Mister Spock vs. The Rock
Geeks and Jocks have been rivals throughout American history. While
Americans' views on which label is more favorable are changing, there's still an understanding that the two are segregated.
Brains, Brawn, or Both?
We can argue about:
- who is more attractive
- who is smarter
- which label we would rather wear as an identity
Why are we limiting ourselves to being either/or, though?
Why Can't a Jock be a Geek?
Couldn't jocks be more effective if they utilized the technological powers of geeks to track their workouts and progress?
Why Can't Geeks be Jocks?
Couldn't geeks better their dating chances (nevermind their health) by gaining more muscle mass?
Joining Forces
Imagine if these sub-cultures joined forces and shared their
strengths and smarts to form every girl's dream guy:
Mister Spock on steroids. Eh voila: A man who possesses both
brains AND brawn.
Today's Society: Tech-Savvy & Health-Conscious
As we become
more tech-savvy and grow
more health-conscious, the
gap between geeks and jocks narrows. Our definition of attractiveness has evolved to include intelligence and geeky traits. The image of the 'dumb jock' is fading as
college coaches emphasize their players' academic capabilities.
The Geek and Jock All-in-One
Today, we have the technology and the awareness of health needed to be all we can be, physically and mentally.
We can use technology to better our health. We can have it all.
