Why are there so many fat geeks of either gender? Is it because they're all American? I'd expect the majority to be homely, but I'm always suprised by the amount of fatasses.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

[gobbledigook]

Because the videogame console that involves moving around and exercising(the Wii) only has shit games.

[ill_omened]

Anecdotally, American.

You certainly don't seem to see near the distribution here, despite being pretty fat for Europe.

Hell, our stereotype until fairly recently was unnaturally skinny and weedy.

[(Anonymous)]

What I've noticed is, in general, half of male geeks are obese and the other half are deathly skinny. I never see thin female geeks, and I don't mean thin in the "attractive" way. They're just always fat.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I see similar patterns in both genders. Either fat or gangly-skinny, with very few falling in between. Seems more extreme with guys, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen plenty of thin (and fat and everything between) female geeks, but in my experience the fat ones tend to be the loudest/most opinionated. Maybe that makes then more visible.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh... I've been to plenty of conventions and local geek haunts, the vast majority of people I see are average to slightly chubby. Honestly, I see way more overweight men than I do overweight women.

[pantswarrior]

*as a deathly skinny female geek, waves hello* Most of my friends I go to cons with are more thin than fat too, but they're a more healthy thin than me. :P

[ariakas]

No, female geeks have about the same body type distribution.

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect you don't go to conventions much. (Or non-anime conventions) I've seen a lot of very thin female geeks at conventions.

[(Anonymous)]

maybe some of them don't want to post pictures of themselves because an attractive woman in fandom is always called an attention whore/a faker/clearly only out for attention from guys? see this secret for an example.

[diet_poison]

Sadly, this.

[gabzillaz]

Yeah :/

[weekendoffender]

What is this?

Why are there so many fat geeks?
Why are there so many fat sports fans?
Why are there so many fat knitters?
Why are there so many fat...

You get the point. You only see a whole bunch of fat geeks because you're in fandom, which tends to attract geeky people.

[(Anonymous)]

Ta da! We have a winner!

[diet_poison]

Why are people actually taking this question seriously???

Geeks come in all sizes. I'm pretty average. So are a lot of my geeky/nerdy friends. Some are bigger than average, some smaller.

Anyway, I find this comment fairly offensive...not to mention perpetuating a nasty stereotype.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck you. Europe's full of fatasses, China's got obese kids, and Latin America's never been known for having particularly thin people.
