I work for Abercrombie. All day long I get to work alongside the cutest boys. We joke around, gossip, flirt shamelessly, dance in the stockroom on break. Admit it, you're so jealous that I get paid to hang out with hot members of the opposite sex. Don't be. At the end of the day, I wouldn't want to go home with one of them. They are catty (and STRAIGHT), manipulative, self-centered narcissists. As much fun as they are to look at and be friends with, anything more would wear me down.

Now, if I'm not into sexy men, who do I have a soft spot for?

NERDS. I love them. But cute ones. A little awkwardness goes a long way in order to make it into my heart. My best first kiss ever? With an awkward frat boy who seemed to keep missing the right moment in our conversation. My best night ever? When I got locked in an attic with a bad doorknob with a sort of dorky but totally hilarious Econ major. Biggest crush? A business major that even my dorky guy friend Kev calls a nerd. I LIKE NERDS.

Now why? Because nerds are unpretentious. They have things other than their looks and egos to tend to. They may be awkward, but they are more willing to make time to see you and are overall more real. How many of you have had a crush on the sexy person who thought they were just too sexy for their shirt AND everyone around them? They can make a fun friend, but wouldn't it get old having to chip away at that in order to get to the person inside? Yeah, I thought so. Nerds can be cute, even hot, but they are oblivious to it and have some outside thing that means more to them (Computer programming, anyone? Maybe a little too many sports stats for even manly men?) You know you want them.

Bottom line: The best men are not on the cover of the Abercrombie catalog, they're in the front of your Econ lecture.

Bottom line for nerds: CALL ME!
