05 Jun The Harsh Reality Of Being A Female Nerd
Female nerds are on the rise, and I still don't understand why everyone (read: mostly men) looks at women who are interested in sci-fi, reading, video games, technology or any other geeky stuff like they're the most unique creature they've ever seen. It's never been just a guy thing. In fact, guys actually find their nerdy female counterparts rather hot. Why? They share similar interests. The days of trying to hide your nerd side are long gone. However, we still have to deal with our own set of struggles as we encounter people who don't quite get how awesome it is to be a little different.
Guys see you as “just a friend”. I've had nerdy guy friends before. When you share so many interests, those guys start seeing you as their best friend instead of a potential girlfriend.
