Attention.

[mekkio]

From whom?

If you wanted mass attention, you don't go do something that is so niche. You become a cheerleader or run for public office (or at least class president.) You don't do something that is still somewhat underground. (Certain geeks are still ostracized. Saying that you like the Marvel movies is one thing. Dressing up and running around in cosplay, especially in non-geek public will not exactly help you win pageant across the board.)

I guess the thinking is big fish small pond.

Like it's a lot easier for a fairly decent looking girl to get a lot of attention in a circle full of maladjusted nerds, then it would be for her to join a cheerleading squad and stand out there?

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough.

Sadly, she'll find out soon enough that there are good reasons why you don't *want* the attention of malajusted nerds. Guess it's a learning process.

I will give some credence to this one. I'm an actual geek, but you know... I'm like a 6 or 7 on the 1 to 10 hotness scale. And I'm not overweight, but I'm not petite either.

I'm way more likely to wear something skimpy or a costume (for a character I genuinely love) that's more revealing at a convention than I would at a Halloween party. And part of that is because I know that a majority of the other con girls are going to be less attractive than me, so I'm better able to get away with dressing up like, say, Black Canary, than I would with a non-geek crowd.

But that doesn't mean I'm not a geek or that I want to be groped by strangers. It's just a comfort level.

Look, I'm a reasonably attractive person and a geek, and I 100% guarantee you that it's a lot easier to put on a black dress and a pair of heels and go into any fucking bar and get attention than it is to put together a good cosplay. And the attention you get in bars is a lot less creepy, entitled and judgemental.

[(Anonymous)]

OMG this. There's so much more incentive for attractive women to pretend they're not geeks, then to pretend they are.
