This one’s for the ladies, a handy dandy guide on how to pick up your very own nerd.

That’s how to do akanbe, Japanese for “Sexy Nerd.” Actually, it’s a school girl taunt in Japan, the equivalent to “Neener, neener, nyah, nyah.” Simply pull down lower eyelid, stick out tongue, and watch the nerds come a calling. This facial gesture is geek catnip, so be careful.

However, as noted, other successful methods to pick up a nerd are: make eye contact, say hello, ask for pencil, sit next to, or be the opposite sex (or same sex). If you make yourself available to even the most hardcore of geeks, eventually they will put down the video game/manga/calculus text book, and take notice. The key is to be in their line of site when they do.
