Why are nerds/geeks so mean online? And especially in gaming forums and websites such as DC online?
I really like nerds/geeks always have. I love their cockiness about knowledge however I don't like the anti-emotional attitude they give out when speaking online. I want to know why they do this? I am also anti-social don't have many friends...but online I am a social butterfly.

Well, maybe they need sex. I mean with another person. I ain't close to being geek but a good bit rolling in the hay with the old lady straightens me right out. It does her a world of wonder also.
Ya gotta get out there. Talk with people. Ya know you can practice on people without them even knowing, like with workers at a grocery store or market. Ya gotta start somewhere.

This all depends on your definition of a nerd/geek. I don't think I am a nerd or a geek yet I play games competitively just to have fun. I do it at others expense rarely, and when I do its usually only because they started it. (mature huh?) I am an anti-social loner in the real world but I do what I need to get by. It all depends on who you play with, when you play with them, and how you grew up gaming.

I have been gaming online off and on since 1998 and take it from me. I have been told a Zillion times their are no girls on the internet, your are fat any insult they can dredge up and why do they do it. to get a reaction. Don't react and they will stop. that is just the honest truth they like to rage people. plus that is one of their sneaky maneuvers to get you to send pics....all the same bs as it was back then, still the same today.

If they were socially adept they wouldn't qualify as geeks, I guess.
