In [[Real Life]], [[nerd]]s can run the entire spectrum of "beauty" and social prowess, from unattractive and socially inept to drop dead gorgeous and a social butterfly. Like most people, most nerds are simply of average looks and social skills. The only thing that really differentiates nerds from anyone else is their intense interest in niche topics.

* Every character in ''[[Anti Trust]]'', with the possible exception of the very cute Rachael Leigh Cook {{spoiler|who is [[The Mole]] and presumably deliberately chosen as someone the hero would fall for.}}
* ''[[Hackers]]'' stars ''[[Angelina Jolie]]'', for crying out loud. (Although her makeup ''was'' awful.) And super-hot Jonny Lee Miller!

** The part of Severus Snape, played by [[Alan Rickman]], also suffers. In the books, Snape is supposed to be a greasy, unpleasant, hook-nosed recluse who spends most of his time in a lightless dungeon. He is often compared (unfavorably) to a bat, and it is revealed that in his childhood he was beaten up and picked on near constantly for his unwashed hair and ugliness.

* ''[[The Matrix]]''. The protagonists are mostly hackers, yet we've got [[Keanu Reeves]], [[Carrie-Anne Moss]], [[Belinda McClory]] (Switch), and so on. [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but none of these people look like stereotypical nerds. Mouse is the only one who looks or acts like a nerd. Justified, in that they actually have to know a lot of stuff just to survive and to try and save the human race.
