Where is the "all 3" option?

I thought about it but my nerdiness made me force the voters to choose only one.

I'm too stupid to be a geek and I'm too good looking to be considered a nerd so dork it is.

Geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc."

Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age-inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers, or will tend to associate with like-minded people.

Dork is a pejorative slang for a quirky, silly and/or stupid, socially inept person. Often confused with nerd and geek, but does not imply the same intelligence level.

This thread delivers! And I voted nerd. I'm equally a geek and much less so a dork.

 

[TridenT]

Geek probably. I'm not socially inept nor would I rather engage in activities that are non-social. I like meeting some people.

About as far as you can get externally. 100% geek on the inside.

 

[videogames101]

Geek for sure.

Geek. I never got made fun of in High School but those people who would've will be working for me when I'm older.

[Balt]

I'm a dork. Not smart enough to be a nerd, not enough gadgets to be a geek.

 

[meltdown75]

[darkxshade]

Loser and Troll should be an option as well

 

[disappoint]

What are the differences?

Geek: Rich, but not necessarily smart
Nerd: Smart but not necessarily rich.
Dork: Strange, quirky, bad sense of humor, I suppose neither smart nor rich just...different.

As for which I am, in real life, if you really knew me, you would say I'm a know it all. The guy who's always right and irritates the hell out of anyone more than any of those 3 types could.

On the boards...I am...well you can figure out what I am.
