they still want men who put effort into their looks and can hold a conversation and can show attraction. just that they’re ALSO a nerd

Cuz women say they want that but don’t wanna initiate anything and just end up with the frat dude because he initiates

Cuz a lot of them (and guys in general) don’t know how to talk with, interact with, or view women. They are just like us. Not to mention everyone is scared out they gourd of being rejected.

Because women think they like nerds. What they actually like are smart, creative, and interesting people. They want to date basically the smart, rich and successful version of the stereotypical artist boyfriend archetype. And regardless of your hobbies and interests ultimately confidence is most sexy, so even if you do match the personality they want, you still have to be bold and make the first move and actually show genuine interest and personality.

I will say that I saw something where a girl said “I like nerds” but I feel like when women think of nerds they just think of attractive men with glasses or something

Because a lot of actual nerds are really bad people. I’ve been made fun of for liking: D&D, video games, anime- classic nerd hobbies by nerds more than anyone else. I love nerdy men. I just don’t want to be treated like I’m an anomaly for being into that stuff. And a lot of them are really objectifying of women, from my own experience.

idk man i’m just tired

Some say this and just mean a guy who plays Pokemon from time to time and not actual nerds

🤷‍♂️ I think everyone’s kind of a nerd about something so this whole idea never made sense to me

They want Henry cavil nerds not magic the gathering nerds

Because women like “nerds” that become surgeons and look like the cast of greys anatomy… They don’t like real life nerds

Stated and revealed preferences are very different things
