Though it may not seem it sometimes, we really do like women for more than their looks. Interests and personality are at least two-thirds of the picture when we're looking at women we actually like, when we can peel ourselves away from their sexy curves and long, silky hair, that is.
Recently we've had posts that question how normal girls can compete with the dolled up women we see in magazines and pr0n. The truth is this: you can't think about it that way. Those mediums give men the things they like to fantasize about - pictures of wild, sexy women who look like they'd be up for just about anything - even wheelbarrowing. But a guy who allows that image to dictate what he values in a woman is a guy who can't deal with reality.
Which brings me to my point: real women, intelligent, non-airbrushed, nerdy ones, are hot. Even some women we've genuinely accepted as possessing stunning beauty have been outed as down-to-earth nerds.
Don't believe me?
I think Mila Kunis sort of grew on everybody. Firstly, she landed her role as Jackie on That 70's Show when she was only 14, after lying to the directors during her audition. So not only does she have balls, but there was a reason for us not realizing she was so awesome until recently - she was pretty much just a kid for the first several years she was in the national spotlight.
Secondly, she's an actress who portrays characters that seem to constantly be the butt of everyone else's jokes. As Jackie, just about everyone found her annoying. As Meg, she's treated like dirt on a daily basis. She must have an excellent sense of humor to be able to play those kinds of roles.
Lastly, she's openly admitted to playing World Of Warcraft. Beautiful, intelligent, funny, AND she plays video games. Can someone please explain to me how she isn't perfect? (Aside from the fact that she's dating Macaulay Culkin?)
At first glance, Jenna Fischer might not seem like your typical nerd/babe. She plays the somewhat quiet, often conservatively dressed Pam on The Office, played supporting roles in comedy films like Blades of Glory, and as it turns out, has also done a bit of writing and directing. By all accounts, she's a well rounded, accomplished woman.
Frankly, if girls are going to worry about who they have to compete with, I wouldn't be so worried about scantily clad models or pop stars. I'd be worried about people like Jenna. Sure, she's a famous actress, but take that away and she's still got the talent to direct, write and, judging by her roles, be funny.
Trust me, smart guys aren't wooed by looks alone. If there's no wit to keep your long, shapely legs upright, good guys won't go for you. But if that certain amount of charm is there, it'll be his knees going weak. Surprisingly enough, there seem to be plenty of ladies with sharp wit lurking around Mancouch these days, so maybe this isn't such a rare phenomenon.
Who are some other hot nerds that you adore?

Macaulay Culkin? But he's so pale and... ugly. He doesn't look very much alive. :x
@Agent_Spanky@xanga - but he's a wonderful actor
@BranmacFeabhail@xanga - haha I loved him in the Home Alone movies. I haven't watched any of his most recent though.
umm just b/c someone plays WoW does not make them a nerd
I'm a nerd and I don't play ANY videos games. A nerd actually means you spend more time with your laptop doing hw or studying than anything else.
Hey hey don't talk about Macaulay Culkin! He is adorable.
xo
Well Mila technically didn't lie, they asked her if she is 18 and she said she will be, they never asked her to specify WHEN she would be 18.
why does everyone equate 'nerds' to 'video games'?
anyway.
..i have a penchant for pam. i love pam.
Okay, I'd like to get it out that girls know that. That's why I hate seeing movies about the smart, funny, cute girl thinking that she's not good enough because she doesn't have six foot long legs.
WE. FUCKING. KNOW. that we are better, but sometimes there are those men that actually do prefer a brainless model of a woman.
And they are the ones making the girls hide in a shell.
But anyway, I love Jennifer Tilly. She's fucking gorgeous and she owns at poker.
nerdy hawt women unite. hey man i can walk the walk since my IQ is genius level. not shitting anyone.
To me, nerdy IS hot. The typical "hot" isn't my idea of "hot."
LOL i'd go crazy over a comic book nerd, hahaha. isn't megan fox a closet case nerd as well?
brainy ladies are hot.
If women would simply remember the male half of the species has a signifigant section of his brain devoted to the visualization task. Whether its map locations, color retention or pattern recognition, sight rather than sound is the main sense input.
Regardless of how equal the PC want to make the sexes, we have fundamental design differences between the ears as well as between the legs!
Any successful woman has to be smart to make it to begin with - you make your own luck. If she happens to be sexy too, that's just another endorsment she can carry to the bank....
I don't know if they equate, but I know I'm nerdy. And geeky. Star Trek anyone?
lying = brave = ballsy? is that supposed to be a masculine trait? no dude. plucky girls have mad ovaries. =p
Macaulay Culkin is beautiful in a inanimate object way. He's just beautiful but I wouldn't consider him attractive. I also wouldn't consider Mila a nerd. You just can't engage in one nerdy activity to qualify as a nerd. You got to do more than that. I also wouldn't consider Pam or Jenna a nerd, either.
Kristin Kreuk, because she's rarely ever in the limelight and seems to spend all her time reading and organizing female empowerment workshops.
olivia munn!!
she's probably the most perfect girl ever, funny, smart, she's a host of a show on G4, she likes comic books and video games. if i was a dude i'd rather have her poster on my wall than these chicks. need i say more? vvvvolivia-munn-photos-4.jpg@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - Marry me
@CakeGuy@xanga - HAHA. Do you watch Star Trek? Star Trek, not Star Wars.
Kari from Mythbusters is so hot! I love her hair...
most nerds who salivate over women just have shitty taste in women.
most "nerdy women" who "confess to playing WoW" are probably liars who just want attention; would they REALLY be that hot and nerdy if they were able to make it to 50th in their server? NO.
Good post but i wouldn't classify actresses as smart women, some may be but then why would they need their looks to make a living if they brains were enough? I just don't understand why so many girls want to become an actress/ model/ singer/ artist. And hot and nerdy/smart women are everywhere, never seen them on university campus?
I think people are confusing glamourous and hot, a lot of girls in tv shows and such are not that pretty but we always see them all glamed up. And some nerdy girls might dress poorly but have hot(ter) bodies underneath. But I dunno just a thought.
Hail!
I'm a closet nerd. LOL
