And...
And speaking of gross bros thinking of nerd girls like fucking unicorns…
I was actually talking to a female client once about cannon-fannon and how much I love listening to her talk comics, and had a male client interupt us to tell me he has never met a chick that is into comics before, he’s never even heard of a girl being into comics before, and he has always wanted a nerdy girlfriend and that i absolutely MUST give him her number.
I actually had to explain to him that I wasn’t joking when I said she was out of his league.
Yes, she is incredible, she is beautiful, she is intelligent, successful, highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about comics, and she’s also not even going to look twice at you because literally all you got is that she fulfills a fantasy of yours.
Yes bro i get it, she’s your ideal girl.
Trust me, she’s a lot of people’s ideal girl. And you’re not even on her radar. You’re not special because you’re into comics. She has a very wide range of potential partners to choose from and ‘never having met a nerdy girl before’ isn’t a good character trait, because it means you know zero women. Or zero women have trusted your creepy ass with the knowledge that they are into comics.
The most concerning part of that entire conversation was his complete inability to grasp the concept that she wouldn’t date him and his insistence that she would.
He insisted that I give her name/number/fb/actually call her and ask her to come to the studio (wtffff???) because he needed to meet her.
And then just could not fathom that I refused.
He seemed to be running on this idea that if she met him, she would like him. For no other reason than that he was into comics and he wanted a nerd girlfriend.
And I was somehow out of line for refusing to give my best freinds deets to this creepy nerdbro because I couldn’t possibly know that she wouldn’t be into him.
He got really upset.
He was in my studio for 45 mins arguing with me on and off about this and trying to push me into giving her number.
Out. Of. Your. League. Not on your level. Too fucking good for you. Not a possibility. You’ve got nothing she wants. You’re one of literally thousands who would want her. You have nothing to offer her. You tick zero of her boxes. You do not even meet the minimum requirements for me to even ask her.
NOT
HAPPENING
MATE.
This is why women don’t say they’re women in WoW, this is why women don’t say they’re into games irl. This is why women don’t hang out in comics stores. This is why nerd women hide one of these two aspects of themselves when interacting with nerd men.
Because you creepy as FUCK about us.

i cant actually tell if ur joking or not, please be joking
Too good for him? How about she’s a human being who deserves her privacy and not to have her contact info given out to creepy strangers willy-nilly. I’m not saying the OP did wrong, they were 100% right not to give into this guy’s demands, but it almost sounds like the friend’s personal information would have been thrown around like confetti if she were less successful, less desirable etc. and if the guy were more in her “league.” I wish people would stop perpetuating the idea of some imaginary hierarchy of people (which idea in turn fuels the persecution complex of asshat nerds like the guy in the OP) and go with, no, you are not entitled to a woman’s time or attention because you want her.
i literally would never have given her deets out without her permission lol? and im talking about *her* standards, as in shes my bff i know what she’s looking for from a potential parnter and what she absolutely does not want, and he didnt even reach the bare minimum for me to mention him to her as anything other than ‘you wont guess what new levels of creepy were acheived in my shop today’
and if by some alignment of the planets someone did come in who fit the critera for possibly being interesting to her, expressing interest in meeting her and not carrying on like a fucking creep (although i honestly dont know how that would even work) then i might consider telling her about him. Thats it. Thats the level of ‘in’ anyone gets. I inform her of their existance.
I would literally hurl myself into traffic rather than give out ANYONES private contact details fuck
no you know what i’m not done
“

no. just no. there is NOTHING WRONG with girls having fucking standards, women saying and knowing and thinking that they deserve better than to settle for some peice of shit fuckboy who struggles with basic concepts like boundaries and respect.
men’s entitlement and nerd boys persecution complex bullshit
IS
NOT
WOMENS
FAULT
that’s their own fucking shit. thats their own failure and it is not the obligation of women and girls to provide emotional labor so that emotionally stunted and immature men can grow as fucking people
