Sigh. I hate how much nerds tend to fit a certain mold. Specifically the whole not liking "normal" social functions and preferring to stay in and be online instead of go out on the weekends. I have a hard time making friends with people who aren't at least a little bit nerdy. I've found that most people I've met who aren't nerds don't really have

"A lot of nerds love to claim they're nonconformist or what have you but really a ton of them just conform to a different mold."

Yep, I've found this to be true too.

Well as long as you go out to places with a lot of people and don't go alone anywhere with someone, especially a male, I think you'd be fine going alone, and I think you can meet some new friends that way.:) Good luck!

Now that the weather's gotten nice enough for going out to be so enticing, I'm saying fuck it and going out when I can justify spending the money. I can't go terribly often because well. I have a high alcohol tolerance and expensive taste. I can easily spend $30+ in one night on alcohol alone. That is what happened the other night. I did not get raped. I did not even get sexually harassed. But I did spend a lot of money on alcohol.

But yes nerds are ridiculous sometimes. Especially the female nerds who act like they're better than other girls because they don't bother with makeup or fashion or partying or what have you. Dude no fuck you, you can like both and that is fine. You aren't fucking ~nonconformist~ for being a nerd who shuns those things. You are conforming to the nerd mold.

It is enticing with the weather being so nice now!

Well, a lot of people spend more than that on things when they go out, for instance if you go to a movie you can spend that much easily, so, since your tolerance is high, I think it's fine to do that sometimes!:) Actually, some types of alcohol are really healthy, too.:D

Exactly!

I've noticed the same thing. Luckily the friends I do have, like to go do fun things for the most part, but I have trouble making new friends because there just aren't any nerds out and about. I also won't make friend with non-nerds. We have nothing to talk about and I take alot of joy from just talking.

It's not even necessarily them being unwilling to go out and do fun things in general. I can get a group of people to watch a movie with me, or go hang out somewhere, etc. The trouble is when I want to do stuff that's considered what "normal" people do, like going out to bars and such. There's this perception among a lot of nerds that they're "above" that or some bullshit.

Yeah, exactly. I do have hobbies that aren't "nerdy", but there's pretty much no way I could make friends with non-nerds even in those hobbies. Fencing, for instance, is not enough to base a friendship on.
