I am a technologist who writes about tech. So I am a pro nerd of the tech kind. However there are many non pro nerds that out nerd me.

I would definitely class myself as a nerd, in that I do unusual technical things for fun. However I think the term has been hijacked to mean someone very uncool or to mean someone who reads/watches comics and lots of sci-fi - that's not me.

I get nerd, geek, and dork confused sometimes, but I unabashedly love to learn about anything and everything from science to philosophy and from realistic to cartoonish, and I don't really like sports, so yeah, I think I might be a nerd.

Voted for often. I relate to computers in such a way as to be able to figure out any software quickly. Hardware is mundane. Love Marvel and Renaissance fairs. I'm turned on by a fem or male who can use their brain ? ...yeah, a nerd

More of a geek I think

I am a computer hardware engineer....

I'm a big ol' nerd. It's even in my bio! ?

I like a few "nerdy" things like comic book characters/movies, sci fi movies, some anime (mainly Dragon Ball, but know about others), play and watch video games.

I worked in a big retail store in the electrical dept...we sold computers, camera's, tv's and all the white goods...and I was an advisor...I have always been into computers and camera's and my friends were the same so when I started working there was surprised that the collegues knew virtually nothing about the products they were selling to customers...I made many friends there because if they were looking for something or didnt know what they wanted I would give them good honest advice on the right product...I helped people when their computer went on the blink and if I could fix it I would...I retired from the store 2 years ago and sometimes pop in to get stuff and am told customers are still looking for my advice...I consider myself a normal person but everyone else thought I was a geek...I take it as a compliment..

I used to do competitive lightsaber dueling..

I have become my own nerd. Well, sort of. I'm a nerd in many good ways. Even though I'm a former body builder I would make a good mad scientist.

I've been a nerd/geek for as long as I can remember and will continue to be so until the day I die.

I am definitely a nerd.

Proud to be a nerd!! Life is so much more interesting when you have endless curiosity about the world and the universe.
I know what TARDIS means, what it is and who 'drives' it. I know who said "I'm giving it all she's got", what color a Vulcans blood is and what Klingons evolved from. I know what delta v is and why a falling object is measured in ft per second per second.
All kinds of bits of knowledge stuffed in my head helps explain things in a logical manner while still allowing for flights of whimsy and boundless imagination. I can soar amongst the stars, watch a supernova, experience a starbirth or drift in clouds of hydrogen in my head.
Being a nerd is a wonderful thing.

I'm more of a nerd than I am a geek. I think of the difference as being mainly that nerds focus on the cerebral, are more introverted and introspective, and are more "bookish" in nature, and geeks tend more toward gadgets and trends, are more extraverted and socially aware, and are more interested in pop culture. There's overlap, of course, and geeks and nerds dovetail traits, but generally that's how I think of it. I am, however, a full-stack web developer, so there's a lot of geek in the design aspect of the job, but also nerdiness in the database programming. And I'm into graphics and logo design, which puts me into some geeky areas, but I also like writing and math and the roots and origins of words. I'm a little odd in that I was an English major in college, with a minor in mathematics and unofficial concentrations in philosophy, computer science, and visual art/design. That's an unusual combination of interest and aptitude. But, still, I consider myself to be somewhat nerdy in general.

I self identify as a cantankerous curmudgeon.

I found out I am often a nerd by accident.. I didn't mean to be a nerd it just came over me !

"A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, or lacking social skills (introvert). Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive." Wikipedia

I had to look up the definition before answering this and another question arose: What is an intellectual? I would say in intellectual uses critical thinking and reason as guides and don't take things at face value. Okay, I fit that. Unfortunately, being on this site an inordinate amount of time puts me in the main part of the definition although it has helped overcome the shy part. However, weather can no longer be used as an excuse so I need to disengage from the 'nerdy' part and get involved with more or our areas "mainstream" activities.

No, but whats the big deal really anyway?

If intelligent, political activist and social justice warrior is considered nerdy? No one ever called me nerdy. Trivia buff.

Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Taken. Nix the Makeup, Hair dye, Nail Polish, and let the sun do the rest. Anyone can find fault in anything and they are usually trying to disclose their shortcomings. Let the sun shine upon you and do it all naturally.

I identify as both with a human sub classification

I'm not gonna fall for your nerd trap! LoL

I'm white AND nerdy!

I'm a sexy nerd!
