[Big Bang Theory]

[(Anonymous)]

Well, she's a microbiologist, so that helps, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Bernadette's not a geek. She's a smart girl, but she's not into geeky stuff. Good try, though.

[lovelycudy]

This. Penny is the one that gets all in-love after reading Thor comics. I like Penny.

[(Anonymous)]

I also liked when they came back from the Arctic and Penny made a reference to the new Star Trek movie and Sheldon freaked out that he missed it. Because she would have had to go out of her way to see since the guys were all away.

[(Anonymous)]

Being geeky about microbiology and Disney princesses isn't being a geek because it isn't Star Trek and D&D? Okay then.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll give you the Disney Princesses (although I honestly got the idea that she really only cared because Howard wanted to roleplay for sex) but the microbiology thing seems more nerdy to me than geeky.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree and then I don't. Generally speaking if you start reading from a young age (which implies that you're gifted), your eyesight is going to suffer from it. Hell, I started reading at four and my eyesight was crap by 14 (and it's now been 10 years since I've started wearing glasses). While I do agree that the whole trope of glasses on a pretty girl being shorthand for her being a nerd (I would not call Bernie a geek, btw) is stupid and played out, I think it's got a realistic basis.

And there, incidentally, a correlative link between IQ and myopia. http://www.iovs.org/content/45/9/2943.full

[(Anonymous)]

I was reading at 2.5, have read actively my entire life, and don't need any form of vision correction.

[(Anonymous)]

Well thank got you set us all straight. I can throw away the glasses I've worn all my life now!

[(Anonymous)]

1. Not everyone who reads early is gifted.
2. Not everyone who is gifted reads early.
3. Reading doesn't cause myopia.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

+2 Yeah, reading a lot and watching tv affecting eyesight is a myth.

[(Anonymous)]

did you regularly read just after waking up, in dim light, etc.? because, just reading shouldn't damage your eyes if you're taking good care of them (unless you have something genetic, not getting a certain nutrient, etc.)

[(Anonymous)]

No, reading close and watching tv sitting close doesn't affect your eyesight. That's a myth.

[(Anonymous)]

Citation seriously needed. Google provided me with no studies backing that statement up that early reading age = glasses, and my personal experience directly contradicts that statement.
I hypothesize that your eye sight would have gone bad no matter how much or how early you started reading and you're mistaking coincidence with causation.

[(Anonymous)]

dude I started reading long before kindergarten and longed for glasses to the extent that I used to read in the dark as a child and I still have 20/10 vision.

[(Anonymous)]

I read obsessively all my childhood and didn't need glasses.

Once I started doing a computing degree, that's when my eyesight turned to shit.

[dinogrrl]

I thought it was just glasses in general that = geek, not specifically chicks with glasses. Either way, yeah, it's aggravating. And yeah, she's one of my favorite characters too :p.

[making_excuses]

She is not a geek both the girls with glasses are not geeks and have no interest in geeky stuff*, only Penny is at times interested in geeky stuff, and she does not need glasses.

*With like one exception, and that passed pretty quickly

[(Anonymous)]

It's the same way for men... and it's a trap. As someone who has a natural attraction to geeks and who happens to think glasses are sexy, perhaps because of said stereotype, I have been fooled before by someone wearing glasses who was not "family".

But there are an awful lot of geeks who opt for glasses over contacts, possibly because glasses are a point of geek pride and solidarity.

Also, buff dudes who wear glasses are HOT. That is all.

[(Anonymous)]

They are hot.

[(Anonymous)]

contact lenses are very expensive compared to getting one pair of glasses and wearing the same one for years. i'd wager that's why a lot choose glasses.

[seventh_seal]

Well, of course this secret would lead to people boasting about how early they could read and how many books they've read :D
