"The nerd has also become a sexual creature, vulnerable and feeling, a perfect partner because he is not only concerned with himself. In the film Revenge of the Nerds (1984), a young woman commends one of the characters on his sexual performance, and he reminds her that nerds don't spend their spare time in self-centered exercising to keep themselves muscular; they think about sex. A male counterpart to Cinderella, the nerd blossoms in a seductive relationship with a woman."
