That's what a fanboy is, I'd say a geek (which i sometimes class myself as) is a person with a healthy appetite for most things sci-fi and/or fantasy
I personally read a crap load of comic titles, watch TV programmes like Stargate, Star Trek, Buffy, Angel, etc, etc......
I don't limit myself to these forms of entertainment.... i read books, watch documentaries, go to the gym, play golf and love playing poker.... but as my level of knowledge on sci-fi and fantasy is far above the norm i consider myself a geek

I can work with that. However I was being more direct on comic-book geek than geek in general.
In other words, I was just trying to clarify my definition of a comic book geek rather than a atypical geek.
Also clarifying the difference between a comic book nerd rather than a normal nerd.

I'm a 129 which apparently is above average...I never seem to show it though, maybe I'm just good at tests.
Im into comic very much, im a Marvel zombie and im into movies,otherwise I wouldnt be in this forum. Im very popular and evrybody thinks im "cool peoples". Im also whats considered in the 70's Show as "man-pretty", I get laid too much i would say(lol, I dont like to brag but its been a good year so far), theres nothing better than read a good comic or Wizard after a good sex session, lol. I guess theres a time for everything and in my case I know a lot of people that are into different things, comics, movies, sports, cars. So am I a nerd, No, Im a simple guy that likes to keep his mind sharp, informed. I see comics as a form of art not something for kids.

You're probably a overweight, middle-aged man sitting in his mother's basement with a pair of goggles on and a cape. Whenever you say you get laid too much that's the impression I get. 😆
Just kidding. 😉 I'm certain you are pretty but bare in mind one thing:
Women like men who look and act like women. It's the truth. 😆
😮 Boy, I hope he can take a joke.

Then why u having a fit about it. I dont have to lie anything. I only find it amazing that most people that dont read comics finds us the ones that do as nerds just because they dont share our interests. If u saw me in the street you wouldnt think i know shit about comics, most women that i meet gets surprised when they see me reading a Spider-Man comic book. So was it necessary for me to point that i get laid on a regular basis? maybe, maybe not but if im considered a nerd because i read comic books, then yes i am. Do i fit the the "nerd" profile? NO. In closing I would like to apologize to Mr.Mother Teresa if he got offended by my comments.

FYI: I hit the gym 5 times a week, Im not middle-aged and the pair of googles and capes u asked for them back, lol. Isnt ironic that what u described me as is what most people think of people who read comic books look like, sadly there are a few like that but not all of us.
