Wow, jwbot is cool.
All this dork-loving has got me all misty-eyed. I'm a big fan of the dork myself. To me a dork should be laid back enough to laugh at himself and be cool, but also be able to take a strong position and defend it when need be. Kind of a "dork in shining armor," you might say. And you know dorks are going to be honest - hell, what's to lie about? So yeah, I like a funny, honest, down-to-earth, good ol' fashioned dork.
And kudos to joannadandy for making that first observation!
Maybe the reason some of you like "dorks" or "nerds' is because you still want to be with a Jehovah's Witness.
Hardly!
Like JWbot, there wasn't one JW guy I was attracted to...well that's not true, plenty of eyecandy but nothing of substance I wanted to settle down with. Empty drones mostly. I have no time for people who must first consult with a body of elders, my field service time card, or a stack of handbooks before he can ask me out.

Baby you're gettin me all hot and bothered now!! "Dork in shining armor" *drools*
Just doin' my dorkly best!
I do and say silly things that "cool" people wouldn't. like I fart on my loved ones and laugh for a good ten minutes. hehe but I am so very proud of my weirdness :)
Okay well maybe I stand corrected, JW. I would think you are more weird than dork but then I am very drawn to a certain kind of weird person. As I always say, when I was growing up my family was the Addams Family of the neighborhood. Kids used to look at me and say, "You're weird." At the time I didn't understand that I should have taken it as a compliment.

I'm attracted to the kind that are like my dad. He was/is macho tough, demanding agreement w his views, in order to get his approval. Affection and acccess was never really given by him. So, as a kid, i was always running after a carrot, just out of reach. Contradiction was/is enterpreted by him as defiance/rebellion/insult, and was/is punished. I'm glad there are thousands of miles between us.
I always had a tendency toward friends/girlfriends a bit like that, uninterested in normal, relaxed, open people. Since i recognised that in me, i have worked on it, attempting to transcend to a deeper, purer level.
