Well guess what. It’s all in your attitude. If you think to yourself, “well I am kind of  a nerd, and nerd don’t get women” then you’ve lost. When women ask me what I do, I tell them to guess. I’ve gotten things like construction, business, salesman. But nope. I’m a nerd. And a f~~~ing proud nerd at that. I workout my body and my mind every day. Not only should you flaunt you body, but you should flaunt your mind. Anyone can go workout an hour a day and get ripped. But it takes serious time and dedication to work your brain and expand your knowledge.

I like being called a nerd, because i can use it to show people that I’m confident in what I do for a living. This applies to any job out there. Be proud of what you do and do it to the best of your ability, every day. I may only be 22 years old, but I’ve already gotten the job I’ve been working towards and a 6k raise in the past year because I never stopped working. </span>

But yeah, it’s so easy to find women here because there’s so many rich women visiting every week. That combined with the pot smoking hipster chicks gives a load of options for types of women you meet. I’ve been here for 2 months and without actively trying to get laid, I’ve gotten laid twice.

My two greatest skills in life are technology and snowboarding. So I think I’m in the right place.

That being said, I’ve been called “nerd” by the women in my life as well, though it was always more of a compliment from them if anything.  I didn’t realize women still used that as if it’s an insult these days.  Glad to hear…err, read…that you’re wearing that as a badge of honor! 😉

… the more i work on myself, the more attractive to women i become …

@chevdog, Good observation!

… it’s time for me to be an independent man and make my own choices.

@Megachris%, Go for it!

Several years ago, I signed on to Geek2geek, figuring that I might meet someone who might be interested in a man with a good technical background.  I figured that having graduate degrees in 2 engineering disciplines, who works with computers both in hardware and software, and who’s also an amateur radio operator might be intriguing.

Nope.  Because I didn’t play computer games or was interested in Hairy Pothead, I was completely ignored.

So, after the FOB Commander asked me to do it I said I would do it if she would get fired.  Guess who didn’t have a job when she returned to her central base?  I’m pretty sure to this day she probably wants nothing but ill will for me.  Heard she lost everything because she couldn’t make payments.

Her boss even called and apologized for having me do his company’s work for them, and that would never happen again.  I should have sent him a consultancy bill, but watching her fat ass get on a helicopter out and knowing she would never come back, was worth every penny in the world.

There are techs and there are techs. 

So true.  I have a BS in IT and getting a master’s.  Been in the tech industry for over 20 years, and I am not a tech.  You know them when you meet them.
