Unfortunately, he...Oh yes, the nerd love is strong. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, here in the US, at least, there is the common misconception among many nerds and other not-hunky guys that women don't like nice guys - when in fact what they really mean is "Playboy bunnies don't pay attention to me" and don't realize that either 1) only foolish women like not-nice guys and why would you want to date someone stupid?, 2) lots of women like them but said women may not fit Sougata's description, or 3) they've mistaken "quiet" or "unpopular" for "nice," when really they aren't necessarily the same, because being quiet could mean they have poor social skills, are cowardly, are secretly plotting to blow up the building, etc. <BR/><BR/>As for shirtsleeves, hells yeah, ever since I was 18 and took a philosophy course.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19888999.post-1898412542500385192008-05-12T05:14:00.000-07:002008-05-12T05:14:00.000-07:00One lives and learns.And gives thanks for the peac...One lives and learns.<BR/><BR/>And gives thanks for the peace of old age.<BR/><BR/>J.A.P.J.
