Are we really still making "nerds can't get laid" jokes?
Yes we are. We are also still making jokes about amoral lawyers, lying politicians, vain and vacuous models, lunk-headed bodybuilders, drunken frat boys, obese and poorly-dressed Walmart customers, and unintelligent, docile cows.
If you're offended by the subset of these which are about nerds not getting laid then, dude, you need to get laid.
- mcantor 16y agoExcellent point, but: > I'm not offended or anything... Also, I meant "we" as a community of intelligent hackers more than "we" as a global culture. I'm aware that jokes about undersexed nerds and beerful bros exist, but I thought that they are more hackneyed than the HN crowd would usually countenance. My second edit, I think, neatly explicates why it got posted here anyway. :-)
