    Hai PC. What are you a nerd or a geek?

    I'm a geek. I spend much time in technology than my gf. Also I don't wear big glasses.
     
    I'm a nerd coz' theirs no way in hell I'm smart. xD and I'm on video games all day long soo... xP
     
    I'm not sure of the difference..... But I'm probably one of them, a while back one of my friends said his headphones don't work, and that he didn't know why. But then he looked at me and said: "But I'm sure SIN has a 10 minute long explanation about why."

    And then I realized that I really like explaining how things work to people, and I can kind of go on and on with it sometimes.....
     
    Nerds are persons obsessed with something, doesn't have to be technological or 'sciency', could even be flower arranging if you're that into it.
    Geeks are the stereotypical bespectacled smart persons from American high school movies, well into computers and physics... usually similar enough to a nerd that the words are interchangeable with no ill consequence anyway.

    I'm not either, but I thought I'd make an effort to explain the difference between the two demographs, assuming there even is one.
     
    I am most definitely a Geek, going by Cassino's definitions, although I do have a tendency to get fixated on things easily. >: But yes, I wear glasses, I obsess over the internet and video games, and I have very few interpersonal relationships IRL, oops. x] But when I obsess over something, man, do I obsess over it. XD
     
    To be honest, I'm neither. I'm me and the one rule I follow is that I don't label myself as anything. That's just how I am.
     
    I wouldn't say I would class myself as some form of stereotype; never liked the idea of it.

    I like Anime, Manga, Games, Music, Going out, Getting Drunk, Going to Gigs.
    Doesn't really fall into a category really.

    Unless, you could say I am a very outgoing, metal-head geek. XD
     
    According to Cassino's definitions, I have tendencies of both. I'm a very academic Engineering major, I wear glasses, and I go through cyclic obsessions with particular video games or movies. :P
     
    I think the difference is that a nerd isn't necessarily limited to technology but intellectual pursuits in general, while a geek is the same thing, except revolving around technology.

    I'm both. =3 More geek though.
     
    Well based on Cassino's definitions I would say I'm neither since neither of those apply to me. If I have to pick one though I'd say I'm a nerd. I think I'm more likely to have an obsession with something then to be amazingly smart.

    Subtract the glasses, and add the fact that I only intend to become an engineering major.

    I feel more like a geek, but I have otaku-esque tendencies as well.

    I think being an otaku is a geek trait too anyway. xD

    In that case, I would be classified as a nerd. I'm obsessed with Bleach. <3 That and a few other things which cannot be mentioned in a G-rated forum. >:3
     
    All I can say is I do what I love and pretty silly to label my self for doing that. I am who I am so yeah...can't really vote here.
     
    I'm not overly tech savvy, nor do I wear glasses, nor am I obsessed with anything in particular, but I do watch the occasional anime, have interests in history and language, and would rather go to a museum than a big party so...
