Boyish looks and nerdy charm? What the hell is that supposed to mean?! I think I'm being insulted... Σ(-`Д´-ﾉ；)

But from your definition, a 'nerd' is someone who studies at the cost of their social life. You do not study to that extent.

Therefore you don't have 'nerd' charm, just charm.

[LOGIC!!!]

[hetried]

I don't think you can still say I have "charm" if you take out the nerd part.
But you've got a point in a weird way??

[drakenguard]

Yes. I do. It seems they didn't do their research very well for this.

[hetried]

I think I'm gladder that they got it wrong than the thought of them doing thorough research on that kind of thing.

[drakenguard]

Can one research such a thing? I always thought that attractiveness was a subjective thing, as people have different tastes or viewpoints on what is pleasing to them in both appearance and personality.

[hetried]

I don't know if you can research someone's attractiveness, but you can easily research what other people think of them and then state something from a general consensus. Like if people think the same thing about that one person, it says at least SOMETHING about them.

[drakenguard]

That makes some sense.

...what doesn't is why people would waste time and energy on something so frivolous. Does it matter if someone is popularly regarded as 'attractive'? Society encourages monogamous relationships, so it isn't as if that person could accept that many people anyway.

[hetried]

Idk, people like to talk about this kind of stuff normally. If it's a celebrity, they're people everyone knows and are always in the public spotlight, so it's hard not to at least make some kind of observation and share it with someone else.

[drakenguard]

It is still frivolous. I don't see how physical appearance is all that important in the grand scheme of things...

[Well Yamato's hair does look like it's never met a professional hairdresser - or a brush for that matter - in several years. It's obvious the guy doesn't think highly of prettying one's appearance]

[hetried]

[Say what you wanted about Daichi, but at least he knew how to dress himself and brush his hair.]

Well, first impressions count, right? Like how people will dress nice for a job interview. It's not the most important thing, but that doesn't mean people don't consider it.

[drakenguard]

[excuse you but his horrible uniform cuts a memorable figure according to Ideo]

I see. I would think skill would make up for lack of presentation though.

[hetried]

[maybe if he didn't have a pencil tie]

Maybe, but if you don't impress people initially, you'll never get the chance to show your skill. They'll just think you're a weirdo.

[speaking from experience are we]

[drakenguard]

A weirdo?

Hm, I think I understand.

[hetried]

Really?

[drakenguard]

When I initially met you and Kaito, I assumed you would abuse the DSA because you did not appear that impressive. It was only after you proved your worth against Dubhe that I revised my assessment of you.

So yes, I think I understand the importance of first impressions.

[hetried]

Gee, thanks! That wasn't exactly skill you know...

[hahahahahahah dubhe]

Still, you got it. Maybe now you'll actually get a haircut!

[drakenguard]

Is there something wrong with my hair?

[hetried]

Well, it doesn't exactly look neat and stuff like Makoto's...

[drakenguard]

Yours and Kaito's hair is not exactly 'neat and stuff' like Makoto's either.

[Besides, Ideo said he liked his hair B( ]

[hetried]

[dude you need to stop relying on ideo's compliments so much]

Hey, my hair's not that bad!

Though I don't think Kaito's brushed his hair in the morning since primary school...

[drakenguard]

[ARE YOU SAYING IDEO HAS BAD TASTE]

There you are. In comparison to Kaito I am fine. I at least brush my hair every so often.

[hetried]

[no he's saying das gay bro]

Yeah but HAVE you ever gotten an actual haircut?

[drakenguard]

[yamato is king of gay how is this news]

No.

[There was that one time in childhood with Alcor BUT NEVER AGAIN]

[hetried]

[bro you're making it so obvious]

See, at least we actually cut our hair.

[drakenguard]

I don't see how that is something to gloat over. My hair is kept reasonably short and out of the eye. That is all that matters.

[He says when his fringe flops into one eye, and his hair is unevenly long and all over the place. He doesn't even bother tying it back!]
