What do ‘nerdy’ guys like in girls?

  • #1

I love ‘nerdy’ boys and I’m very lucky that my school is quite science and tech focused. However, a lot of them are incredibly cute and endearing but very shy and give off mixed signals. With other guys, it’s fairly straight forward but I know quite a few self-professed ‘dorks’ that I would go out to dinner with if only they’d ask.

There have been numerous threads on what girls like in guys, but now I’m asking the opposite question; what do smart guys like yourselves like in girls? If possible, I’d be interested in opinions on or from college-aged guys. Thanks!

I figured I’d have to do that, good idea :) I was just curious about which qualities the guys find attractive in girls.

If this ever happens to me with a girl, I think I’ll mary her. 3 X Horray for a women’s initiative!

Well, joke aside, in general, it seems to me that the more intelligent a person is (no matter of which gender), the more the person seeks in another person. More specific, the importance of physical appearance will decrease (although it’s disputable by itself – beauty is an absolutely subjective category, and I hate persons who avoid to admit that!), but I don’t believe much.

If by “nerdy” you mean intelligent, that opens another debate, since there is something called emotial intelligence, and it definitely doesn’t need to appear in pairs with (let’s say) non-emotional intelligence (let’s say you’re a physics genious or so).

I won’t ask a girl out unless I’m really interested in her, and that happens quite rarely. It’s hard to say what exactly I’m looking for, but the last christian connection app girl I was really interested in was brilliant, witty, gorgeous, fun to be with, and had a charming accent.

On the other hand, I would be willing to date pretty much any girl that’s pleasant to be around, were they to ask me out. (although I wouldn’t expect it to last more than a few dates)

I am a nerdy guy who is 23 and in college. I have 3 qualities that I look for in a girl.

Intelligents is a big one for me. I’m not talking about 35 on the SATs smart, but actual intelligence like to be able to comprehend things that most people cant. I also like a girl who has ambition in life, for example pursuing a PhD or wanting to become a research scientist or doctor or something of the sort. And last, she has to be an atheist or at least agnostic. This one really disqualifies most girls but I can’t deal with the religious propaganda anymore. I honestly have never met a girl that met all three of these qualities, which is why I haven’t had a gf in the past couple years. If I met a girl that did, chances are that I would marry her.

What do ‘nerdy’ guys like in girls?

As for other not as important qualities, I like girls that are kind of shy and have a good sense of humor. Also, a girl that doesn’t drink and isn’t afraid to tell people what she honestly thinks is a big plus too.

I don’t believe that this would really disqualify a girl. If so, you probably won’t have a gf in the next couple of years, either. :tongue:

“. if only they’d ask.” I think that is the main problem that you will run into with any guy, but probably a little more so with nerdy guys. Nobody likes rejection, so until they learn that it’s not the end of the world if a girl says no they will always be hesitant to approach someone they like. It is probably a little more of an issue with nerdy guys because it is likely that growing up they were not as accepted socially as some others.

Life is too short, so if there is someone you’d like to go out with I’d just ask them out (that goes for everyone). In the end I’d rather take the rejection than regret never asking. If they don’t want to go out with you it is their loss.

As for what nerdy boys like in a girl I’d say intelligence, sense of humor, and someone that likes them for who they are.
