How to Make Guys Like You

[TheGeenious]

@phoenix39 I can't 'like' this from my phone. But god yes.

[KATIEthePANDAmonkey]

As a hopeless romantic nerd girl, I would love to go and find a nerd boyfriend. Alas, I go to an all girl's school and I've learned after three years of it that they are not ideal places to find boyfriends.

[ClkWrkDragonfly]

The problem, as I find it, with nerd girls is that a great many of them find their interest directed toward the self-hating kind of nerd boy who overcompensates for his lack of movie stereotype frat boy years & experiences by acting like one long past his prime. Or, on occasion, actual stereotypical frat boy types who just never grow out of those dubious "glory years".

[BlazingLightSword]

Yes, we can be needy... Very, very needy......

[notsogentleman]

I'm a nerd boy... and I fit his definition perfectly.

[phoenix39]

"The first way to become a giraffe. The second way is to become World of Warcraft." I had to pause because I was laughing so hard!

[SSdetectiveagency]

the more I listen to his relationship advice the more I feel like an alien because while his advice makes tons of sense I feel that either nerd boys don't exist where I live or they're too interested in the malnourished plastic bagged women or WoW to come out of hiding and mingle with the nerd girls.

[MsLaerBear]

I can't be a giraffe...but I can play WoW...does that count? :P Nerd boys and girls are highly underutilized in this world!

[MrsJasonRosen]

...I am a 15 year old girl named Catie...that just made this video weirdly personal...*sigh* if only this would work. All the guys at my school are rednecks, not nerds...sadness.

[QuantumDae]

Nerd boys do TO sparkle in the sunshine >_>

[IzzyLightwood]

YAY nerd boys, now just to find them!!!!!!!

[GfNitro]

"Katie I know that nerd boys don't sparkle in the sunshine" xD Awesome

[Evan42881]

U forgot Jango Fett.....

[calisurfergirl18]

hahaha im half of a nerdfigher couple and seriously, he is way better then any guy in the world. nerd guys are seriously the best! dftba!

[all0about0radiohead0]

Heyy ummmmm I'm a hot nerd...

[wormbelly31898]

i will always be proud of my dorky nerdyness! and how im with someone as nerdy and dorky as i am! woo! magic

[brighteyesrunner]

This was the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw. It it still one of my favorites. :)

[Tinwdeep]

I wish i had a nerd girl in my life. :(

[MsWhitekanna]

I am married to a nerdy man :D

NERD POWER!

[HeatherHiiccup]

proud of my nerdyness and my nerdy boyfriend

[ccconfetti]

NERD BOYS

[GOODGODWAT]

this was the first vlogbrothers video i ever watched. i instantly subscribed.

[predvcecerom]

just make me a sanwich and I'll like you :D but im not 15 :( can I still have my sanwich ?

[TaylorMarie831]

I want a nerd boy! :)

[AngieDNalalal13]

Needy? Is that really the worst thing you can think of to say about nerd boys?! WHERE DO I FIND SUCH RARE, AMAZING CREATURES?!?!

[cruelpeanut]

This was so weird because my names Katie and I'm 15.

[vanegasfandres]

@cruelpeanut lol XD



[DarianWulfbane]

Wonderful advice. Also, you've highlighted 2 of the reasons why my girlfriend is indeed, my girlfriend. 1) She is a hot nerd girl because she's a nerd girl and not afraid to admit that she's seen The Lord of the Rings trilogy dozens of times and 2) She's hot in the sense that she's that individual seems suitable for mating (and far from the alternative definition of "hot" given in the above video).

[4mayZing]

ee cummings ^_^

[mangoismycat]

Why are more than half of the related videos about animal sex?

[lyricalpraise]

2:44 this is true. <3 Nerd Boys.

[mooseman2626]

WHAT AWKWARD STUPID EYEFLUTTERY WHAT HAHAHAHAHA NO.

HA

HA

HA

NO

[TheFrancoPhiler]

@mooseman2626 clearly not a nerdfighter...

[mooseman2626]

@TheFrancoPhiler Sorry, just clarifying. I was kidding. Don't know if you were being sarcastic or not.

[theEnlivenment]

2:55 should be heard by every guy who wants a relationship. I know I love my nerd girl.

[misssharon89]

awesome XD

[FellToRise]

Nerd girls are EPIC!!!

And beautiful <3

[FellToRise]

"Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags inserted into her breasts?"

That doesn't seem healthy...

[BronteIsCool]

More often then not, nerd boy = socially inept boy.

[Wowgeek04]

Everyone feels awkward but its those moments that we look back at and they make us laugh. If you never feel awkward then there is most likely something wrong with you or your just pro. Nerd girls are awesome and i love my nerd girl!

[TDOX68]

HIGHLY AGREE!!! Coming from a self recognized Jock-Nerd Hybrid, Nerd girls are by far more interesting and more fun to interact with than your classic "empty head wanna-be" cheerleaders or attention whoring "popular girl" (which everybody knows why) Some of my most meaningful relationships in highschool (i know, it is possible) were with band girls and a girl on the Hi-Q Team.

[GettinArtsy]

There is nothing sexier than the combination of bow ties and glasses.

GO NERD BOYS!! <3

[yogurtpretzel22]

I was totally expecting a "ew no, of course I wouldn't want to date a girl with plastic bags inserted into her breasts" but I think I definitely liked "...what's plastic" x100 more. :p

[MOUTAINDEWLOVER656]

I'm a new subscriber and John you are right about " nerd boys"! Personally I am a girl, I hang out wit nerds (mostly boys) and most of them like me, so I see how they act and yes they get extremely sensitive and they crave alot of attention especially when they talk....

[MicahTheZombie]

@MOUTAINDEWLOVER656 Personally I am a boy. Impersonally, however, I am a zebra.

[MOUTAINDEWLOVER656]

@MicahTheZombie A zebra......i like ducks better though; so yeah.........

[danney777]

This is actually very true. I am a nerd myself and i am caring and all things mentioned. Needy...eh kinda not necessarily.

[CarolineKSkinner]

THIS IS SO FUNNY

[hopeful432]

@lovesmeowiez NO!!! (assuming that was a dw reference)

[SavaSings]

Lmfao

[6impossiblethings]

Wow i've been a vlogbrothers subscriber and nerdfighter for ages, but was just googling 'boys like you' (to get the song) and this was the third video that came up :) It makes me happy that if I wasn't already a nerdfighter I could have found Hank and John like this :) DFTBA

[TheUltimateZeldaGurl]

DOPAMINE.

[theDROIDuarelooking4]

Waiting for my nice nerd boy...since all the guys at my school seem to have the Paris Hilton problem.

[rosephoeniix]

patiently awaiting my nerd boy...

[lovesmeowiez]

Blink? 0.o

[mthsbandrocks]

Because my name is Katie, I feel like John is talking directly to me.

Noted, John. Thank you.

[musicmama888]

If I saw a boy that sparkled in the sunshine, I would probably shoot him.

[Ginglymostomae]

I totally agree with the nerd girls bit, i love my nerd girl to death she is beautiful, sweet, intelligent, ridiculous and occasionally an emotional mess but i couldn't ask for anything more and would never settle for anything less.

[katiechan8]

There should be a nerdfighter dating service. :3

[hufflepufftonks]

@katiechan8 YES!

[TaylorMarie831]

@katiechan8 I would join!!!

[superking3655]

Funny

[rachelsaunicorn]

He's right. I love my nerd boy. :3

[hillybeth525]

...west virginia's latest nerdboy count was...zero. no nerd boys in wv.

[BrendanKearnsMusic]

@hillybeth525 true, I live in New Mexico now.

[RaynaOfSunshine]

North Carolina. Doesn't get any nerd-less than that...

[avatarnaruto77]

I have a nerd boy, and I love him to death, but he is SO FREAKING NEEDY!!! He showed me this video to prove that all nerd boys are needy!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!

[PARAMOREpleaseX]

The related videos are hilarious.

[Deedycats]

Ha. It's a giraffe! Lol ha ha ha! Hi... Pft.

[BoomboxStereoHeart]

Why is john not blinking!?!?!?!? Its creeeeeppppppyyyyyyyy lol

[unknown123lal]

@BoomboxStereoHeart he wants to focus in on the camera

[RaynaOfSunshine]

@BoomboxStereoHeart ZEFRANK. That is all...

[sgtfwoods]

My nerd female friend is, in the words of Tobuscus, hotototototot. She is ultra nerdy and super awesome! John Green thank you for pointing out nerd girls are awesome, they need to know that! :)

[Shelleystarkid]

i have no nerd boy *sniff* but to the not being yourself thing. being yourself is doing or saying anything you want to say or do and the other self you could be is the one that evil coppurt society says you should be or so i think anyway,

and is it's not to much bother please send some nerdy boys to Scotland it would be much appericated :D

[egirleagle]

@Shelleystarkid someday, your nerdprince will come!

[peerieweirdo]

@Shelleystarkid I concur.... btw, I'm from Scotland too, and a Starkid... just noticing stuff.

[derekphu]

@Shelleystarkid There are nerdy boys in Scotland... you just have to know where to look. ;) *coughaberdeencough* :P

[sandrabinil]

I am a grown nerd girl, marrying the nerdiest guy in the world, and I couldn't be happier. He turns me on with his vast amount of useless knowledge and ability to solve a rubiks cube in 10 seconds. Hes a little chubby and loosing his hair, and sort of pale but man-he rocks my world on a daily basis. Girls-nerd boys rock! For real

[qwertydeluxe]

I'm a nerd girl and I love my nerd boy :)

[idreamonpointe]

JOHNNNNN I LOVE YOUUUUU. You never forget to be awesome :)

[Verbesity]

Wait...my girlfriend has given be a stuffed giraffe and a giraffe pillow pet...OH MY GOD!

[blackandfaded]

i'm in a relationship with a nerd girl right now and it's falling apart before our eyes. i discovered that just because a girl is smart and awesome doesn't mean she isn't extremely emotionally unstable.

[Rexreta12]

I love nerd boys.......<3!

[matthias01010]

really....ratio of 3:1, hell yes for boys then

[360army]

wait! wait! wait! are you saying that the ratio of girl and boy nerdfighters is 1:3

that is so not what i thought

[PhantomNynx]

haha indeed ^^ I have used the nerd-boys teknik for years :3

and from the moment i discovert them i have been very lucky ind the love depardment ^^

and I'm now in a happy relationship with a cute gamer and fellow nerd ;)

[99dirtrider]

I DO NOT FEEEELLL AWKWARD AND STUPID!!! ok maybe i do....

[TammiBloo]

Dear Nerdgirls! The answer to all our problems has already arrived.

And his name is Spencer. Flippin. Reid. XD

[blackburnt1000]

@TammiBloo Oh that's awesome but where can we find our own personal Spencer Reids?

[lilithelilliputian]

@TammiBloo Definitely.

I love that man.

[Gee1078]

Can I go back in time about 3 years and give this video as a present to my former self? Because she needs it more than I do...

[thehelmofdarkness]

World of Warcraft is the shit. Love it.

[TheLlamasAttack]

Yeah, us nerd girls aren't that bad

[DyingPickle]

Ahahah xD the tags x)

AhahH "be yourself" x)

Your awesome >:)

nerd girls!!!>:D

[shygirl2241]

Thanks! Exactly! Girl nerds are hot and romantic......... Sometimes. Yes im calling myself hot but come on u cant resist me:).

[Carla25hf]

i like a nerd boy

[IzzydaLlama]

lol, sometimes awkward... lol... right

[sciencenerd111]

FINALY someone who tells the truth about nerd girls I <3 nerd girls , DFTBA

[219kenzie]

@sciencenerd111 *crosses fingers* are you a nerd boy? please tell me you're a nerd boy. I need a nerd boy friend at the very least.

[thefamouskaytay]

Every time you say Katie, I feel as though you are talking directly to me since my name is also Katie, and I am nearly 15.

[ConfidenceCharm]

I totally agree. I love my nerd boy. He didn't even ask me to get my giraffe freak on for him. Not once. *sniff*

[TheShortzo]

You lie I dated a nerd girl. I was in love with her. And then she dumped me. I am pro nerd and apparently too nerdy for a nerd. In my opinion she just FTBAed. Then again she was the first girl to ever love me.

You guys are still my favorite though. If you do read this know that I am still a nerdfighter.

[DestroyerofPeanuts]

@TheShortzo You too?

[219kenzie]

@TheShortzo Aww, I'm sorry. I promise nerd girls are still pretty awesome, you just didn't find the right kind (I mean, a nerd girl that FTBA? Come on).

[219kenzie]

@TheShortzo Oh and there's no such thing as 'too nerdy'. That's like saying someone is 'too awesome'. My friend Pi John memorizes digits of Pi (he's up to 105) and he isn't too nerdy :P

[thefamouskaytay]

I'm a 15-year-old Katie....

[milkyway531]

@thefamouskaytay serious?

[thefamouskaytay]

@milkyway531 Well...14 years and 315 days, but who's counting?

[Revinita]

@kgill38 Thank you for knowing that feminist is a philosophy not a category.

And I think he means guys who think men are better than women, since the usual view of feminist is women who think they are better than men

[OohButterfly]

*Talk about it in the how to be a nerdfighter video.

[OohButterfly]

@iloveyou227211 yeah, it's a tribute to one of the first vlogers. They talk about Itink

[iloveyou227211]

he doesnt blink ! :O

[12bymax]

not

[elvesplaypiano]

That was my first comment ever!

[ConfidenceCharm]

@elvesplaypiano Congratulations! :D

[elvesplaypiano]

How the F does one find a nerd boy?!? PS this not me being needy . . .

[jmz569]

@elvesplaypiano 1. If you're in school, join band, chess club, or other nerdy organization. You'll have more fun than you've ever had in your life, they're amazing. You make take the "they" as referring to whatever you want. [;

2. Your username is the best username I've ever seen.

[Haylstrom]

you make me happy! I am a nerd girl and i like a nerd guy! He reads star wars novels=awesome!

[briannapast]

nerds<3

[stonestv]

im the nerdiest nerd in the universe

[Litonite]

You are amazing for shunning the STUPID TWILIGHT SAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mininamegal]

some nerd boys can sparkle in the sunlight

[Suhmogee]

I'm not a nerd - I lay nerds. So, John is right.

[LinHan98]

I know nerd boys don't sparkle in the sparkle in the sunshine.

[kgill38]

where do I find feminist boys? :( The ones that I've met all been introduced to me by their girlfriends...

[Suunnybear]

@kgill38 Feminist boys are known to society as: Gay. And I'm not saying that to be mean or anything. I'm not saying that to say that all guys that aren't all ford trucks and big explosions are gay. I find a lot of feminists kinda have a double standard. Do you know what a guy version of feminism is referred to as? Sexist. So yeah. I believe what your trying to say is non-testosterone junky stereotypical guys. And they most definitely exist. I happen to be one of them

[kgill38]

@Suunnybear Not feminine guys, feminist guys. Just someone who believes that women and men should have an equal place in soceity. May guys are feminists and just don't know that they are because they simply don't know definition, or they're afraid to say it out loud. I know they exist, I've met a bunch, they just either are much older than I am or already taken. Also, out of curiosity, what do you mean a guy version of feminism?

[kitkat88p]

Fuck yes. Nerd Boys. <3

[sraacv4398]

your sexest

[ProjectFlowify]

I'm a guy and I never feel stupid, awkward, or eye fluttery. I think its only girls...

[HalfMaskedMisfit]

Nerd boyfriends are the best. They introduce you to the Vlog Brothers.

[TheGiraffeLove13]

I wish I could find a nerd girl at my school ): WHY ARE THERE NO NERD GIRLS!?!?!

[yknowthatgirl]

@TheGiraffeLove13 We're definitely here. Standing awkwardly in the background.

[DisreputableCharles]

@TheGiraffeLove13 We're a bit too preoccupied with Skyward Sword's Hero Mode at the present...

[sam22ish]

here this bullshit i am a boy and i don't want a girlfriend with plastic boobs or who is stupid i just want a girlfriend who makes me laugh and i can enjoy spending time with

[ApplesRubbish]

@sam22ish Well, perfect. Will you marry me?

[sam22ish]

@ApplesRubbish well it helps

if i know the girl first but thanks for the offer

[ApplesRubbish]

@sam22ish Hahaha, welcome ^^

[rainabraina]

I long for the day when he answers fake questions from fake Nerdfighters....

[WhiteFire227]

AWESOME<3 but just cause u go for nerdy guys doesnt mean shizz. most of them r way too cocky now cause nerds r "hotter". they want "hot nerdy girls" or plain "ditzy girls" .... so yeah...

[musicmaniac95]

I love nerdy guys:D they're so adorable and smart. And awesome. I'm not like idiot nerd girl meme who is a... Well... idiot nerd girl. But yeah.

[herewearenowwhat]

My gosh you were fat (ish) back then... But good job changing it though.

[gleekyleek]

Yes John, but how am I to find these nerd boys when I'm homeschooled and shy and stuck in South Carolina? (Sorry South Carolinians, nothing against you personally, I just really do not prefer your state.)

[Quintinia]

@gleekyleek I too am from South Carolina and can attest to the deplorable lack of nerd boys. However, I have just started college in Savannah and if most colleges are even half as awesome as mine you'll be dizzy from choice, not only of nerd boys but of new friends and new experiences. (Sorry if you have a few years left to go, I remember the feeling and it sucks.)

[gleekyleek]

@Quintinia Hahaha, indeed. Thanks for that, you're given me hope that college will be as awesome (and as nerd boy populated) as I'm hoping it to be :D

[dreambigger1111]

I need to go to school with nerds... No one at my school is into the things I'm in. there are no nerdfighters :(

[yojoe1221]

oh hey, video is playing in 450p lemme jack it up to 1030p... OMFG I CAN SEE HIS PORES!

[dreambigger1111]

@SchadenfreudeMLQ I know exactly what you mean! I'm so awkward too, plus nerd boys always make me feel stupid.

[jillybean190]

yes for nerd girls! >:D 

[lovlyer]

i <3 nerd boys :)

[MacBurlTheSecond]

Nerd girls are really fantastic :p They, oftentimes more than non-nerdy girls, appreciate romance keenly, and personally, as a hopeless romantic, that's important xD

[HPfreak913]

"I have two words for you. Nerd boys."

[AlastorDarkAngel]

good guys are no fun. Too bad it's all i know.

[PolaroidNerd99]

nerd boys <3

[imadeautubeaccount]

I love how you talk. I could just listen to you talk forever about absolutely nothing and I'd still be interested. I find myself starting to sound like you when I talk because I'm so fascinated by the way that you talk.

[froggy049]

"now I know that nerd boys don't sparkle in the sunshine" haha

[Commodore93]

What's plastic?

[Artbug]

This is the first video I've ever seen from you (you guys) ...I am now subscribed to your channel.

[Karmajaguar]

Nerd boys are the best! And the fact that they don't sparkle in the sun should be a pro, not a con.

[RiskyBrothers]

then why are smart guys disliked (generaly) because, in this world of people being better than other people, wouldn't it make sence to like a person who's knowledge would help them all their life rather than sports skills that will forsake you at 30?

[ConfusedShipper123]

Nerd boys. Great suggestion. But they are kinda needy. Then again, I'm a nerd girl and I am kinda needy. Oh... silly "needs". *sigh* I like your acknowledgement of the social construction of "hot", and such. But yeah. Good stuff, John Green. Good stuff.

[PokeAndPie]

Did you know, that it's biologically possible for a guy to think of nothing... but girls can't

[TheCrazedSkittles]

@PokeAndPie I beg to differ - I was doing so just now before your comment interrupted me. ;P

[PatronusMirror90]

@PokeAndPie Oh, I don't know...I'm a female and I've found myself sitting in class, bored, and staring blankly at (or more like through) the floor or something else with absolutely nothing going through my mind XD

[stevedacool]

I'm a boy and I like you.

[MultiIzzyBell]

“In the 18th century if you asked a 15 year old boy if he would want to marry a woman who had plastic bags neatlessly inserted into her breasts, that 15 year old boy would have said, 'Whats plastic?'”
