Actually I'm not falling behind. You pretty much just clarified that that is exactly what you did. You used Hottie to be the opposite of a nerd.

You used Hottie to be the opposite of a nerd.And I also said that "jock" is the opposite of "nerd," based purely on traditional definitions. But my wife does not qualify as a "jock" since she is not athletic. What exactly is your point and purpose?
Aren't there other things besides jocks and nerds? Punks, hipsters, druggies, rich kids, choir boys, etc?
My real questions is, though, is this high school?
That depends on what your definition of "nerd" is, I guess.
this thread is so far off topic lolwe were discussing ways to make this game more attractive to female players . . . which i dont know y i care except that more players equals more fun

They have way too much knowledge about non-practical areas of interest, like card games, comic books, Star Trek, or even music. Smart, although they either keep their obsessions to themselves or are somewhat of a social outcast for being openly overly obsessed.
And we were saying that card games, in general, are male-dominated because of social norms, I think.
Although I think that one of the best things Redemption offers is an INCREDIBLE way to increase your knowledge of the Bible quickly and easily while having fun, so seminary students is another good idea.
My point is that we do have some women who visit these boards who might take offense to "hot" being assigned to being an antonym of nerdy, which they inherently are by playing a card game. Nerdy is a personality type, it has nothing to do with physical appearance. Let's not try to tie them together lest we insult the view women we can actually get to play Redemption.
And my point is that calling a girl "nerdy" simply because she plays a card game is equally offensive, regardless of your definition.

Actually, in my experience, female nerds tend to be very hot.
CCGs are inherintly nerdy, just as football is inherently sport.
Oh trust me, Kirk is definitely a nerd, However, he's also a jock - I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.
I actually find the word "hot" to be offensive, but that's because I'm overly conservative.
And Gretel and I will both tell you that we're proud to be nerds.
The study method idea isn't gender exclusive.
