Well...I guess I'm a nerd then...and damn proud of it

[–]FortunateBum4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

As someone who's been around a lot of "nerds", my opinion is that it's a set of personality traits that correlates with unusually high intelligence.

loquaciousness (sometimes misinterpreted to be feminine or gay)

quick to anger and frustration, especially with "dumb" people (there's a real phenomenon I think of as "nerd rage")

intellectualization of everything

a tendency to let thought influence action, rather than the other way around ("normal" people act and rarely think)

A love of playing games of all sorts

There are probably more, but that's a good start.

If you're a nerd, you're going to have problems with women. Obviously. Especially "normal" women. They'll probably think you're gay.

Nerd women most of the time aren't interested in nerd guys. They chase after "normal" guys. The normal guys fuck them (nerd girls are easy), realize the chick is weird as fuck, and abruptly dump her like yesterday's garbage. These chicks over-intellectualize these experiences, thusly becoming "feminists".

Nerd girls and nerd guys are fairly good for each other, but guys have to wait until she's fucked every athlete, artist, and high-status male, is in her 40s, and has twenty cats. She rarely wants kids. So that's a plus I guess.

Drop some analysis bro!

[–]robesta0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, I think this requires some analysis to tie it into TRP. It fits, but OP should be the one to tie it together.

Honestly, what you should really read is the post that came before it. It's kind of long, but I really think it explains a lot.

Since you're all fags (aren't we all?) and won't read it(but you really should), I'll give the executive summary: Feelings are the definitive example of short-term thinking. As we all know, women's feelings can get in the way of their rational thinking. But the feelings are rational too, just short-sighted. Feelings are fun, but not particularly effective. As such, women really do want fried ice---they want a guy who can disconnect from his rational mind and feel with them(more fun), but they also want a guy who doesn't disconnect his rational mind, and makes long-term-oriented decisions that the women won't("makes me feel safe"). The problem is that it's usually impossible to act for the short term and the long term. Some insights come out of this:

  • Most of what comes out of a woman's mouth just isn't worth reacting to. She's not lying or stupid or anything (any more than a normal person, anyway)---she's just living more in the moment than you are. This can make her company much more enjoyable than a dude's as she can appreciate the little things, but for the same reason, she's less likely to immediately appreciate the big picture that you do. You can't have both (at least not at the same time).
  • A core part of being a man is having that long-term, big picture view, and acting in accordance with it. This has short-term costs, and part of being a man is just sucking that up. Because you're a man, you wimp. Your big-picture, long-term view must eventually produce results (a.k.a. feels), of course---nerds are guys who never actually translate that view into immediate results of any kind. But nerds are undeniably masculine, even if they're bad at being masculine, because they take that long-term view.
  • You really have to be careful basing your life around being attractive to women, because what they want is retarded. Look at the effeminates that girls love---Justin Bieber, boy bands of various eras. Women liked them because those guys were focused on the short-term---they had the feels ("so romantic!") and they delivered aesthetically. PUA's deliver similarly---the point is to turn off her rational brain by getting her to feel instead of think. But you can't afford to fall victim to your own bullshit---when you're gaming a girl, it is likely that you're not thinking about, say, doing your taxes. And your taxes have to be done.

I spent about two hours on the phone last night talking to my little brother about his girlfriend. He wants to marry her, she wants to go study abroad for a few years. They argue about this. She told him this while he was getting dinner with her family. After dinner, she and he get in my brother's car to drive to wherever next. She leans over the center console, wanting to make out. My brother is stunned and offended---didn't they just have a conversation that amounts to them basically breaking up?

He is thinking: "WTF? She just basically said she doesn't give a shit about the relationship. What are we doing?"

She is thinking: "That was a good dinner. The evening has a slight breeze and it feels really good. I'm kind of tired, but I'm glad I can sit down in this passenger seat. I want to make out with someone."

Yes, yes, my brother is bluepill, yadda yadda get over yourself.

My point is: women adapt very well to their immediate environment. Guys take a very different strategy---they ask where things are going in the long term, and make decisions based on that.

dropit you're an idiot. I'm spinning three plates right now and they're all on my ass about "where is this headed," where I'm just going with the flow.

This only strengthens my point. The reason women end up haranguing NSA guys to marry them is because they bonded to them when they foolishly had sex with a guy they knew, deep down, wasn't going to commit. Why did they do this? It felt good. For the feels.

There is a positive side. Change the environment a bit and you'll see:

Husband comes home from work. He just got fired. He's distant, mind racing. What to do? What to do? She tells him dinner is ready. He sits down. He's silent. She can tell something's up, but waits for him to make the first move. He stirs.

"Honey, I got fired."

They both try to keep it together. They talk it over. He says something about another job he heard about, but inside, he's not as confident as he sounds.

They finish dinner. They go upstairs to have sex. She starts laughing at something he says. They have sex. She cuddles up next to him and falls asleep.

He is thinking: "I am going to move heaven and earth for this woman. I'll call Charlie first thing in the morning."

She is thinking: "That was a good dinner. The evening has a slight breeze and it feels really good. I'm kind of tired. I want to have sex."

Now, of the two: who has their head on straighter? The answer is:neither.

  • There really is cause for worry. They have no income. Someone needs to be on top of that.

On the other hand,

  • There's nothing that can be done for it right now. Why stay up all night obsessing? There will be time in the morning.

This is all bullshit. Nerdiness is simply low T, being unmasculine. I am not talking about current T levels, but your general upbringing experience ages 6 to 18.

See. You produce T by doing manly shit. Sports, courage challenges, fighting other boys, fighting your way up the school boy hierarchy. This is kinda a full time job so boys who do it a lot and get good at it will not read many books and will stay a bit simple. Now, looking at the other way around:

  • If you are smart, read books, you have little time for all this male challenge stuff. Thus you produce less T. Thus whenever you try this male challenge stuff, compete in sports, a "I dare you to climb up on it", or a schoolyard fight or just asserting your place in the hierarchy, you will suck at it and other boys will ridicule you and marginalize you. Even bully. So you get even more turned off from this and go back to your books and computer. This is how smart nerds are born who geek into Linux.

  • Even if you are kinda dumb, if you suck in these challenges, you still get outcast and go for solitary hobbies. That is how you make the dumb nerd, the comics book superhero cosplayer kind of nerd.

Socially inept? What is social skills to you exactly? Adult people may navigate the social landspace in a peaceful, nice way but for young boys being social with other boys is a war of all against all. This is where it begins.
