Re: The portrayal of nerds in the media....
"Has anybody considered how nerds are portrayed in popular media?"
Yes, I have. It's bullshit. No way would Howard get with Bernadette AND THERE AIN'T NO WAY Penny would get with Leonard.
I've tried all of the crap in my youth when it came to getting a girlfriend, being an overweight geek. Joined the school choir, nothing. Wrote music, nothing. Walked a girl I fancied home, nothing.
TV LIES!
