In high school i had more respect for the so called 'nerds' than the popular 'cool' guys. The nerds didn't seem to care what people thought and did what they wanted regardless of whether it was cool or not. The popular guys were too busy looking cool and generally being assholes. I know its a bit stereotypical to label people cool or nerds but i would rather talk to a nice nerd, cool people intimitade me.

Well, it's very possibly they can win out, particularly if they make something of themselves. Though it's quite generalizing...I mean nerds? vs the popular? kid. When it comes to getting married...yes, a woman would want someone who is more secure, safe. Doesn't necessarily have to be a nerd though.

Most to all "nerds"- smart guys end up having good jobs and are secure financially, which is pretty much what women look for the most (I took a biology class on this, so don't hate on me those who might take offense to that comment).
The so-called "popular" guys aren't usually that smart, but are usually good-looking. But then again, looks can only take you so far, and let's face it, there are quite a few "nerds" who have good looks as well. they would have more to offer ... it comes down to personality, but not really part of this question.
And those "popular" guys would more likely jump around to many different girls anyway to keep their ego inflated.

When I was growing up I never understood the American system of "cool". From what I'd seen on television (and in this thread) in American high schools cool is the guy that is "popular" and plays sport, or is a "jock" :lol:
Where I went to school, none of that means shit. Whos the toughest, whos got the most boys to bring if theres a fight, whos got the reputation on the street outside of school, thats whos cool. If you open your mouth because your a "jock" youl sooner get your head kicked in than be surrounded by cute cheerleaders :lol:
My mate, he wasnt a nerd, but he was someone that no one really took much notice of. No one really pushed him around that much, because he was low key. Anyway, was one of the schools best football players. Now he plays at the highest level of proffesional competition, the NRL, equivelent to Americans NFL. He still lives in the same neighbourhood. Still not considered "cool" by anyone.

Females marry for money. That is why it looks like the nerds win, but they really don't. The females are no more attracted to them then they were when they were in their prime. It's just that now females want a children. They'll still cheat on the nerd with the cool good looking guy.

Me, too. I connect much more quickly to people who aren't so preoccupied with being "cool." I have an easier time talking to them, and generally just enjoy their company. Definitely more so than the popular get-drunk every-night-after-class crowd.
As a girl, I would hate to be with the popular, snotty guy who would probably only cheat on me eventually anyway. The popular guys seem to be the ones who forget to treat women with respect so much more often than the non-popular guys.

Isn't that a bit of a generalization? I'm a female, and no, I don't plan on marrying for money. Most of us don't, as a matter of fact. We want a lot of things in a husband, and although money is important in a financially insecure world, it's not the first thing I think of when I think about marriage. Most of us females want love, not money. I'd rather be happy and living in an average home than be miserable and rich because I chose the wrong guy.
