Who do you identify yourself as?

 

While I do use geek sometimes, I normally just say "nerd" since I'm such a fan of "nerdy things" of which are Physics, Math, and Computers :P

I identify as a Prime.

Kidding aside

How would you classify someone who loves sports, cars, mixed martial arts (I study Jui-Jitsu), working out, computers, technology in general and reading???

Huh, welp, society classification propaganda has got me again :P

 

Tbh I have no clue. I guess you're lucky. I fit the stereotypical nerd in terms of being quiet and into the above said things.

I would identify will Nerd and Geek.

Nerd = Intelligent things, like computers, schooling, knowledge...

Geek = Games, 3D Printers, Super Heroes.

 

These are by my definition at least.

I don't feel any of these terms are demeaning, or rude.

Geek, I like computers, space, and everything cool in the future. So maybe geek and nerd.

 

Also, I would like to say that my school classifies ALL those words as bullying. K'den

Lol what haha. GG. I guess while I think it's as stupid as stating that calling someone a "Jock" is bullying, the line must be drawn somewhere in school.

I identify with "PC Enthusiast"  nothing more, nothing less.

 

Geek/Nerd & Dork were insulting stereotype's used in the 80's and a lot of movies....and mean nothing to me personally.

I get called a computer geek often enough, and ignore it.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

None, labels are what separate people and we have enough problems with that as is. I also despise the fascination with exclusionary grouping that out species has.

I find that most people that classify themselves as "nerds" or "geeks" are pretentious douchebags who doesn't actually know that much about anything. I try to distinguish myself as much as possible from hipsters like them.

I really dislike how the words nerd and geek have been hijacked and now means something positive.

I voted "none".

2nd one I can definitely vouch for it.

 

yeah, I have 10,000+ Australian dollars invested in my PC rig and still counting (it's a high end workstation built for Gaming, Editing and Creation. Also the occasional F@H or Boinc and it's also a scratch build including headphones, speakers, monitors etc etc.)

 

and cars are just as expensive, been looking at mods for my xr6 or if I should get a project car to work and sometime I need to put a deposit down on a house :/, so many options, limited amount of monies :'(
