You can try going to barcrafts, join groups and forum meetups etc to fulfill your nerd friend needs but doesnt it contradict teh concept of friendship?

I mean really? Is it really a problem if your friend is not a nerd or a nerd? Yes you can choose who your friends would be but if you really want to have good friends you don't judge them,. You just take what they have to offer and see if they good people then you become friends with them. Yes it is better you have the same interest but not necessary. You can also have some friends for "A" and some "B" friends you can go with. Say A is gaming, B is for sports.

I had the same scenario once but came college I just said to myself, fuck them if I like video games, magic cards and play a member of the varsity team. It makes you well rounded. Makes you understand people better. If they are really my good friends they would judge me for that so what if I am a nerd? I am getting laid, I have a social life and I am happy. This turned out to be a good thing having 2 different lives. It sorted the true friends and the not.

Just make friends, it does not need to be labeled. You can try influencing you non nerd friends to be interested with your interest but you cant force them.



again not saying i dont have friends who arent nerd friends. I have 2 of my best friends are playing in the NFL this season for the Packers, and the Vikings, with another friend getting a full ride Scholarship to ASU in the fall to play football/baseball.

Not saying i shy away from non-nerd friends.

however this blog is about my lack of nerdy friends.

Personally, living in a very technologically and cultural backward country in terms of anything that is art related, I have had and will have this problem all my life. The closest you will get to a group of "gamers" here is a bunch of people that enjoy LOL on a daily basis tho they are very bad at it, unless you are bout 30-50 years old ( aka from the times where IC were a thing ).

I will simply "split" my nerdy hobbies by categories and talk about them to different people.
So although I can't find someone that I can talk to about all the "nerdy" things I like ( which is a really retarded classification I might add ): Starcraft, Diablo, WOW, RPG's,pen and papper, card games, SF books, fantasy books...etc. I will find people that like 1 or 2 of them and talk to different people about different things.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

well it is just sad because most of the good nerdy friends can be found in schools 1st in my opinion as they really cant avoid physical contact in school ( Again my observation as nerds tend to be shy and avoid physical contact unless they are totally comfortable with you or know/trust you already) I am assuming most of us nerds are shy and would prefer being online than going to parties.

However as I said, barcraft, forums, groups. Maybe try some local communities say local starcraft communities and stuff. Probably conventions but we nerds tend to be excited with the event and would not really be looking for friends. Start online and start with vents. Maybe the group could organize meetups and there you go.

hes not saying he is a shamed of having or not having nerd friends. he is just saying he would like some more friends to play the games he is interested in. thats not that odd. his friends might not be into the games he likes. most of my friends are the same way, gamers who just dont like the games i do

also i get the impression that the op has been out of school for a bit
