The discussion centers around the frustration of not being able to find like-minded "nerds" in real life, particularly among classmates who seem more focused on financial gain from their studies than on a genuine passion for science. The original poster expresses a desire for intellectual companionship and challenges, feeling out of place among peers who do not share interests in physics, gaming, or nerd culture. There is a suggestion that the demographic of nerds may be more prevalent in upper division classes, particularly in fields like physics and engineering, but less so in mechanical engineering. Participants discuss potential strategies for meeting more nerdy individuals, such as joining clubs related to science or technology. The conversation also touches on gender dynamics within nerd culture, with some noting that female representation in STEM fields is often lower, and that male nerds may sometimes exhibit behavior that objectifies women. The overall sentiment reflects a yearning for deeper connections with others who share similar intellectual interests and hobbies.

Femme Physics did you forget to say you expet him to:
- speaks terible English ? because else that will desqualify me directly .
Howover I think the world is plentyb of peoples of this kind. The regular is that one who has no intention to make a difference,he wants making money, having a car, living for some decades and then dying. It is what the majority has been doing for years ( with all respect,just like othor living communities). Only few decide othor goals those may sem (nerds) but they are the one's who make a difference. Me, I am one of the very regular ones
