nerdy chicks

[RomanHans]

Dork - from Dorking. See Dorking.

Dorking - from Dorking, a town in Surrey, southeastern England: one of a breed of domestic fowls characterized by a long, low, full body and having five toes on each foot. Valued, especially for the table (i.e. - to eat).

If you want to know the origin of the word geek (before it was ascribed to fish eating side-show entertainers), the original work is geck (and can be found mentioned in Shaksphere's 12th Night).

Source: The New Century Dictionary of the English Language, copyright 1927.

Not to twist this great thread into a forum for etymology nerds, but the modern term "dork" I believe is a colloquial reference to "penis" and not at all related to the original "Dork." I've seen claims that it's some amalgamation of "dick" and "dirk" (dagger or short knife), although I'm not sure I find that credible.

I don't think that nerdiness is necessarily tied to intelligence, or at least 'book-smarts' (although that helps). To me, it really refers to folks who are extremely studious, and by extension passionate about their subject of study. Hence, you can have film nerds, music nerds, computer nerds, as well as general 'nerds.' I agree that part of the attraction of nerdy chicks is that they tend to buck convention by focusing more on their interests than worrying about others' expectations about their behavior, appearance, etc.

On a lighter note, who here loves women who wear glasses? I say we denounce the hegemony of contact lenses and radial keratotamy (sp?)!

But when it comes to my looks, I'm still about 15 years old...

Many still carry around the physical self-image from that age, whether it is reflective of their current selves or not. But it cuts both ways -- the all star football player from High School who can't see himself as an overweight, slovenly middle-aged nobody (and is still Mr. Stud-muffin in his mind) is just as good an example as the rotund introvert who shed the pounds (or grew into his/her body) and now is stunningly beautiful. Many carry that image deep-within, knowing it is not true consciously if they thought about it, but still seeing it as true on the subconscious level.

I know I'm not above it at a subconscious level, a point driven home when I was younger, had shed all the weight (by circumstances prior to the military) and was absolutely buff (from the military); I still saw myself as what I had been. The knowledge that I am desirable as whatever I am or whatever I become has been the saving grace...

My majors were IT and Econ (double), the problem is I don't really like IT. What do some of the other people in this thread do (day job). what jobs are there for people with smarts...everyone's input is welcome even if they are in IT. I'm just trying to get an idea of what's out there.

Things to do with an IT degree:
If you are socially outgoing: hardware/software/services sales, consulting, and IT headhunting.
If you are less than very extroverted: programming, web design, middleware, systems engineering, IT staffing, DBA, critical analysis, purchasing, teaching (HS level), ISP work, communications industry work, power industry work, help desk.
If you are artistic: DTP, graphic design, animation, multimedia, interactive kiosks.
If you are literate: publishing, technical writer, help-system writer.
If you are a loner: incorporate and do it on your own (although my advice on this is to always do it while you are in college attending classes -- it lets you build up a client base while you are sheltered from having to survive on the income you generate).
If you hate working with the machines: IT headhunting, sales.

You have the advantage that you are at the beginning of your career path: 80% of people end up taking a career path that places them in fields their college degree didn't specialize in, so don't fear.

great start!

WOW. Great start! Thanx. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm brain storming...it doesn't have to be all my brain though.
Thanx CP.

In my haste, I forget a few...

Field repair tech, web master, optical document storage specialist, data warehouse analyst or planner, data mining, web researcher, risk accessment and disaster recovery planner, peoplesoft specialist, accounting system migrator, logistics.

More in line with the econ part of your degree: financial analyst, company profiler, strategic investment analyst (specifically for the technology sector and companies therein).

Bashfull......You need to appraise my assets? I think they're abundant. If you don't mind a BBW who's nerdy as well, I think I could give you some more details.

Angel, hello! I'm in northern Virginia myself, but I absolutely love your part of the state.

Cyberpoet......I really liked your picture.....please show us more sometime!

I'm guessing that picture was taken in the "occasionally germany" part of your life, because that sure doesn't look like Tampa. BTW...is that real sun glare or "photoshop" It's very strategic, nice job.

 

[TheCyberPoet]

That was judisious use of photoshop, years ago

BTW -- good guess about the location. Yes, it's a remote part of Germany, atop a castle. What you can't see in the picture is that it's about 1200 feet over the valley floor on a castle built atop and out of a natural sandstone plateau, that it's about 54 degrees out at the moment, and that the wind is blowing about 25 mph (thus the tossled hair look). I climbed up the rock face, reached the castle and went to the highest point -- all nude

I have a feeling that they arrest folks for stuff like that in Tampa.

Excellent! And your photos on Yahoo! are very nice as well, even if you aren't wearing glasses in all of them...

There's a reviewer on http://www.janesguide.com who talks often of his 'chicks with glasses' fetish--and all this time I thought that I was one of the few with that particular obsession...

<teasing> Roman, they don't have castles here... but if they did, I'm sure they would want to...

You could try it at Disneyland in Orlando--Cinderella's castle is based on one in Germany, isn't it?

Hey, I thought we were talking about nerdy chicks at some point on this thread.

Hi Mountain Mama..as you can see from the previous comments in this thread..outward appearance is not a key to sensuality or sexuality. Keep up your confidence..as a BBW, I'm sure you have lots of wonderful assets for the right someone..to use and enjoy.. keeping up the sensual side of life is related more to your mind, and how you relate your body to others, than to your body itself.

Love to hear more details
