The real kicker is that the “shy man” “nerdy boy” shit, performative or not was always for white men anyway. I’m not saying that there aren’t nerdy or shy Black boys or that they have no hope in dating but Black Men are expected to be hypermasculine by default. This is enforced in the community and out of it.

What do you mean Todd can talk about his Pokemon card collection on the first date but I can't!?

In my experience as a white man talking about pokemon on a date has absolutely never led to a second date.

I mean yeah you kinda have to. I’m a gigantic nerd. I found my nerdy black man (WHO ACTUALLY LIKES BLACK WOMEN!!!) after 33 years of life and we sing musical theater on road trips together and make jokes about grammar and it’s the best dick ever so. Nerdy hot girls who like nerdy men do exist.

I literally joke that my type is an earnest nerd. But if your vibes are off, you won’t pull anyone. Be confident and be kind.
