You know you've missed them

Should this make me feel better about myself?

The Poser Geek
You answered 60% of the questions as a geek truly would. As a poser geek, you're trying too damned hard. There's a strong possibility that you think you're a geek because you own your own computer, however you're truly missing the bigger picture. You aspirations of being a geek mainly come from your friends, who are probably slightly cooler.

Get rid of those thick black-rimmed glasses. Being a geek isn't about style, it's about substance!

So what's this all mean? It means you're probably a pretty cool person. You've probably got social graces and are well liked by many people. While not a complete conformist, you do prefer to follow along with popular culture. True geeks probably laugh at you behind your back.

In a nutshell, you answered most question how you thought a geek WOULD answer, but your misconceptions deceived you. Truth is, 60% of people are geekier than you.

Rebuttal
I have to say, I answered all the questions as truthfully as I could. Yes, I had to guess on the gamer questions. Apparently I guessed well enough to be a poser. But I definitely have some geekiness/nerdiness to me. My life has been lived in band, after all. :)

I certainly don't feel like I'm trying too hard. In fact, I don't try at all. And my glasses certainly aren't horn-rimmed or black. Ah well. I can live with being 40% geek. I think. I'm just glad I was finally able to do one of those Ok Cupid quizzes. My computer always flipped out on them before.
