractive people attractive. You find clear skin of whatever color you prefer attractive. You find symmetry attractive. Whether you like DDs or AAs they have to be the same size. Yes, they do. You find a certain body type most attractive, and other body types less attractive. I have yet to find a work of fiction depicting a "sexy geek" that doesn't depict a sexy person independent of geek status.

Look at the girl somebody posted on page 1: She's stunning. What's her profession? Model. Is she smart? Do you know whether she is or not because she's wearing glasses in that picture? Of course not. But you do know whether or not you find her attractive. See what I mean?

Hollywood has decided that it can put a stunning young woman who is a 9 or 10 in unflattering clothing, glasses, and a messy up-do, and give her geek appeal, but they always give her a makeover by the end of the second act.

Your real "geek" stereotypical gamer girl or guy who stays up all night gaming and eating crap food, never gets out in the sun or to the gym, speaks in weird jargon particular to her gaming/anime/academic obsession doesn't have any plans on Saturday night except ones pertaining to said obsession, I guarantee.

I find it attractive when a woman has obviously already won the genetic lottery and topped it off with a robust interest in her own body and society. I have my doubts about people who claim otherwise.

Dis man speak tha truth, praise the lawd Raptah Jesus!

Ahem... besides which, I think we are all forgetting the truth that girls don't exist on the internet, much like "the cake" and a nigerian lottery ticket number that is actually not a scam to mug you.

 

[Smudge91]

Geeks do rock my socks! Its the way they love gaming, comics books and wanting to know everything.

 

[Malkavian]

Its the whole "Air of Intelligence" thing. Some people are attracted by looks and muscles, others by personality and brainpower. It also may be the glasses. I myself find the smart girls more attractive than the "beautiful" girls.

Give me an average looking smart girl with glasses instead of luscious boobalicious blond!

This I can 100 % agree with.

[PumpActionJesus]

If i find a girl that is into games, i find that extremly attractive lol. She could be pretty average looks wise and ide think of her as some supreme being compared to her peers.

Im abit of a hotti aswell tho ;P so geeks=sexai

Guess it depends what kind of geek, chess, math guys usualy get shot with an acne+glasses+bad teeth+ no dress sense gene.

Yeah, but no. You're wrong. Physical looks are certainly very important, as are smells and sounds. It's all genetics. But there's also an entire social role, that can be even more important. For instance, women usually have crushes on strong physiques, but settle with strong minds. Why? Because in a social arena, the strong mind is the Alpha Male. Women choose partners based on social reasons, not physical appearance. Not to say that physique is not very important. But social role comes first.

Add to that then, that we all have our kinks and preferences. I am much more endeared and turned on by "averag" lookin women, than I am by super models. Don't tell me I'm wrong. I just so happens to know what images and ideals I erect react to.

I consider myself a geek, and while low self esteem restricts my gloating, the few people I have slept with actively promote how sexy I am. I guess it takes all sorts, I'm quite curvy, but smart. Smart is what counts in bed ^_^
I do know a very sexy looking geek goddess, who it totally into RPing and Computer games, she's taken at the moment though, sorry guys. She considers herself a chubby chaser, which might be a sub genre title for geek seekers, (which is a phrase I just coined) I'm definitely a geek seeker

Yeah, it's about definition of geekyness.

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Can someone explain to me what a geek "looks like"?

Same here, apparently I don't look like one.
