In general, most nerds are afraid of me.
I'm flamboyant and mouthy to most nerds whereas I'm docile and reserved to the "cool" guy or "Mr. Popular."
HOWEVER, I like nerds. They are my preference. I will chase after the right one and betcha bottom dolla I get em in the end too.
Ironically I am currently dating a nerd and another is attempting to court me (he's a pseudo-ex), both chased/chasing. That's funny because that's the first time in my life this has happened (by nerds that is). I usually point most nerds out like "YOU. I like you. We go together now."
The downside about most nerds is that I tend to be very controlling and asinine. Regardless of how alpha they are, I can be slightly insecure or feel intimidating being a nerd myself. Alpha nerds have a superiority complex all their own. I'm used to being the smarter or at least the most well-rounded in the relationship. So in my relationship with "nerdy" guys it's almost as if I feel that I have something to prove. I turn into femme fatale which is where I either sabotage the relationship or run from it. Sometimes both.
Fact is, I feel some kinda way when I feel a man is so much more intelligent than I am. At the same time, it's sooo sexy. And I like it.
eta: my nerdy guys tend to geeky by profession vs nerdy just for the hell of it. If you're a weird or eccentric just because. No thanks.
