Vindicated: Why geeks are the new jocks

I’ve always thought geeks are hot. They’re smart, have a passion and can hold a conversation – what’s not to like?

Then I started telling people around me that I thought geeks are hot. And they all gave me strange looks (well, most of them did). Some asked, “With the specs and all?”, and then tell me I’m odd for liking geeks.

Most confuse geeks with nerds, who are a whole different breed, people! Don’t believe me? See this venn diagram – it perfectly explains in succinct terms what the difference is.

A geek may be obsessed about computers, books, music or even plants – but because of this he is intelligent (at least in a certain field) and since everyone knows the sexiest part of the body is the brain, this is of course, extremely attractive.

So I hereby stand vindicated, everyone!

My friends fortunately, agree with me; so this post is for the rest of you who give me strange looks!
