You might be a nerd/geek if...

[Marvel2099]

If I went through with my plan I would have been classed as a major nerd or just a weirdo.

I was planning on getting a tattoo of two scar marks identical to my surgery scar.  Then go around saying I was sliced open by Wolverine.

WHAT.  I thought it would have been cool...kind of...OK maybe not.

Don't worry, you're already a geek just for considering it.

[Web.Metz]

...if you ever considered defacing your body in the name of fandom.

I have considered getting Captain America's shield tattooed on a couple of occasions.

I saw the stereotypical comic geek today as I drove by the local university. He was way overweight with glasses, a goatee, and a black trench coat over a Green Lantern t-shirt.

He was walking down the sidewalk holding hands with his girlfriend. She was smokin' hot. ... Gave me hope for collective Geekdom.

I am not overwight or nor do I wear a leather jacket.  However mostly all my t-shirts are comic related.  My last t-shirt I bought has a S.H.I.E.L.D badge on the front and S.H.I.E.L.D printed on the back.  The only non-comic t-shirts I have are ones for Guinness, Terminator 2, Doom and one Navarre may not like a Captain Powder t-shirt.  My dad bought it from Canada, picture Captain America but red and white, wearing a bobble hat, on ski's and the Canadian logo.

I also wear glasses and have a beard, so 3 out of 5 ain't bad
What do you mean looking like a geek is a bad thing

[Navarre]

Oh, I don't mean anything. I'm just saying there is a stereotype of geeks either fitting the above description or the skinny, pimply-faced, bespectacles variety.

All stereotypes have to come from somewhere I guess. Many are based in some sort of fact.

But it means nothing. It is impossible to categorize all comic-lovers by a singular appearance.

And, even if you could, it would be wrong to do so just as it is wrong to label any person in such a way. But, it happens.

When I was a kid I was skinny with unkept hair, glasses held together with tape, and clothes that were 10 years behind the times (or, more likely, never in style). But I figured out a little more about social custom and decided to present myself in a different way, for my own satisfaction not anyone else's.

Never did get that hot girlfriend in high school or college though. How could she not appreciate my Uncanny X-Men collection??

Vin Diesel and other physically fit comic lovers need to stand up and represent.

Both of you...

You're preaching to a very fat choir over here, sir or madam as the case may be...

In my experience fat choirs are really the best kind. And it's sir, thank you very much 

I know that it has been a topic before, but I really don't get why the copyright owners would cut out their key demographic. I am currently learning to use a sewing machine, so maybe I'll make a pirated line of superhero shirts for _real_ comic book readers

...if you at understood more then half of these references.

[Web.Metz]

...If you have more drawers dedicated to geek paraphernalia then clothing.

[litanyofthieves]

...you accidentally refer to "the d6" when your parents finally get you to play monopoly.
...you liked the movie "Comic Book Villains".

... If you use D&D terminology in everyday speech.

eg, "That was a crit!" while watching the UFC or "I failed my Bluff check" when caught in a white lie.

All the frickin' time. Seriously, my girlfriend and I can't even watch a movie without doing that these days.
