those who inhabit the internet and talk about video games, and complain about stupid crap that the average populous doesn't care about.

All of the definitions above. Someone who vents their bitterness on Urban Dictionary like a passive-aggressive wimp because they were always chosen last in gym class.
They have a few false beliefs, such as convincing themselves that they are geniuses (watching anime doesn't make you a genius. John Nash was a genius.) and that their social ineptitude is other people's fault. They use the old "I will be more successful" mantras like it isn't an obvious defense mechanism, and is a very broad assertion that isn't true.

Some nerds alleviate their insecurities by refusing to believe that people who have actually had sex before can accomplish something in life, too.

Much unlike to some of the things written on here, a nerd is a TYPE OF PERSON. Whilst there are various personalities to a person, what defines a nerd is what interests them and whether they pursue their interests.
Whilst stereo-types are described as "Someone who wears a shirt, trousers much too above the waistline, glasses, ugliness, etc" this is perhaps the most retarded visual description of a nerd. Clearly, what the person looks like would not only have to apply to everyone with said label "nerd" but anyone with said description would have to be the stereo type of a nerd. A nerd will dress as to how they obviously want to. I've seen nerds that look like chavs already. I've seen nerds WITHOUT GLASSES, OR YOUR SO-CALLED "Pocket Protectors". Obviously, if a PERSON dresses like that, well, what can you do? Insult him because he cares about looking good in uniform?
Think about an interview. You being dressed like a complete and utter chav walking into the booth; your interviewer in full uniform and eyes how you caringly dressed for the occasion as a buisiness person. Your interviewer not only would be higher than you instead of equal, but will more likely think "well, if he can't be arsed to dress properly, how can we expect the job done well enough?"
And about a nerds actions; THEIR PERSONALITY IS WHAT DICTATES THIS! If one nerd is quiet like me, they CAN'T ALL BE! If one is annoying, whats to say the others will annoy you?
I've read that apparently "Nerds have trouble conversiving with the opposite sex". That's completely retarded; it means that they arn't very confident, and have low self esteem. Why? Because they openly admitted they liked certain things that the rest of the group either never heard of or don't really like, and so, instead of accepting that people have different interests and seeing whether you have some similarities or not, you decide to shun them entirely, and complain when they have no confidence?? You people make me sick.
Of course, mostly during secondary school, most of the time the teacher will set some form of creative activity. The majority will do a poster on A3 paper. A few will do a PowerPoint Presentation, But there will always be the bright spark, who had gathered all that "useless" knowledge and proposes the development of an animation(at this time of writing I am actualy developing a CG Animation for a Science presentation, how excessive!). There will be those who were impressed, who will openly admit that they wouldn't be able to do it, and of course, they'll be the chavs who say that he's such a nerd. The point is, his interest, not yours. What really matters is whether said nerd is a dickhead or an egotistic fucktard. If he is, than you can say that he spent too much time bragging. But if he is a nice person, you can't just insult him, it just makes you look jealous.
As for nerds not interested in girls, I bet you'd be VERY wrong there. Trust me, their people, and want to have someone too, but obviously, seeing as their lack of confidence hinders them, instead of complaining about how they won't get girls, why not give advice? Sovles the problem doesn't it?
Oh, and as for the difference between geeks and nerds, since everyone says either "Nerds have a social life and geeks don't" and "Geeks have the life, nerds don't" I think maybe this will clear things up: THEY'RE THE SAME DAMN THING.

Examples Of Nerd
LOL Myself: Well, if I decided to learn CG because it look cool, that can't be learned it school normally can it? :P
Anyone who goes on youtube and uploads a good video: Not in an insulting way, anyone who uploads a video with decent quality will understand the boundaries of quality. Most chavs I know will upload a video recorded with a mobile phone with the most retarded content ever.
Anyone who even handles a computer and knows what they're doing.

Kris thought he was a cool nerd, because he uses his computer to mainly download porn and be a hax0r!
He didnt think he was one of the geeks, who use their computer for messageboards.
(the point is, they are all the same)

General: A nerd is a person that that is generally defined as a social outcast. Nerds are usually defined as, "one whose IQ is greater than their weight". However, nerds are not always smart. They may vary in different ways. Read below for a detailed definition.
Age range: Could be ages 5-100. most commonly ages 12-24.
Physical Traits of a common nerd: This may vary. They tend to have unatractive qualities or characteristics like, Really skinny build, or really fat, Combed over hair or frizzy hair, acne, thick glasses, big eyebrows, no muscular traits whatsoever, freckles, Buck teeth, braces, carrying science books, pale complextion, (from being seldom outside, high voice, tend to drool often (because their mouth often hangs open), crappy shoes, have overalls -(however rare today), have high striped socks pulled all the way up, a pocket protector, have a Bowtie, or a plaid shirt, and have their hands clamped up like Seals.
Mental traits of a common nerd: Generally, a nerds behaviour often appears odd to others, and nerds rarely notice their odd or eccentric behaviour. For example, most nerds tend to not be interested in any sport(s) whatsoever. They are most commonly REALLY into video games and computers so much, that it becomes an obsession, and they dedicate their lives to it.
Games are the biggest thing amongst nerds, especially online games such as, Counter-Strike, Starcraft, Diablo 2, and dungeons and dragons. Don't get me wrong, nerds are in EVERY online game, just those are they key games that nerds tend to "flow" into.
Movies they are intersted in could be Star wars, Star trek. Lord of the rings,etc. Taste in movies is generally always a sci-fi genre.
Music that a sterotypical nerd would listen to is techno, or a tune with little or no beat or rythum, even though many nerds have better interests in music than that.
Generally bullied physically and verbally by popular kids, and jocks. Nerds tend to have extremely poor social skills, therefore becoming unpopular and disliked by others. Most nerds tend to call normal people "noobs" because they on't excell at computer gaming skill as much as they do, but most of them don't even have a girlfriend, or a social life, which means they are "noobs" in the real world.
Positive attributes of nerds: It may be the sad truth, but the world today is run by nerds! (well, the smart ones who actually do something with their life) They have dramatically changed our world today. Without them, there wouldn't be, satellite, Computers, video games, or internet. That's right this was actually all created and done by nerds. Notice the richest man in the history of the world happens to appear as a nerd? (Bill Gates) It may be fun to critisize nerds today, (even though I sort of am) But some of them may end up being your boss one day!

Urkal, Napolean Dynamite and George Mcfly in back to the future in the past are great examples of nerds.

These conversations are not true, but what a person thinks of a sterotypical nerd.
Nerd to Nerd:
Nerd 1: Salutations and greetings fellow earthling
Nerd 2: And to you, I got a new calculator watch that can fit up to 9 digits now!
