TopicWherr did the stereotype of the ugly nerd came from?

It came from females.

Most human females (especially in high school), assume that if a guy isn't attractive/athletic, he needs to compensate by having "nerdy" hobbies to get him through his days: Reading, writing, drawing, video games, crafts, science, philosophy, things that don't require looks or athleticism to excel at.

Which is very offensive, because a lot of attractive males can have strong interests in those things too.

And a lot of ugly guys can still be entirely stupid and boring and also hate sports.

At the end of the day, they're just generalizations that allow people to dismiss each other more easily, because getting to know someone and caring about them as a person takes time and effort, and people would rather just not care.
