Video Games are sports with more imagination and less work. So in all reality if Gamers = nerds, Jocks = Nerds. Pretty simple concept.
Why are gamers called nerds?

Usually because they play games too much or that's their life and have nothing else to do.

Errr, what? Really? Didnt noticed anything like that in my surrounding, really. And if someone spend most of his day playing games, and talks only about them, dont think they will call him normal.

*Sigh*Nerd [Nurd]-noun Slang.1. a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.2. an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.ASSUMING you're intelligent, we move to the second definition. As a gamer, you sacrifice your social life for games. Also, casuals don't deserve to be called gamers.

I think it`s because we are nerds.But honestly, nerds are the people who get rich and date hot girls. Do you think anyone anywhere in the real world cares about high school basketball? No, but they do care about computer skills and knowledge. If anyone makes fun of you and calls you a nerd, just be happy knowing he`ll probably be pumping gas into your Ferrari someday, begging you to let him polish your shoes. My friends all get offended if you imply that they`re NOT nerds.

That's generalizing I think. Not all people who play games are ostracized, but I suppose there is a large group of which is. It's the package I think, being smart, playing computer games, not socializing? Which is different, so I guess some people like to point it out and laugh, 'cos it floats their boat. Can't really see why though.

Everyone is a gamer at my school.You don't have to be smart to play, so I [and the people I know] don't consider gamers to be nerds.But if one tends to obsess over certain games, he or she is considered to be a geek.

Haha I don't look or act like a nerd, I just learned a lot about video games from my cousins and my brother. Video games are for every group. So no idea why they are called nerds....well except if they are people who dont go out into the sunlight and they forget all human contact for video games....then I can see where the term got made up.

I take great pride in my nerdyness, as do my friends. People often tried to make fun, and find reason to dislike us at school...but, they soon learned we aren't as lame as they think. Don't let people bring you down for who you are, embrace the nerd/geek in you, cause we kick bum.

please don't use the term "nerd," if they don't like to have fun like we do, that's their F***ing problem, i just don't get why "they" don't understand the fun of it, so i'd say that they are just stupid to not understand the greatness of games. so forget those who reject, they don't know what they are missing in on.
