At camp I was able to offer a valuable lesson to someone who had never heard it before. I thought that if she hadn\u2019t heard it then maybe ya\u2019ll would benefit from it also, so here\u2019s the story:<\/p>\n
While sitting at the pool I heard Chris call out to another kid from the deck \u201cQuit being such a nerd!\u201d It caught my attention, so I asked for more details<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with being a nerd? I\u2019m a nerd\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody likes nerds\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you kidding me? everybody likes nerds, and I\u2019ll tell you something else, nerds get the girls. Girls date the popular kids, they marry the nerds\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou ask any counselor here \u2018Would you rather marry someone who was popular in high school, or a nerd?\u2019 I bet you every one says they\u2019d take the nerd\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo Way!\u201d<\/p>\n
So we conducted a experiment, Women were interviewed by a number of different parties, and although we found many Jr. High girls of dissenting opinion we could not find a single woman volunteering who would not prefer to marry a nerd.<\/p>\n
As the conversation progressed about nerds I could feel public opinion about my people swell in the pool area, Chris himself began to aspire to become a nerd, more interesting than that was the response of Paige, who had been listening nearby.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan Girls be nerds?\u201d she said<\/p>\n
\u201cOh absolutely girls can be nerds, and I\u2019ll tell you what else, a nerd-girl can get any nerd-guy she wants\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell when you’re young, the popular kids don\u2019t like the nerds and they can\u2019t get a date, but when it gets switched and women start wanting nerds, nerds don\u2019t start wanting cheerleaders. A nerd might settle for a hot cheerleader, but he\u2019d probably rather have someone cute and smart who plays video games\u201d<\/p>\n
This blew the minds of Chris and Paige, but I wonder how commonly understood this rule is in general.<\/p>\n
Velma is the catch on Scooby Doo, not Daphne. The fact that Natalie Portman graduated Harvard is way hotter than that Scarlet Johansson posed nude for Vanity Fair. And I don\u2019t know or care who Gucchi is but I do care who Soren Kirkeguard is, and if you do too you are head and shoulders above any girl who keeps a dog in her purse when it comes to attractiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
