How to not look like a geek when solving the 3x3

[SebCube]

Helo everybody i was wondering how to not look like a geek in front of non cubers some people have started calling me a geek and its not that i dont like i just want to know whether there is a way to NOT look like a geek thanks for any answers.

Ignore them. They're jealous. >:]

I usually tell them that I get to be a millionaire while they get to live in the dumpster, regretting choosing a selfish life.

There's no way to not look like a "geek" because that's what people who can do difficult things get called. It looks to noncubers like you're trying to show off how smart you are. If you care about being popular, stop practicing cubing in front of other people.

Ability to figure out a plastic toy=millionaire potential. I think my math is off. It seems that 9 times out of 10, they're jealous. Rather than try to win when faced with someone like this...realize the truth. You've already won.

That doesn't make any sense, which means you usually look stupid.

be energetic when you're doing it, and as a fun final trick: after PLL recognition ask the person to look you in the eye while you finish the cube. Freaks people out.

Hmm, this is a hard question, the only way I can think of is to make it so you don't look nerdy.
Definition of nerd:

Nerds are a form of candy currently sold by Nestlé under their Willy Wonka Candy Company brand. Damn.

I mean:
1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

Why would you care at all? People tell me things like "Do you make love to your cubes at night?". My usual response is yes I do, and laugh along with them. People like these show, by their statements, how immature they are, and fighting them off with logic is useless, since they won't listen.

Going along with their insults (for me) backfires to them in ways
#1. It shows that you aren't irritated, making them irritated.
#2. It shows that you are just going along with it, meaning they won't find a reaction no matter what they try.

Just ignore and move on with your life. You have two years to live. Enjoy it.

Yes, listen to this, this is a good answer.

What? Does SebCube have a terminal illness? If so, I hope he is strong through it all.
On-off topic: Don't really worry about it. Just be a happy geek. But this is key: DON'T act like you are superior to someone else just because you can solve a few different plastic toys. Girls don't dig that ish.

Appear to be nice and relaxed and maby wear sun glasses over your head

No, We die in 2012. That's why.

A girl that doesn't dig cubes is not a girl I would like as my gf.

Oh, 2012, don't make me laugh. Actually do, I like laughing
