I know I'm a nerd, I enjoy academic pursuits, read comic books, etc. But I have an alright sense of fashion, have had many relationships with women, etc... So I don't think there's such thing as a typical 'nerd'...

I used to think geeks/nerds were the brainy and intellectual type, aha. But now I've grown up, a lot, so I just use that stereotype as 'silly' or 'immature' hehe, and maybe the occasional flirtation =p.
Sometimes I use geek/nerd as computer geeks or math wizards, with bogeys constantly in their noses :\, but that's very rarely.

Hmm, i think its someone who is really into academic studies and lacks social development as a result of spending a lot of time doing anti social things, like using computers (although on a site like this it is hardly anti social) or studying.

Who are you to say what an adult should do/be like? Narrow-minded philistine.

I would call myself a geek.

Wears NHS glasses- NO

No fashion sense- No, I dress up quite nicely and take care of my appearance

Doesn't play sport/ is malcoordinated, and plays on computer games instead- Yes, but I dont play games excessively. I enjoy playing sport but I dont because I suck so badly at all the popular ones(football, rugby,basketball). I enjoy playing football but I always make a fool of myself so I just dont play it at all.

An abhorent lack of social skills- Yes but thats down to my social anxiety and problems I faced when I was a child

They belive that academic work is everything.- I believe its very important but I dont just work all day. I also did really badly for my GCSEs.

I think as a person I'm a geek but deep down inside I'm nothing like a geek but my anxiety always shuts that bit of me up and only my geekyness is visible. On the outside I don't think I look anything like a Geek though.

OK, if you spot something extra in this post that you find amusing, you're probably a nerd/geek/wahtever.
