Well, if you define a nerd as someone who is unsocial, uncool, and has no friends, then there really is no wonder why they have no friends =P

You can be into your lil hobbies and express your interest in things without being so socially awkward to the point of making other people uncomfortable. That's why they have no friends. My opinion of them is a result of their being that way, not the cause.

Not at all. I was playing on what makes behavior nerdy. I doubt most nerds are like that, unless the stereotypical behavior of that guy is the most important part of the definition or "nerd" is used to define a sub-category of people that are into little hobbies or such. Sorry if my post came across as an attack on you.

"he's weird so must have no friends" nerds have plenty of nerd friends.
