Do you have a nerd crush? Someone you have the hots for based solely on brains/personality, not taking looks into account?

My top nerd crushes are:

1) Sir Richard Branson
2) Kai Ryssdal from NPR's Marketplace
3) Dr. Billy Goldberg, host of ER Radio on Sirius XM
4) Bill Murray
5) Mark Twain (if he were alive)

I hooked up with a Misty one time. She was not a nerd. Very southern actually, and the first girl that I know of that I'd been with who'd had a kid naturally. Not sure why she was into me but I recall being very drunk and only occasionally able to muster anything beyond half mast. She was really sweet though, soulful, and hot in that skinny homegrown Christina Ricci kinda way. Ah, Misty, I hardly knew ye

Do Erin Burnett (CNN, formerly CNBC) or Kari (Mythbusters) count?

8/24/2012 10:27:27 PM

Qntmfred has a crush on himself.

Was thinking of this thread yesterday when Kai Ryssdal pronounced Kid Cudi as "Kid Cooty" ... he suddenly lost an ounce of hotness. I literally facepalmed while driving.

11/6/2012 1:29:00 PM

not sure what a kid cudi is, but "kid cooty" sounds about right

11/6/2012 1:34:01 PM

wouldn't being somewhat ignorant of pop culture be consistent with nerd traits?

11/6/2012 1:35:08 PM

For an NPR host, it's inconsistent and a fail. He's typically on point.

11/6/2012 1:35:54 PM

is it "cuddy", instead? or C-U-D-I? or "cutie"?

11/6/2012 1:36:06 PM

yep! cuddy
