There are many different types of guys in the world: dorks, dopes, jerks, jocks, gentlemen (aka the nice guys), geeks, losers, lovers, cheaters, ballers, thugs, convicts, nerds, players, womanizers, pansies, partiers, professionals, punks, and tools.
Out of all of these, I believe I mostly fall under the “thug” category.
I know a gang sign.
I can speak Ebonics.
I own a shotgun.
I read health books and finance books for fun.
Instead of playing football, I’d rather play the piano.
Instead of watching TV, I’d rather blog.
I have a pinterest.
I like puns that get a laugh maybe 20% of the time.
How much more thug can you be?
But anyway, the type of guy that I most aspire to be is a nerd. Why? Because nerds are honest, smart, and most of all, they have the most passion. That’s what makes nerds nerdy; being passionate about something. They live life to the fullest. They love learning. John Green put it best, “ . . . nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff…Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’”
Ladies, I recommend you date nerds. After 30 or 40 years, what type of guy do you think would still be interesting to you and keep your marriage full of joy and passion? Very few things are stronger than the love of a nerd. Good looks, “swag” and athleticism are temporary. Nerdiness will be sexy when you’re old. And they’ll be rich.
