Nerd, Geek Or Square

According to dictionary.com a Nerd is defined as, "A foolish, inept, or unattractive person" while a Geek is a "A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy." And although one is defined as unattractive and the other is considered clumsy, both are secondly defined as, "A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept." Now a Square is "a person who is ignorant of or uninterested in current fads, ideas, manners, tastes, etc.; an old-fashioned, conventional, or conservative person."

Now, bearing in the mind the three, (nerd, geek or square) I guess I would have to say I am best described as a square.

The reason that I bring this up is because of my experience the other night at the bar. I was playing Billards with this attractive, young Blonde man when he said, "I hope I do not offend when I say this... but there can only be one of two reasons why a beautiful woman such as yourself knows how to play billards... either you are a Daddy's Girl or you are just looking to get laid..." He then proceeded to comment on the way I dress, nice slacks with a blouse. He said that I dress very conservatively for someone my age, 22. I said, "Well, I like to leave some mystery as to what I am hiding beneath these clothes. If a man sees a woman in tank-top and a short shirt he can pretty much see in his mind what she looks like naked."

All that to say, I am a square. Thank you and good night.
