I always assumed nerd was more with computer, electronics, etc. Geek seems more Transformers collecting, anime, roleplaying, etc.
Geeks are basically people who are as social, can have a relationship etc. as anyone else. Nerds and geeks have similar hobbies/interest but nerds often have a higher IQ and tend to be like that anti-social "live in your mother's basement" stereotype. Dorks are like nerds in almost every way, except they are nearly borderline ******ed. It's probably the most accurate info I ever read on EncyclopediaDramatica
What I find funny is how many fictional geek icons are physically adept and yet how many geeks are still chubby and/or weaklings. I keep seeing it. Don't they find any inspiration there? I'll tell you, I've been a big fan of the Hulk for decades. I've been seriously weight-training for a few years now and the stronger I get, the more I start to identify with the character. Heck, in the haunted attraction I perform in I'm a huge, hulking beast, and my job is to go running at the guests, crashing into a set of steel bars, shaking them wildly, then escaping the cage and charging them. Hulk is a great inspiration for that, let me tell you. One thing I've noticed about a lot of the really iconic superheroes is their blend of brains and brawn. I just see a lot of geeks only hitting one-half of that equation. It's hard work, but can be approached very intellectually if one has a mind to. That's just always kind of bothered me, and more and more as I get into better and better condition. But that aside, I think to me, being a geek means not being ashamed of interests I had as a child that I still have as a man. Being an adult means I can make my own choices as to what entertains me and to hell with anyone who gainsays me. - Coeloptera
Well, then what the heck is both? I collect TFs, I'm a fan of superheroes, but I'm also computer, A/V, and program savvy.
A nerd knows things that kill his chances of scoring with the geeky babes in even the coolest Science class. and still decides to share it. I am guilty of this myself.
geek: nerd cool guy. into nerdy stuff but for most part well adjusted. nerd: uncool nerd guy. socially awkward. dork: fricking super nerd social outcast. edit: oh snap, same as godziboy? at least i didnt go to read it at EfuckingD.
