THANKFULLY I'm not totally neckbeard, but I _do_ have a beard on
   my neck, and I have "leanings" in that way, just as I also have
   leanings towards New Age Hippie type - among others. So I try to
   stay in the middle... which is _also_ likely a stereotype too
   tongue emoticon -- I'm the same with the things I'm competitive
   in. Like in the example I gave for "winning discussions" by
   making friends. In the end, I don't care if I "win a debate" or
   even if I get a friend request - the person can hate me
   afterwards. But I _do_ strive to be better at the end of the
   night than I was when I came in. So I guess the competition is
   self-competition: I'm trying to be better today than I was in
   the past. I don't like being stagnant. -- Well, they're young
   yet and not every man can grow a beard. And beards aren't
   required tongue emoticon I know PLENTY of female neckbeards. I
   also know male meangirls. I mean the stereotypes are never 100%
   accurate for anybody - we're all unique individuals - but they
   can help "people sorting" as it were if needed. --
