This article got my attention this morning when I was reading a newspaper. Japan Expo is held in Paris right now. To be honest, I really would like them to change the name of the expo as it's not about Japan. It's about Anime (Japanese Cartoons). You see, there are people who dress like those Anime characters and go there. I know there are people like that here in Japan, too. Some of them are definitely
freaks unique. The word, "Otaku", which is a nerd or Anime nerd or whatever you wanna call it has been widely known outside of Japan. Anyway, it occrred to me when someone asks me what I do for living, I try to make it sound worse than it really is. "I do something so nerdy that you could vomit". The reason why I say this is because I used to be allergic to computers. Back in college, many friends around me were computer students and I used to make fun of them. They don't like to be outside. They don't play any sports. They don't care for what they wear. I was seriously worried that they might melt if they were exposed to the sunlight for more than 30 minutes. But they were very good friends so they knew I didn't say it in a hateful way. I didn't expect I'd become one of them though...When you think of nerds, you can never possibly imagine there are many musculine delish hunks. I think it's too judgemental. I am sure there are more hotties in this computer field than you think there are. Don't be too judgemental. So I just looked around me right now and tried to find one hottie. Okay...I soooo take that back. I guess it's safe to say there are less hotties in this field especially programmers than the fashion retailing field. And I must be one of those nerds... sigh... You have a wonderful day!
Hola, S-chama! Perhaps you should combine your computer talents with your taste in clothing and become a cyber fashionista! It would be so funny to hear your comments about what people wear. But moreover, would you design your own line of clothes to make computer nerds less geeky? Have a FANTABULOUS day!
Uh, dude, nerds are HOT.
So, if you are a "nerd" (by your own words), and work with computers, then it stands to reason that you're hot too, no?
Am I right??? ;)
oh, honey, i soooooooooo agree with jason, nerds are indeed hot. nerds, geeks and dorks. they're all hot.
a lot of the hottest people i know are geeks or nerds or dorks.
You're not a geek, Shigeki. You just happen to be highly intelligent and adept with computers. Put on a webcam and I'm sure we'd all agree to that. :-)
This post is dedicated to The Beauty And The Geek?? I'm in the computer field too. Boring crap day after day, but I don't think that makes me a nerd, coz I definately don't think I am. Sadly, I ain't not hottie either. Sigh~~
Oh, I know a few hotties in the computer field... I can think of three right now, all have awesome bodies. Two are spin instructors and the other plays soccer and works out all the time and has amazing abs. Of course, all are Asian and at least one is gay...
None are Otaku though, as far as I know. They/we all do like science fiction but we certainly don't 'dress up.'
Bet you're one of the masculine delish hunks yourself :)

Yes, Nerds can be very hot!
Now please pardon me while I go put on my Sailor Moon outfit for Cosplay!! :P
There were some hotties at my old job in the IT department. There were three guys that were so totally HOT that both men (gay & straight) and women had crushes on them.
They were fashionable, had nice bodies, were cute, and normal.
Now I work for a high tech company and there aren't any hotties here. They all look like they rolled out of bed and just came to work without showering or coming their hair. It's discusting!
What can you say about accountants?? Boring old farts and do not have a life!!
Bet the nerdie world has got more hoties to die for..... I have yet to find a hottie accoutant....
But I'm sure you're one hell of a hottie guy as well.
Cheers
A geek is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge and imagination. Sounds hot to me. :-)
A nerd is a stereotypical label used to describe a person that is socially inadequate. A four letter word, but a six figure income.
Think Bill Gates, but typically on a smaller scale.
You're definitely a geek because you have great social skills. :-) Me too and proud of it.
In my job I have patient's who are geeks and let me tell you.........THEY ARE HOT!!!
Some are absolutely gorgeous. ( Men )
I don't know if you have them in Japan but here we have Trekkie conventions. They dress up as their favorite Star Trek character. They're VERY popular.
Your're sitting on a streetcar with Worf, a Ferangy or a Cyborg next to you.
That's their thing, they love it. I don't care as long as I don't have to live with them. :-) At least they're not a "furry". HeHe!
Have a Happy Hump Day!! :-)
Hi GaijinGirl,
Hahaha. I wish but I don't think I have any taste in my clothing at all. I try to look pretty with decent things but that's about it. I am no expert when it comes to fashion believe it or not. But I'd love to become one of those critics with too queer phrases you see on TV. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi JaSoN,
They are? I thought they only were hot in porn or something. :-) I am flattered but I'd love to be hot and do look like I don't work in IT. So that caughts them off guard. That would be hot. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Raph,
Dorks, even? really. Well, I guess they are hot when they are right persons. I mean have you seen a nerdy nerd who doesn't care at all about his white stuff on his shoulders? I mean... the guy on this floor. :-( But yeah, I guess some nerds can be very hot. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Mark,
OH yes, I am so geeky. But I am not ashamed of it actually. I don't have a webcam. I mean isn't that only for cyber sex? :-) kidding. You have a wonderful day!
Hi Hafiz Hector,
Hahaha. Well, i am not sure if this post is dedicated to them. Can you totally agree with what I am talking about thought? I mean there are less hotties in this field. no? I don't have to be hot. I don't need to look geeky geeky is all it matters. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi T.Kevin,
Well, you said "a few". There aren't many, are there? Sadly, there is no hottie here on this floor in IT department who happens to have an awesome bod. I don't know what you mean when you say "all are Asian" hehehe. You have a wonderful day!
Hi Paul,
Well, I tend to keep my pinky up without knowing it. That's not masculine..... You have a wonderful day!
Hi Hanuman1960,
OH yeah, they can be. But not all of them for sure. Hahaha about Cosplay. That's something I'd love to see. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Cesar,
There are some for sure but none here... sad. Normal. :-) hahaha. I don't think it's normal to see hotties with nice bods in IT. I mean there are some but it rarely happens. I hope you get to meet some hottie in your office whether he is from IT or not. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Ian,
Accountants could be very hot but then I don't go to the finance department much so I don't know. :-) I think hotties are in Marketing in my company's case. Or sales when they are exposed to human beings a lot. :-) But you don't have to limit your thing within Finance, do you? :-) Inter-department communication is good. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Maggie,
Wow, up until you explained, I didn't even know the difference between Geeks and Nerds. I am not sure if I am geek enough after reading it because I don't really get fascinated by the specific areas :-) But I can live with that. I am not sure if they have Trekkie conventions but there are similar convensions like Gundam or something that I am not very much familiar with... :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hey babe
I agree - nerds and geeks can be hot. For some reason, a guy with glasses is a big turn on. I don't know why. He just is.
And is that your mac in the picture? In English? Even I use a Japanese keyboard on my mac, Shigeki!
Grant
Hi Grant,
Is that because you wear glasses? :-) Absolutely, certain geeks and nerds can be very hot. But it doesn't happen frequently in my case.
It's not Mac. :-P It's my pretty VAIO. Since I am so used to English keyboard (Because I don't like @ is located different and so forth), I always order an English keyboard. It's easier for me. :-) You have a wonderful day!
