Disregarding the "nerdy" part I like the following things:

Smile and pretty face
Sweet nice, caring personality
Self confidence, but not too much, just the right amount, lol
Attractive body, but this ties into the self confidence part strongly
Common interests, likes/dislikes, etc
Thats it in a very quickly hacked out summary.

Go away, non-nerd. You are not welcome in this thread.
mcknia07, ignore this advice. An ever-lasting smile and a "sweet" (eww) nice and "caring" (nobody cares, that's right) personality won't get you very far in nerd world.

now THAT's A WIFE!

Whats great, I was having dinner with some friends when some old people were at the table next to us. The lady (In her 70s) was saying "back in my dayyy, they didnt let us girls wear pants. We had to wear dresses or skirts".

HAHAAHH, I wanted to hug her and say ahhhhhhh the good ole days.
 
  • #83
Well, I guess that would come in hand, instead of the 'ol washboard you have lying around.
 
  • #84
Ahh, the life it would have been to live back in the old days. I wouldn't mind, actually, wearing dresses and skirts all the time. But that's about the only good part...

I can see the wheels turning and an alliance starting to form...

don't forget this classic. and cyrus makes a good point. i could care less if a woman is a science nerd. in fact, it might be better if she were an art nerd. intelligence is important, but not nearly as important as women might wish. in fact, they've got a lot less variability in IQ than males. warmth and affection are more important. looks are important. outward signs of fertility are important, like waist to hips ratio (don't be a fatty) and youth.

Oh my god, you guys are killing me!:smile::smile:
I can see why women dislike us.
I think we have strayed off topic too far.:smile:
 
  • #89
Nope, still pretty much on topic from what I can tell. Since us girls do want to know what you fellows want...

Poor MissSilvy. Her lovely thread innocently asking what a nerd wants has been turned into a torrent of chauvinism. :rolleyes:

This is great. I'm going to show it to my wife right now.

Edit: Guys, under no circumstances should you show this to your wives.

Let's turn the tables for a second: what qualities do 'nerdy' boys like in girls?

How are you defining 'nerdy'? Some people here appear to be using 'intelligent' and 'nerdy' interchangeably, whereas I would say the latter is a subset of the former, but not vice versa.

Within the context of the words used, 'nerdy' is equivalent to 'intelligent but deficient in social skills'.



BTW, is it too late to answer the OP's original question with: "A pulse"?

Seriously, I wouldn't want to get beaten to death of this.


And honestly, I would never want my wife to be my servant either. I wouldn't want anybody to be my servant.

I figured that was going to be the answer to the following exchange. ;)

Well...a skirt would be nice once in a while. Personally, I don't find pants--and especially NOT the dreaded pants suit (I'm looking at you and then looking away Hillary Clinton for what you've done to women's fashion!)--at all feminine, or "powerful" for that matter. Looks like a tent.

Strong, powerful women (in my humble opinion) could pull off long dresses even...

I didn't know I was so much like that Good Wifes ad. In these cooler months I also light a fire, of course its under Hubbys A$$. And they are right, it gives me quite a lift too.

I think nerdy guys like pretty girls who are somewhat intelligent (at the very least) and quirky.


Actually, I prefer women that are very cerebral, and humanitarian. I like one smarter than myself even (although I would never say that I am at all that smart to begin with). I like someone I can admire and learn from, and that I can give my own talents too.

The problem with the one I love though, is that SHE isn't actually very good at expressing her feelings. I've been writing to her faithfully for 11 (that's right ELEVEN) years; but the most I have in return is 2 or 3 cards (which I hold dear to my heart of course, though I can tell she struggled in getting them out).

Personally, the only thing I like about that commercial is the accent of the older lady.
