I’d actually say I’m a full on geek. Semantics I suppose. DC, Chewie loving, Next-Gen, Bufffy girl. Oh there’s more. Much much more. lol

Absolutely.

Nerd, nut, goofball... Not sure that the term is understood the same by all people. I've always been the square peg that never had any interest in fitting in the a round hole. Like to be alone and find my most profound conversations are between me and my cats. We seem to be quite like-minded. The dog, in true dog fashion, loves us anyway (me more than the cats).

I wave that 'Nerd Flag' higher every day, and I'm damn proud of it!

I don't match some of the stereotypical traits that are often associated with nerds, social inadequacy, brainy in the hard sciences, and a number of other things you see on the tv sitcom The Big Brain Theory. My wife thinks I'm a nerd because I like reading fantasy and sci-fi, play D&D, spend a lot of time on my computer, teach history and geography, read a lot of history, and a number of other things. On the non-nerd side I don't think most nerds (whatever that term means) have a couple of tattoos, rides harleys, and been a member of a motorcycle club. But if the truth were to be told, I don't really care if someone thinks I'm a nerd or not. I don't worry about what others think. I can identify myself as a nerd and not be ashamed.

I'm a sexy nerd!

I used to do competitive lightsaber dueling..

I get nerd, geek, and dork confused sometimes, but I unabashedly love to learn about anything and everything from science to philosophy and from realistic to cartoonish, and I don't really like sports, so yeah, I think I might be a nerd.

Glasses, check. Introvert, check. Sci-fi, check Deep passion for slightly obscure subjects, thats a triple check. I'm probably more of a geek than a nerd, because my obsessions are not quite acedemic enough to be a true nerd

Fantsasy/sci fan. systems engineer, gamer.

My interests vary from astrophysics to genetics with a smattering of readings from Asimov, Hawking, J.R.R.Tolkein, Don Lancaster, etc.
I like to read, & I like to know things.

No, iconoclastic.

My prescription eyeglasses tend to have accidents. One of the lenses in my "best" pair is glued in with superglue One of the arms is broken at the hinge, so it is taped on with electrical tape. Naturally, I put electrical tape on the other side to make sure they match.

Both of the arms on my "back-up" pair were broken, and I lost one, so I took the lenses out of an old pair of sunglasses and secured the lens frames to the sunglass frames. This repair also required a generous amount of electrical tape. I actually think they are pretty cool, sort of a 3-D look.When rude people stare and laugh at me, I inform them that they should pay attention to the styles of glasses that the CNN hosts are wearing. Soon they will all be sporting the 3-D look.

Does this qualify me as a nerd??

I consider myself a layman nerd. I love science & science jokes & memes. Still love Science Fiction. Believe intelligence is sexy. don't really have the education or training to take nerd-nes to its heights, tho!

Nothing wrong with being a nerd. Especially when you have a dirty mind to go with that. ??

I'm a proud nerd. Years ago after my first relationship ended I realized how much nerdier I am than the majority of people who claim to be nerdy. It surprised me.

But I didn't realize how nerdy I was for a long time. I love myself.

While I am very much into horror, sci-fi, and comics/superheroes, I'm also very interested in football and was on some sports teams in high school, so I don't think I'm the "epitome" of nerdy.

When I was a kaid it was called being a bookworm and yes I am guilty. My friend says I could become and actual IT person like he is. I am the IT department where I work which isnt saying much since I can't do the job anymore. But I am a SCI FI lover, want to see Mars terraformed and watch all kinds of youtube videos on the topic. I want to see us clean up this world too and get ourselves under control.

If I could find a pocket protector I might indulge. I quit worrying what people thought of me long ago.

I'm white AND nerdy!

"A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, or lacking social skills (introvert). Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive." Wikipedia

I had to look up the definition before answering this and another question arose: What is an intellectual? I would say in intellectual uses critical thinking and reason as guides and don't take things at face value. Okay, I fit that. Unfortunately, being on this site an inordinate amount of time puts me in the main part of the definition although it has helped overcome the shy part. However, weather can no longer be used as an excuse so I need to disengage from the 'nerdy' part and get involved with more or our areas "mainstream" activities.

I self identify as a cantankerous curmudgeon.

Voted for often. I relate to computers in such a way as to be able to figure out any software quickly. Hardware is mundane. Love Marvel and Renaissance fairs. I'm turned on by a fem or male who can use their brain ? ...yeah, a nerd

I find that most all the things I'm interested in enough to talk about just stifle conversation. Then there's the sideways look, and everyone thinks I'm a nerd.

I LOVE nerd❣??
It wasn't until this very moment that I discovered I lost my favorite math joke ... "mathematical proof women are evil"...now I'm bummed?
