ABOUT NERD GIRLS


This is a post about nerd girls.


Just for contrast here's (above) a girl who's definitely not a nerd. Ditto for the two below.






Nope, nothing nerdy about the girls above.



The differences between a nerd face (above) and a normal one are so small that we all have trouble putting it into words. I don't think a man from Mars could tell the difference... and yet our brains seem to consider that difference so important that they equip us with instant recognition of it.



I don't think our brains are trying to warn us away, just the opposite. I think the recognition is there to allow us to instantly recognize someone who's non-threatening, intelligent and desirable. Other types of women have good qualities too, but you may have to get to know them before you discover them. The nerd girl is all up front. What you see is what you get, and it's usually pretty good.



I wish I knew some statistics on nerds. Do nerds girls have fewer children? Do they make good mothers? I wish I knew.  The ones I know who have kids are terrific parents.



Nerd girls are often fiercely loyal to their men, and their men return the favor by being loyal to them. These girls aren't the divorcing type. These are the ones you want to marry. These are the ones who, if you broke your leg in the primeval forest, would stay beside you through the moonless night with dagger drawn to protect you from wolves....and you'd do the same for them. Nerd girls inspire loyalty through example. They improve the men they're with.



Are nerd girls beautiful? Ask anyone about Audrey Hepburn, she was one. Some say she was the most beautiful woman ever photographed.  In spite of great beauty she had that vulnerable and fully human quality that so many nerd girls have.



Nerds sometimes have thick eyebrows, and so did Audrey. Looks good, doesn't it?



Of course, not all nerds are nice. How about the malicious nerd hackers on the internet? But it's amazing how many good ones there are out there. Most of them, in fact!



Nerd characteristics are not distributed equally. Some have only a touch of it (above)...



...and some (above) get it by the bucket full. My hunch is that nerds who have Aspergers fall into this category. You can get too much of a good thing.



Taken all in all, nerd girls are among the most desirable on the planet. If you're a guy, and you're connected to one of these girls, then you know what I'm talking about. It's Heaven on Earth!
