Girls are nerds too. They won't admit it if you make it dangerous to do so. Like say, gatekeeping, calling them not true fans, pretending they don't exist and leaving passive aggressive remarks when someone shares a story involving one.

Careful, you're making too much sense on the internet
I’ll go along with it because, as a former middle schooler myself, I know that middle schoolers are insane and capable of anything.
Add hormones to the mix, and forget it. I don’t know how any of us survived.
I'm convinced half the reason school exists is to isolate the poor monsters for the better part of the day, so society can try and function.
When I was in highschool I had a girl go on and on about how much she loved Star Wars. I was into Star Trek and thought she was trying to annoy me. After graduation I he friends told me she was into me and wanted to hang out.
I had a different girl ask me to teach her D&D. I invited her and one of my friendliest players over and proceeded to run a simple session. She didn't seem to want to learn the rules but kept asking me questions and listening to me intently. She basically ignored the other player. I finished that session super confused. Later she asked me to come to her house to see her new bikini top and it all clicked.
Was it a nice top?
It was… flattering.
any guesses on what the hidden word is?
personally, my money is on nerevarine
Noobs
N who wore
Just stop
Well it wouldn't make sense without the N there right?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Actually, what the heck is that 'N' for anyway? Nicholas?
"people who annoy you."
And it isn't Naggers
Ninjas, obviously.
FTFY ❤️
Hmmm I think a "Broseph" would be appropriate.
I've always been partial to Broseidon, King of the Broceans.
Wouldn't have fit, though.
Ah, yes, cousin to Brohammstein, the European dictator of Brosterdam.
Nerd/s is a bad word, I guess
Hammer time!
Fun fact? more like fan fiction
I 100% believe it could happen.
You see, I, too, was once an awkward nerdy middle school girl and the go-to move for showing a guy you liked him was to get way into one of his hobbies.
Agreed. My ex learned how write software for the ti-84 calculator because I was REALLY into it. Girl found her way in. Smart lady, I miss her sometimes.
I heard this story from a third party, so I can't prove it's true, but supposedly the head of IT security at a previous job met his wife when she compromised his home network to get his attention.
Girl knows how to flirt, damn.
What the hell even if that thing and what game is it supposed to be for? It looks like punched cardboard so I'm guessing it was bought and maybe assembled instead of being scratch-built.
It’s a DIY cardboard version of this:
Which is a toy based on the Yu Gi Oh anime.
Ah, the artiste’s easel, the accoutrement for the thinking man
Is this not for eating sushi, on the go?
It's a cardboard yu-gi-oh duel disk. This is the video the thumbnail is from.
Stop censoring shit
If it's true, that's pretty sweet.
I've seen girls at locals too so it's not entirely impossible.
It's just uncommon, much like anything else. Especially so for Yu-Gi-Oh because it's simply not as popular as it used to be (especially when compared to Pokemon or Magic).
I've known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They're just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.
I'm thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn't get creepy about the opposite sex.
And just to throw this out here, for fun.
My ex and I had so much shit in common it was unreal. We were both miserable and living in hell.
My wife and I have very little in common and we get along swimmingly. It’s actually crazy how much we get along.
She laughs at my nerdy interests and can’t relate to them at all, but she admires the things about me that she can’t relate to and I am the same with her.
Our egos don’t get in the way of anything between us. We don’t bump heads about common interests because we don’t have a pile of them. We’ve actually been able to show each other things we wouldn’t have encountered without each other over this last decade (roughly).
We aren’t exactly opposites because we share political and religious (or lack thereof rather) views. We don’t have many common interests though.
Sometimes I wish I could make her understand this or that about me, and she feels the same way. We make it though.
Based on my experience with my ex, if I found myself single and I met a woman with too many of my interests, I’d run.
"Wait a minute, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?"
True love is only possible when you show your true self.

couple who got together in school really hit the jackpot
