Nerds usually don't end up being middle-managers. They either end up in a lower level position or end up taking over the whole company. That middle ground "in between" is pretty rare for them. If they do reach it, they usually stop being nerds.

So you might work with one or for the company of one, but never right under them. You're better off to be nice to the jocks and boozers.

All responses are true so far. A football team is just like the dolittle power structure in the middle of a medium to large company, and I don't think it's a coincidence.

I'm a super nerd that gets ladies. :glasses:

The statement of your 2000th post. :laugh:

In seriousness, though.

1: Being a nerd does not undo the effects of being physically attractive.

2: Women don't seem to be as set-back in the dating world by nerdiness as men are.

3: A lot of it hinges on whether or not one considers shyness and awkwardness a part of the definition of "nerd".

Yeah, but you also are one...

Would Kitty like a bowl of milk?

Thank you, Mr. Kitty.

The best place to pick up women for nerds is an anime convention. Seriously. Then you know for sure they probably share interests with you. Nerd hobbies are important for nerd couples. You would have 10 girlfriends by the time we were done.

On another note, if we lived close we could play D&D too.

Atta boy, that's the spirit.


OP: Nerds can become bosses, but many promotions within a company are given to those with social graces as well. Ever read, "The Fountainhead"?

Not really. I find most of the nerds end up being academics. Most can't handle the 'real world'. They still just watch.
