I personally identify as a nerd. I dress quirkily but have style and color coordination, I can socialize without being totally awkward, I have friends, we are a clique and not "friends out of desperation". I like to party, and am decent looking, I work out, and I have sex regularly.. But yes, I wear glasses, and I do like to read quite a bit. I reddit, I play PS4emu plenty, I write poetry and attend poetry readings. I'll do cosplay occasionally and will be perfectly fine playing chess on a Friday night now and then. I embrace all of this. I'm a total NERD, and in my own nerdy way, I like to think I'm sort of cool.

Geeks are NOT nerds and they give us nerds a bad name. Geeks are losers, they can't dress, they have bad hygiene, they have like 150 Facebook friends and half of them are acquaintances, they're often obese, uncoordinated, and get really passionate and overexcited about unimportant details like if so-and-so is directing such-and-such movie. These are true geeks. They aren't nerds, and please for the love of the flying spaghetti monster stop conflating these terms. Thank you.
