I've seen lots of geeks or at least, geeky looking guys, on Tues & Thurs nights in JJ's in Glasgow. The problem with them is they seem to think they can dance and their antics (styling) only serve to make them look ridiculous.
Yes – it makes sense.
Yes – well, in theory perhaps.
No – they're the same as everyone else.
No – they're worse.
Subject says it all.
I am not sure of my own opinion at the moment, but thought it would make a good discussion.

Geeks have to work harder than non-geeks to impress the ladies.
Not in a dance sense they don't.
Trust me Lee...even John Merrick would look attractive to us ladies if he was a great dancer.
It cracks me up when I see absolute mingers strutting around the blues room with women drooling all over them desperate for a dance and these blokes actually start believing they are irresistible. FYI...you're still mingers and the magic wears off as soon as you leave the dance floor.

These female attractant sprays don't really work you know.
My theory on the geeks, is that they know how to dance technically, due to their logical thinking and working out how moves work, but are not necessarily natural dancers.
I've always wondered why Ceroc don't market to the men with the fact that mingers become attractive for 3 minutes at a time if they can dance well. (That's long enough for most men)Originally Posted by Double Trouble
There are quite a lot of reasons why MJ attracts a greater proportion of geeky blokes:
- All those moves, did you know there are over 600 of them?, maybe I can collect them all etc.
- Oh look; there are DVD's, on-line lessons, You-Tube clips, and, joy of joys, another forum I can join.
- There are women involved, apparently.........and, get this, you get quite close to them and they can't run away (well most don't seem to)
- The loud music helpfully drowns out all the inane and incomprehensible techno-babble which they can't help spouting
Geeks also have some advantages in that they are less likely to be arrogant and thoughtless towards their partners, and with time and patience they may even overcome their personal hygiene issues, terrible dress sense and inability to look anyone (except fellow geeks) in the eye.
- It brings out their dogged determination, once they get past the initial shock, to keep "leveling up" (Geek attempt at humour there)
How do I know this?, well I have this friend you see.......
Geek is not gender biased - can be male or female.
Whereas nerd is male only.
Don't know about geeks but i find it amazing how many computer programmers / physics / science nerds etc are the better dancers....
I paint and play with Warhammer models. I watch Star Trek, Babylon 5 and own 5 out of the 6 Star Wars films (episode 3 was utter rubbish). I wrote fan fiction for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the X Files, Star Trek and (get this) Warhammer 40K. I have categorised my (large) directory of aeroplane pictures on my computer. I can write HTML web code. I have been in chess club, wargaming society and computer society.
I am an incurably epic geek.
But I can dance.
(How well is another matter...)
So should all geeks/nerds roll up and report here and get their dancing rated?
I'm not reporting my credentials but I'm definitely a geek!
To say someone was a Geek, used to be insult. It seems now, that being a geek is 'almost' something to be proud of.
I wonder how many people are 'closet' geeks?
Its OK, you can come out now!
Time for another poll?
I'm a Geek, and proud.
I'm a closet Geek
I'm a 'wanna be Geek'
I have geekish tendencies which I try to keep under control.
I have no Geekish tendencies, I'm jealous! etc...
