Nerd Appeal 

The attractiveness that one may have for being intellectual. Characterized by goofy but cute looks, off-beat interests, above average intelligence, and a sweet and caring personality. A sense of attractiveness which is derived chiefly from personality and less from aesthetics.
"Hey Lafonda...that boy know all about politics!"

"Aw and with his cute little smile...what nerd appeal!"

"That boy in our economics class has some serious nerd appeal."

"I know right?! He gets 100% in our class...and he totally held the door for me the other day."

Nerd appeal is having your pants hangin below so your bloomers show. Having your hat to one side(like someone slaped you upside the head) or the other, you know nerds they think if it looks stupid it must be cool. Wearing shorts too long. Yea you know nerds they wear their pants too short and their shorts too long. Not always having a pocket protector.
Yo, see that nerd, he needs a mommy to help dress him and pull his pants up for him, now that is nerd appeal!
