How to stop being a nerd magnet

 

It dawned on me today that I am a nerd magnet.  I decided that I would google how to stop being a nerd magnet.  I did not like what I found.

Stephen T on Yahoo I do believe puts it the best…  “In all honesty here, if guys who do those things are nerds and you do them to it makes you a nerd. You can't play D&D and read anime and then expect to date the captain of the football team. You attract nerds the same reason cheerleaders attract jocks. if you don't want nerds then don't do nerdy things.”

but I definitely prefer Sam C’s answer… “Idk why youre not attracting other kinds of guys. Im athletic and def not nerdy and id love to find a girl that plays video games but doesnt act or dress like a nerd. What im saying is, ur probably not looking in the right place for guys...”

WikiHow gives seven steps on how to stop being viewed as a nerd.  I am providing the ones that apply to me.

‘Be aware of the company around you - that is to say; talk about their interests, not yours.’

‘Don't try too hard.’

‘Accept your individuality.’

‘If you don't listen to popular music, watch television or movies, at least be aware of what's going on in the outside world so you aren't as alienated.’

That one… That last one is going to be the tough one.  I think I’m up on the movies, but that is about it.  Hell…  I didn’t know Brittany Murphy was dead.

So I attract nerds because I am a nerd.  But what happened to the days of cute nerds?  Am I the only one out there?  I’m attractive.  I have confidence.  I have no facial features that resemble any sort of breed of dog, or other animal… Right?

HELP?!
