When creating my dating profile on Tinder, I quite innocently/jokingly put Weird Al’s - White and Nerdy song as my anthem. Didn’t think much of it, besides being in good humour.
However, got quite a few messages from guys wanting to do a ‘nerd test’ on me, some mentioning it in their first message. I always found it really condescending and inline with ‘girls can’t be nerds’ stereotype. Depending on my mood I would just unmatch them or call them out on it.
Talking with some female friends of mine, they told me I might be overreacting, and just assuming malice, that the guys might be awkward with their words. And now I am confused what to think.
