Why is it that everyone says a girl who is either a brainiac, a science fiction/fantasy/anime/comics fan, a gamer, or an artist is probably going to be nicer than other girls?
In my experience they're just as mean (and, in a lot of cases, just as irritating) as every other kind of girl, if not moreso at times.
Sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm not in the best of moods and just wanted to put a stereotype to question.

I would much rather date a Geeky girl, as least they are not so full fo themselves and they don't tart themselves up. Thats just a couple of pointsI have.

Honestly.... I think you're right. In terms of daily interaction, I think on average, girls outside the mainstream are just as likely to be difficult to get along with as the other girls. However, I think they also have different expectations for their mates and may (again, on average) be more open-minded.

I have never dated 'cool' girls, and find that 'geeky' girls are far more interesting. gwenevyn has some good points that I have found to be true. I think they can be just as mean, but for different reasons, and there is usually more beneath the surface.

Humans by nature have the capacity to be cruel... it's what we do with that capacity that defines us...

Not that I'm saying girls are mean - but geeky girls are still girls, just like geeky guys are still guys. I mean, you still want sex, right? So do 'normal' guys. So why would geeky girls be different to 'normal' girls?

Well, a few people said this earlier but 'geeky' girls are often more open minded than a girl who has a dozen guys obeying her every whim.
'Geeky' girls tend to look at more than just a guy's physical appearance because the girl, herself, may be considered 'geeky' partially because her physical appearance may not be the typical definition of beauty either.

I had something else more original to add too but I forgot what it was. Dang it.
I'll post again later.

I think whether or not someone is open-minded, good with people, etc. has much more to do with them than their social group. Being a brainiac, science fiction/fantasy/anime/comics fan, gamer, or artist still doesn't stop you from being cocky and opinionated. That and as guys start chasing after those of their own heart and especially in the 20's phase, it seems like a lot of the preppy, in-crowd'ish girls start being really cool and its a lot of the alternative types who start thinking they're really pimp isht. Not that it didn't happen in highschool with some but I think it goes to show that in crowd, out crowd, alternative crowd, people are fundamentally the same just with different preferences on certain things.

I think anyone who's well lived and worldwise is easier to get along with, they've galvanized past their own insecurities and I sometimes think that's how a lot of my best friends when I was in my 20's were actually through one friend who was in a crowd a couple years younger than my core group. You know how in highschool you had the preppy crowd but you also had the side of the preppy crowd who was into alcohol, drugs, gangster rap, partied, a bit more blue collar at heart, etc.? Those friends, from all the stupid stuff they'd gotten into as kids, a lot of them were gaining something a bit past street smarts, kinda like an eastern wisdom of sorts just atypically collected. That seems to happen with a lot of people who've either been extremely analytical in their day, got into a lot of stupid stuff in their day and a lot of trouble with the law, or alternatively went through a lot and were determined to rise above. The unlived, the underdeveloped, the people who cling to "this is what society tells me I should do" out of fear rather than testing and reaffirming it logically, those tend to be the people who are tougher to deal with - guys and girls alike of course.

I generally try to be nice to people, but when I was a kid there was one girl I was horrible to, and now I feel really guilty about it. One of my friends said this girl was fat and a nasty person (she, poor thing was 4 and I was 8) so of course I believed this as truth and was accordingly nasty to her. She must have hated me so much. Of course I got my comeupence - in high school, uni and even now at work I am very unpopular. It is really only as an adult though that I have become nicer, before I never considered myself as a nice person and was generally too uncaring to ever bother about other people's feelings.

True geeky girls can be just as much pains in the butt as non-geeky women.

The thing about geeky girls though that you have to be careful with is that some of them tend to have low self esteem and people with low self esteem are more likely to cheat in relationships.

So even though I too prefer geeky girls I'm careful to date girls who don't crave or need attention from other guys to feel good about themselves.

If that isn't ringing endorsement I don't know what is :lol:

I just hope they appreciate you for your ears rb, and are not just after your collection of rocks and sports cards.
