Yeah, Im one of those "cool nerds" too.
Im blessed with striking good looks, a GQ physique, a large noodle, and athletic ability.
Fourtunately for me, my status of "Star Wars Freak" and the time I spend shooting down virtual aircraft and blasting Nazi's while capping flags offsets some of that.
Take pride in your nerd-dom I say! I just cant associate with people that dont like Star Wars and WWII aviation anyway... they're boring.
