Are stereotypical fat nerds reality?

[aie93]

I thought it was about time we found out wether or not the stereo typical "fat computer nerd" was a true image of todays computer nerds. Lets face it as we are all reading messages on a forum about a media player people who don't spend half their day on the computer know about I think it's almost definate we are nerds - sorry to break it to you if you didn't already know... So this is the best place to ask the question. Hopefully some interesting results will be shown in a few days.

Define "nerd"

[dirkdeftly]

Bilbo: Me.

I am a case in point of the stereotypical fat computer nerd...14 at 280 lbs, and spend most of my day on the computer playing nintendo ROMs.

I'm almost a wannabe!

candy sweets yummy

[liquidmotion]

I prefer "overweight genious" to "nerd".

tan que barry muk!

[dlinkwit27]

125.4 lbs here. 4.3% body fat (i wrestle, so i gotta kow all that stuff) so all-in-all, nope, im not the fat sterotype. :D

[james]

<--- 6'2", 13st (182lbs, ty Gonzotek ;)). God knows what that is in any other measurements... I think it makes me 'just right' :D

[dlinkwit27]

13st?

[Gonzotek]

1 stone is equal to 14 lbs, so:
13x14=182

Oh yeah, the reason I hit reply:
5'11"/150lbs = Skinnier than a beanpole.

i really don't consider myself a nerd. dork, maybe, but once you get out of high school, aie93, most of those immature stereotypes don't apply anymore. show me a jock that's out of school and working for a living. i challenge you to differentiate between a 25 year old jock and a 25 year old nerd. no one cares what you wear, eat, listen to, or do after high school. hey guess what, even high school "nerds" have no problem getting laid in the real world! it's exciting!

[fish]

I'm 5'8" and 110 lbs. Heck, I dont really even spend too much time on my computer anyways to be classified as a nerd. I do have a hobby of programming in a certain database and scripting language(not to derail the thread), though and I've spent a lot of time working on a few websites.
During school dances.
At home with the TV on in the background.
Give me a hug.. :(

[MetallichicA]

I'd like to be skinnier, but maybe that's bad. 5'6", 120lb here.

[eleet-2k2]

I'd like to be skinnier too, 6' 200lbs. meh. I think the excess weight comes with the lifestyle (and sluggish metabolism).

[Magic_Midget]

I like to add some extra pounds..:P

6'3" 150lbs

[Orgone_Man]

I'm in great shape.

[Trigear]

funny, but not true.

[White Raven]

I'm 5'7 and 118 lbs ... 14 years of age.

[InvisableMan]

it SHOULD be that way, i mean, wtf is with movies and all these good looking nerds!? I MEAN, COME ON!!! WOMENS ARENT SUPPOSED TO EXPECT THAT ALL NERDS ARE GOOD LOOKING!!!!

[Atmo]

6' tall, around 110kg.

I could probably lose a few kg's, but im not unhealthily overweight so i dont see the point.

[zootm]

5'7" (although because of my back problem, i should really be an inch or two taller, so you might wanna take that into account), and 126lbs-ish

real nerds don't have time for food. they're too busy playing illegal downloads of certain games that come out in a week or so. but i say too much!

[CremoNe]

i am 184 cm tall, ad i weight around 75 kilos (do conversions if needed), but i am a jelly like fatass nonetheless...
/me should restart rowing... hmm, and maybe stydying too...

[fwgx]

6'4", 20 years old, nerd and 13st on last weighing.

[anubis2003]

I'm 4' 24" and 140lbs., so I could definitely use some extra weight. I do fit the computer nerd definition though.

[incubus*chick]

Um...I thought the stereotypical nerd was scrawny. *shrug*

[Raz]

I think its supposed to be either huge at a computer or wearing some sort of star wars costume, both with a bright red mountain range on their face...
im scrawny but i dont like star wars and aint got pizza for a face

[CrazyDude]

I fit the stereotype. I HAEV TEH BIG MANBOOBIES

Same height and close weight. :) I know, I'm not that fat where it's causing health problems...I may try to lose a few this summer, or the next semester, whichever comes first.
