sure "geek" and "nerd" usually means they lack social skills.. but thats the OLD meaning. it no longer means that. Besides i know some people that dont' fit any either category and lack the social Skills. Geeks are always gaming with each other.. thus the social skills are actually raised... as they are.... WITH PEOPLE..
I play RPGS.. and i'll admit there are some people that still carry, "The LooK" which is that physical attire that people see and give everyone else a bad name. I don't look like that, and i bet many do not. We're cool, we have social skills. Heck i'm a Geek, yet i spend tons of time talking to friends online all the time. If I didn't have social skills.. then i wouldn't well.. be able to talk to so many people daily.
