What do 'nerdy' guys like in girls?

[Newspeak]

I like a woman that cooks and cleans and knows her place.

Cyrus, that is funny in a terrible way.

You don't know him yet Newspeak, lol.

 

[mcknia07]

Oh my goodness, and yet being a woman, I think it's hilarious!

 

[Newspeak]

Thank God, I thought I was going to get banned there for a second.
Forgive me mcknia07

 

[Cyrus]

And let me guess, you want her to wear a pretty little dress and heels to do those things too

Just heels. Nothing else but heels.

 

[mcknia07]

Ah, I have no banning powers here, well not YET anyways

 

[mcknia07]

Just heels. Nothing else but heels.

Oh ok, that's not so bad, you aren't asking for too much...

 

[Cyrus]

Oh ok, that's not so bad, you aren't asking for too much...

Exactly, give a woman an inch and then they want a mile...

 

[mcknia07]

Geshh, what more could they want...

 

[Cyrus]

Geshh, what more could they want...

now THAT's A WIFE!

Whats great, I was having dinner with some friends when some old people were at the table next to us. The lady (In her 70s) was saying "back in my dayyy, they didnt let us girls wear pants. We had to wear dresses or skirts".

HAHAAHH, I wanted to hug her and say ahhhhhhh the good ole days.

 

[mcknia07]

Well, I guess that would come in hand, instead of the 'ol washboard you have lying around.

 

[mcknia07]

Ahh, the life it would have been to live back in the old days. I wouldn't mind, actually, wearing dresses and skirts all the time. But that's about the only good part...

I can see the wheels turning and an alliance starting to form...

 

[Newspeak]

Good stuff Cyrus.

 

[Proton Soup]

don't forget this classic. and cyrus makes a good point. i could care less if a woman is a science nerd. in fact, it might be better if she were an art nerd. intelligence is important, but not nearly as important as women might wish. in fact, they've got a lot less variability in IQ than males. warmth and affection are more important. looks are important. outward signs of fertility are important, like waist to hips ratio (don't be a fatty) and youth.

[Newspeak]

Oh my god, you guys are killing me!
I can see why women dislike us.
I think we have strayed off topic too far.

 

[mcknia07]

Nope, still pretty much on topic from what I can tell. Since us girls do want to know what you fellows want...

 

[Kurdt]

Poor MissSilvy. Her lovely thread innocently asking what a nerd wants has been turned into a torrent of chauvinism.

This is great. I'm going to show it to my wife right now.

Edit: Guys, under no circumstances should you show this to your wives.

 

[cristo]

Let's turn the tables for a second: what qualities do 'nerdy' boys like in girls?

How are you defining 'nerdy'? Some people here appear to be using 'intelligent' and 'nerdy' interchangeably, whereas I would say the latter is a subset of the former, but not vice versa.

 

[DaveC426913]

Within the context of the words used, 'nerdy' is equivalent to 'intelligent but deficient in social skills'.



BTW, is it too late to answer the OP's original question with: "A pulse"?

I learned this the hard way too!

 

[FrancisZ]

I learned this the hard way too!

Seriously, I wouldn't want to get beaten to death of this.


And honestly, I would never want my wife to be my servant either. I wouldn't want anybody to be my servant.

I figured that was going to be the answer to the following exchange. ;)

HUUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE cans.

What a tupical guy answer, but there has to be more...

Well...a skirt would be nice once in a while. Personally, I don't find pants--and especially NOT the dreaded pants suit (I'm looking at you and then looking away Hillary Clinton for what you've done to women's fashion!)--at all feminine, or "powerful" for that matter. Looks like a tent.

Strong, powerful women (in my humble opinion) could pull off long dresses even...

It is all in the eyes...

 

[hypatia]

I didn't know I was so much like that Good Wifes ad. In these cooler months I also light a fire, of course its under Hubbys A$$. And they are right, it gives me quite a lift too.

 

[FrancisZ]

I think nerdy guys like pretty girls who are somewhat intelligent (at the very least) and quirky.

Actually, I prefer women that are very cerebral, and humanitarian. I like one smarter than myself even (although I would never say that I am at all that smart to begin with). I like someone I can admire and learn from, and that I can give my own talents too.

The problem with the one I love though, is that SHE isn't actually very good at expressing her feelings. I've been writing to her faithfully for 11 (that's right ELEVEN) years; but the most I have in return is 2 or 3 cards (which I hold dear to my heart of course, though I can tell she struggled in getting them out).

Personally, the only thing I like about that commercial is the accent of the older lady.

 

[SticksandStones]

I look for people who aren't nerds in the least. I'm sorry, but my work is boring. I don't want to discuss it with people outside of my work, and I sure as hell don't want to mix my love life and work life together.

For looks I'm a fan of the cute/innocent look. "Sexy" and "hot" girls would make me think about how many other twinkies were in her kitchen sinky if you will.

For personality, well I'm odd. I love nothing more than helping people through problems so if the girl has a lot of problems she needs or wants help with the better. At the same time though, it's nice to be able to have fun and discuss things that aren't bad.

Also, I don't believe in marriage or children. So if there's someone out there who often has troubles, has a cute face, and doesn't want to file taxes jointly you know where to reach me!

So you would envision something like this.

That's hysterical.

 

[MissSilvy]

Aside from the 1940s housewifery going on; Christ, there's large differences in opinions. The one issue I'm semi-confused about is whether a girl is intelligent in science or intelligent in the humanities.

You catch a lot of interesting conversation hanging around our physics department. One I was sitting in the corner, facing the wall and reading a book. Three guys come in and start loudly talking about their girl woes. One guy says "Psh, man. That's why you need to date liberal arts girls. They're cute but they'll never be smarter than you." When you say 'not a nerd', do you mean that having long conversations about physics isn't important or more in the traditional sense, like that a socially-awkward girl who can only talk about DnD is out, or both?

Thanks for the replies guys and girls!

There is a saying. It goes like this: Opposites attract.

There is a saying. It goes like this: Opposites attract.

And sayings are always correct? You can easily say that people need to be similar for a relationship to work ;)
