Nerd or not? The sexcapades of Leonard H.

[Vlad the emailer]

I absolutely love TBBT - possibly my favorite sit com ever (and I'm old), but one thing I wish was different is that Leonard is supposed to be a geek/nerd, but he gets more action (and with very hot women) than at least a thousand real nerds combined.  There are even babes like Sheldon's assistant Alex and the one at the comic book store that basically throw themselves at him (I only see syndicated episodes, there may be more in recent seasons).

Sorry, but if the guy is supposed to be a nerd them let him be a nerd and have Penny be the one babe that he not only gets a chance to date, but ends up marrying.  The part sex/love God part nerd thing is just too unrealistic.

Why? Can't "nerds" have active sex and dating lives?

They can, they just get catanic when dealing with good looking women.

I think that's a vast generalization. The show has used those stereotypes, but that doesn't mean they can't break them and have a "nerd" who attracts women.

That was a joke as indicated by my laughing guy. Nerds are like regular guys, 1) Creepy guys, 2) Guys with issues and 3) Decent guys who treat women with respect and not as potential notches on their bedposts.
