Been checking out geek to geek sites and nerd to nerd sites.

Also curious to if there is a difference in a geek and a nerd.

awwwww never mind

oh, c'mon..don't do that to us

Inquiring minds want to know.

The terms 'nerd' and 'geek' are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same.

A 'nerd' is someone with an extremely intense interest or fascination in an academic field of study (often an obscure field). Being a nerd is typically associated with intellect, as they often enjoy specialising in complicated fields of study. Nerds may also have difficulties socialising with others, as many tend towards being introverted. This may cover a broad range of interests, from movies to games (video and table-top), to more practical skills such as computer science. Nerds often have gained a strong and diverse skill set from their studies and experiences, which may at times, be unorthodox or impractical.

A 'geek' is someone with an interest or lifestyle having to do with very niche activities. It is not uncommon for a geek to be capable of reciting large amounts of knowledge that are unintuitive, intriguing and at times, just plain disturbing. Geeks can vary in their interests, from fun and sometimes even frivolous things, to heavily technological interests. Geeks often have gained vast amounts of knowledge and are capable of reciting them in a very succinct (or long-winded) manner. The knowledge could be anywhere from the mundane to 'living encyclopedia' status.

# Dork – Foolish, stupid, clumsy

There’s not really any two-ways about it, “dork” is not too good of a term. Obviously if someone is using it in an endearing fashion, it’s not too bad. And if someone says it about themselves, it’s usually in an amusing and self-deprecating way. But the term itself doesn’t have too much positive spin on it.

Dorks are the type of people who will do silly things. That’s not to say that they’ll necessarily be the ones making grand gestures to make people laugh. But they are comfortable enough with themselves to do things like put a “dork” box on their head and laugh at themselves.

If the dork is aware that they are a dork, then it’s funny. If they’re not aware, then it’s painful to watch such a socially uncomfortable person try to get by. Now I’m not sure whether they feel awkward or if they feel at ease with themselves in those situations. All I know is that it’s sometimes hard for me to watch.

Once again, there are good traits in the dork. The self-aware dork is able to not take themselves too seriously. They are able to do what they want without caring about others’ opinions. And even the dork who is not self-aware is able to make others feel more comfortable simply because of their silliness. Nobody feels the fool when they’re next to someone who is more foolish.

it concerns me that you actually know all that

Weww, when you spend as much time as I do wooking fow the damn wabbit, you wouwd weawn such thing as that!

De hunting fow that wabbit takes you to many pwaces you might not evew go in a nowmaw day.

"How can you tell if a female geek likes you?"

She will say "Byte me."

or:

IOIOOIOOOOIIOI

if they ask you "do you have an extra electron?" expecting you to
say "no" so they can say "are you sure?" and you can reply -
"yes, i'm positive"

if you get a text, email, voicemail, wall post, chat window, and phone call all within 5 minutes!

Her glasses get all steamy.

She sends you pocket protectors.
