Nerds have been considered as, up until recently, very undesirable people. Contrary to this idea, I've found them to be among the most loving, understanding and desirable people on this earth. Here's eight reasons why you should always choose the nerd:

1. They worship you.

Dating the nerd is a different experience because they aren't like the players. They haven't been trained to get only one thing from a girl. If the nerd is with you, he's there because he likes you on the inside, and that shows.

2. They're thoughtful.

He's going to think of every detail. Dating a nerd is a nice change because he'll think before he acts. Nerds are analytical, they can sense how you're feeling and anticipate how to resolve it for you.

3. They're fun.

The good nerds spend a lot of their time playing video games and watching movies. Dating the nerd gives you the best of both worlds because you have an adult man who plays no games, but who also enables you to reminisce in your childhood.

4. They love wholeheartedly.

Basically every video game or movie with any real story line involves romance. Nerds don't need to get around your entire school to know how to treat you right, because they've been learning about real love their whole lives.

5. They text back.

It might take ten minutes for his League of Legends match to be over, but you won't be competing with 20 other girls for his attention on a Saturday night.

6. They're hilarious.

Dating a nerd is never dull. Their jokes are usually pretty vulgar, and you might get sick of the endless references to internet memes and Claptrap from Borderlands, but you wont be bored.

7. They're great cooks.

Nerds were the unintentional inventors of hangover food. From a young age, they stayed up all night playing video games, and without their parents to make them something to eat at 3 a.m., they had to get creative. A nerd is someone who will never cook you something healthy, but who really cares?

8. They're underdogs.

Everyone loves a good underdog story, right? Nerds are the ones who society tells us are undesirable, but when they becomes successful- that completely reverses. It's extremely wrong to overlook someone their entire life until they're deemed desirable by society's standards.
