    What would you prefer? To be considered a geek and to be happy, or to be trendy, popular and unhappy?

    This is just a bit of fun XD Don't take it to heart.

    EDIT: I would rather be happy and have people shun me because they think I'm a geek.

    I'm already a person who has the nerve to lay in the floor of a public place and sing the Oscar Mayer weiner song. Needless to say, I'm not very popular, but I'm happy. :3
     
    Id be anything, it doesn't really matter to me
     
    At my school, if you're geeky and nerdy, you're pretty damn cool for the most part. :P

    Anyway, I've always prided myself in being a geek and I doubt that'll ever change. I've never been into the preppy thing, so this suits me just fine.
     
    This is my kind of thread <33

    Anyway, I'm a dork. Caps. DORK. I make a habit if hiding the fact though, so no one at school really knows I am. Just my friend, Patrick who is my fellow closet dork. Yay closet dorks, geeks and anime nerds <33
     
    Sorry, couldn't agree to one of the answers so I had to put this sucks.. :x

    Well, not all geeks would be happy and not all popular people are unhappy. Don't sit there and divide people up like that. I'd like to be a mix of the two and experience both happiness and hardships while being smart and popular. I don't want to always feel shunned for my individuality or get screwed for my popularity. I can't live through life staying on the same side of the hill forever so I want to be the king of that hill and have the power to walk on both sides anytime I please. Yay for split personality w/e.
     
    Sorry, can't understand 'geek' or 'popular'. Those distinctions are never used here. I can be individual and whatever and popular at the same time. And that's what I do. It's not like you live a certain way to be popular.

    Closet dork...Yeah, that descibes me completely <_<

    I'm that dude who has that reputation of being all "badass" in RL, despite the fact that no one actually knows that in my free time I watch anime, and hang out on various pokemon forums xD

    It's not like I would admit to anyone I know how much of a nerd I actually am, but if someone found out, I don't really think I would care all that much =/
     
    I couldn't agree also because its too difficult to decide. I'm not a geek and never will be and I dont follow trends I'm a leader not a follower



    :t354:TG
     
    I don't really know.So I didn't vote for any of the choices.

    Some people call me a geek because I spend too much time on the computer.
    But then sometimes the popular kids tell me to hang out with them.

    I'm a geek, but a whiny one. ):

    Although I am quite happy with being a geek. As a chronic loner, I somehow found another chronic loner; and we ended up in this chronic loner group with all the other chronic loners and we talk all day long about yaoi and yuri and chronic loner things. =D
     
    My personal happiness will always mean more to me than being a member of the "cool crowd." Besides, I'm a geek at heart (who else went to junior high with a Pokemon lunch box?), I'm proud of who I am, and I don't want to change that to be a member of a herd.

    And no, this isn't a hypothetical situation for me. :p I'm happy to be unpopular and a geek, finding friends that share interests. That's how my life is. I don't want to be friends with people who like me for only following the trends of the day.

    I did say its a bit of fun - don't take it to heart. I didn't at all say all geeks are happy, nor did I say all popular people are unhappy. The poll is just if given the choice, which would you prefer?

    IMO, neither matters in life.
     
    I'm quite a geek, and happy about it. I have friends who are 'popular', though there isn't such a defined line between them where I am. I suppose I'm somewhere in between myself.

    I'm slowly beginning to like who I've become more and more. It's not that I like myself, I'm just beginning to feel more comfortable with who I am.

    Though I'm still not sure who that is.
     
    I'm a geek and I'm happy but I also happen to be quite popular =P

    Umm...she never said that it was like that. o.o This is essentially just a way of asking which you value higher: popularity or personal happiness. Of course everyone would rather have both, but including that option would sort of take away the point. =O

    Anyways, I'm geek all the way and proud of it. I've never been into trends or fit in with the popular crowd and I see no need to try. I've always been a bit of a loner type IRL, so I actually prefer being in small groups of people who I don't have to hide my true self from. Like Hanako said: if people only like you for following the crowd then they're not really your friends. xP
     
    I'm kind of both really, fairly balanced, I don't know how I became popular and renowned in my area back in the early high school days.
