Have you met someone like "Sheldon Cooper" from "Big Bang Theory" in real life?

My daughter’s math tutor is in the ball park. She has most of the smarts, all the geekiness, but none of the arrogance.

With some variation, my older brother is like that.

@cookieman – Lady Sheldon..)

One former boyfriend, above average intelligence, lots of geeky quirks, extremely germophobic. Didn’t think about what other’s might need. That’s why he is a former boyfriend.

My nephew, very smart, lots of geeky quirks, obsessed with certain video games, Legos, and all of the comic book movies. He has all of the cutest qualities.

My best friend’s boyfriend. Normal intelligence, but super picky and demanding about things being a specific way, being self centered, at the expense of politeness and tact. Having fits if things are not the way he wants them. He has all of the worst qualities.

@Rohith: Exactly?

My sister hoots at Sheldon because an older kid from the street we lived on is exactly like Sheldon.

No, but I have known a whole bunch of Pennys, especially after living in Omaha.

Yep, went to college and grad school with this guy. He works for Amazon now.

I’ve met numerous people that act like Cooper but the only thing that’s kind of unrealistic about his character is that he fits both the stereotype of a cold and calculating science nerd AND a massive pop culture fan who binge watches tv. He wouldn’t have enough time to obsess about both of those things
