This goes two ways, ya know, like a bisexual. Some people are nerds because they dedicate most of their free time in studying and pursuing knowledge. Then there are "nerds" who are so socially awkward and off putting that they isolate themselves from the entire world. I've seen plenty of both. Not all "nerds" are smart, in fact some are as dumb as a pile of shit.I'd be willing to bet that there are a lot more who fall into the socially awkward category then the brainiac type. Kaboom
