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’d actually say I’m a full on geek. Semantics I suppose. DC, Chewie loving, Next-Gen, Bufffy girl. Oh there’s more. Much much more. lol

While I am very much into horror, sci-fi, and comics/superheroes, I'm also very interested in football and was on some sports teams in high school, so I don't think I'm the "epitome" of nerdy.

I'm a sexy nerd!

My interests vary from astrophysics to genetics with a smattering of readings from Asimov, Hawking, J.R.R.Tolkein, Don Lancaster, etc.
I like to read, & I like to know things.

My prescription eyeglasses tend to have accidents. One of the lenses in my "best" pair is glued in with superglue One of the arms is broken at the hinge, so it is taped on with electrical tape. Naturally, I put electrical tape on the other side to make sure they match.

Both of the arms on my "back-up" pair were broken, and I lost one, so I took the lenses out of an old pair of sunglasses and secured the lens frames to the sunglass frames. This repair also required a generous amount of electrical tape. I actually think they are pretty cool, sort of a 3-D look.When rude people stare and laugh at me, I inform them that they should pay attention to the styles of glasses that the CNN hosts are wearing. Soon they will all be sporting the 3-D look.

Does this qualify me as a nerd??

Absolutely.

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 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.

I am a computer hardware engineer....

No, iconoclastic.

More of a geek I think

Fantsasy/sci fan. systems engineer, gamer.

When I was a kaid it was called being a bookworm and yes I am guilty. My friend says I could become and actual IT person like he is. I am the IT department where I work which isnt saying much since I can't do the job anymore. But I am a SCI FI lover, want to see Mars terraformed and watch all kinds of youtube videos on the topic. I want to see us clean up this world too and get ourselves under control.

Nerd, nut, goofball... Not sure that the term is understood the same by all people. I've always been the square peg that never had any interest in fitting in the a round hole. Like to be alone and find my most profound conversations are between me and my cats. We seem to be quite like-minded. The dog, in true dog fashion, loves us anyway (me more than the cats).

Glasses, check. Introvert, check. Sci-fi, check Deep passion for slightly obscure subjects, thats a triple check. I'm probably more of a geek than a nerd, because my obsessions are not quite acedemic enough to be a true nerd

I don't match some of the stereotypical traits that are often associated with nerds, social inadequacy, brainy in the hard sciences, and a number of other things you see on the tv sitcom The Big Brain Theory. My wife thinks I'm a nerd because I like reading fantasy and sci-fi, play D&D, spend a lot of time on my computer, teach history and geography, read a lot of history, and a number of other things. On the non-nerd side I don't think most nerds (whatever that term means) have a couple of tattoos, rides harleys, and been a member of a motorcycle club. But if the truth were to be told, I don't really care if someone thinks I'm a nerd or not. I don't worry about what others think. I can identify myself as a nerd and not be ashamed.

I wave that 'Nerd Flag' higher every day, and I'm damn proud of it!

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

If I could find a pocket protector I might indulge. I quit worrying what people thought of me long ago.

I don't think I'm nerdy but I can be pedantic which is totally different of course but just thought I'd say it

I'm a proud nerd. Years ago after my first relationship ended I realized how much nerdier I am than the majority of people who claim to be nerdy. It surprised me.

But I didn't realize how nerdy I was for a long time. I love myself.

I LOVE nerd❣??
It wasn't until this very moment that I discovered I lost my favorite math joke ... "mathematical proof women are evil"...now I'm bummed?

I'd say I'm Nerdy but also Geeky. Nerds are into Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Superhero kinda things. Geeks are into techie stuff like repairing their laptops and knowing the difference between the web and the net. Obviously a lot of crossover here.

I don't really select titles or descriptions for myself. I leave it to those with a more objective point of view to decide. My favorite, and only, nephew tells me I am though.
