Similar to the Napoleon complex. A
nerd complex is defined as the less attractive the
nerd is to the opposite sex, the higher opinion the
nerd holds of itself as to their capabilities in nerd culture (programming, compiling, quoting star wars, being good at video games, understanding science and technology).
The uglier or fatter the
nerd, the more intelligent they insist they must be, in order to compensate for the fact that they are un-fuckable. Unable to face the fact that there is no direct correlation between ugly and genius and they are no more capable than a handsome
nerd.
"There must be a reason why I'm like this"
"I'm absolutely disgusting and girls
will never touch me, that's because god made me a super genius, the likes of Linus Torvalds or Stephen Hawking."
"Wow that guy's got a serious
nerd complex, I write better code than this
dork but girls still tug on my hammer here and there."
