I was having a conversation with a friend about this -

Do nerds win in the end? When it comes time to get married, would a woman rather marry a guy who was a nerd in school or would she prefer the guy who was the most popular kid in school?

I've always preferred so-called nerdy guys to the slick, over-confident guys who think they are God's gift to women.

In high school i had more respect for the so called 'nerds' than the popular 'cool' guys. The nerds didn't seem to care what people thought and did what they wanted regardless of whether it was cool or not. The popular guys were too busy looking cool and generally being assholes. I know its a bit stereotypical to label people cool or nerds but i would rather talk to a nice nerd, cool people intimitade me.

Revenge of the Nerds!

I really don't get why they call them the "popular" people. 3/4's of every school think that the "popular" people are jack-asses ~ therefore, they really aren't all that popular, now are they?? My school called that crowd the "snotty kids!" Lmao.

Well, it's very possibly they can win out, particularly if they make something of themselves. Though it's quite generalizing...I mean nerds? vs the popular? kid. When it comes to getting married...yes, a woman would want someone who is more secure, safe. Doesn't necessarily have to be a nerd though.

I thought women like you didn't exist.

I think that the confident, cocky guys are more likely to cheat. I think that i am more comfortable talking to nerdy people.
