Geek Physiques

That thing where geeks and scientists are always fragile, skinny guys without a shred of muscle to their names. Except when Geeks are fat. Rarely do we see an athletic, rugged, or only mildly pudgy geek, because they are Squishy Wizards. Compare Hollywood Nerd. Occasionally coupled with a Nerdy Inhaler to try and justify it. Badass Bookworms often, but don't always, avert this. May overlap with Fat and Skinny.

That thing where geeks and scientists are always fragile, skinny guys without a shred of muscle to their names. Except when Geeks are fat. Rarely do we see an athletic, rugged, or only mildly pudgy geek, because they are Squishy Wizards. While both versions of geek have been around for some time, the "geeks are skinny" image is slowly being displaced by "geeks are fat" as the world obesity rate rises and the average weight of "attractive" Hollywood actors falls. The hours of inactivity and unhealthy eating habits are sufficient justification, and can cause this to be Truth in Television. The older form also has justification in the "Forgets to Eat" aspect of things. The subversion is also true, especially as those entering such industries age and realize they're losing their youthful metabolisms and as such professions become more of a career and less a stepping stone to other things. Compare Hollywood Nerd. Occasionally coupled with a Nerdy Inhaler to try and justify it. Badass Bookworms often, but don't always, avert this. May overlap with Fat and Skinny.
