Geek Physiques	comment	That thing where geeks, Stereotypical Nerds, and other brainy characters are always fragile, skinny guys without a shred of muscle to their names. Except when they're morbidly obese and/or neckbearded. Rarely do we see an athletic, rugged, or only mildly pudgy geek, because they are Squishy Wizards. While both versions of geek have been around for some time, the "geeks are fat" version has become more dominant with the rise of world obesity rates. Inactivity and unhealthy eating habits can explain this in fiction and in real life. The other form also has justification in the "Forgets to Eat" aspect of things, or possibly because they have an expensive hobby that eats up the bulk of their food budget. (The Basement-Dweller doesn't run into this problem, so they're far more likely to be portrayed as fat.) The reverse is also true as those entering such industries age and realize they're losing their youthful metabolisms and as such professions become more of a career and less a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Regardless, both versions have staying power as long as they are not considered conventionally attractive (hence why geeks are rarely portrayed as muscular.) Compare Sickly Neurotic Geek, where a weak appearance is coupled with (possibly imaginary) health problems. Occasionally coupled with a Nerdy Inhaler and/or a Nerdy Nasalness to try and Justify it. Badass Bookworms often, but not always, avert this. May overlap with Fat and Skinny if both are in the same scene together. Related to Brains Versus Brawn.

Geek Physiques / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock, like his literary counterpart, is ridiculously skinny and claims not to eat on cases — the number of times he is shown eating in six episodes could be counted on one hand. Prior to filming, Benedict Cumberbatch had another role as a cancer patient, but didn't want to shave his head because he was growing out his hair for Sherlock. He opted to lose 15 lbs. instead, giving his character an emaciated appearance, then kept the weight loss for Sherlock because he wanted the impression of "mind over body."

Geek Physiques / int_192b1aba	comment	How Friendship Accidentally Saved Magical Britain: Tom is skinny and has "noodle arms", as the twins put it. He's so out of shape that lifting his own uncharmed trunk with his noodle arms is a great burden to him, and climbing the rope ladder into the divination classroom presents a genuine challenge to his nonexistent core strength. Being a proud wizarding scholar, he considers any and all forms of physical labor and activity to be beneath him. Fred and George, who routinely undergo strength and endurance training as part of their roles as beaters on the Gryffindor quidditch team, are highly amused by this.

Geek Physiques / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: During the early stages of his fight with Ishida and Renji, Szayelaporro's clothing is so badly damaged by Ishida's Sprenger explosion that his entire torso is exposed revealing how thin his body is. However, unlike other thin characters, such as Ishida, Nnoitra or even Ichigo, there is no muscle definition to his form and every clear shot of his body heavily emphasises the shape and position of his ribs. While other thin characters are muscled or well-toned, Szayel simply looks emaciated. Unlike most other Espada, he doesn't fight physically. He takes the time to research his potential opponents in advance so that, by the time he's confronting them, he's figured out how to negate their abilities; for him, battle is a scientific puzzle to be solved through the power of intellect. When physical fighting is required, he can create copycat dolls of his opponents, forcing his opponents to fight the dolls instead of him.

In "The Homer They Fall", Comic Book Guy attempts to return a Star Trek belt he won as a prize because it was sized medium, and "the average Trekker has no use for a medium-sized belt" (thus referencing both varieties of Geek Physique). Bart's nerdy classmate Martin Prince is pretty chubby. It's not usually referenced, but he does get sent to fat camp in "Kamp Krusty."

Terra figures that as a computer geek he must be either really fat or really skinny. Junior just lists a string of insults — but since one of them was that he's fat, Marcus concludes that as one of the few points the two agreed on, it must be true, and his Tailsteak effigy is made in that image.

His Limited Wardrobe also emphasizes his lanky frame. Leonard has Height Angst and his Limited Wardrobe makes him look heavier than he is, contributing to a pseudo Fat and Skinny pairing he has with Sheldon. But, especially in the earlier seasons, Johnny Galecki is actually fairly slender himself, which can be seen whenever Leonard is just in a t-shirt. Howard is described as looking "like a human chicken wing" in his bathing suit. He also has only 3% body fat and is very proud of this. Of course, he also appears to have only 3% muscle. Raj is as close to an aversion compared to everyone else. He's taller than Leonard and Howard but shorter than Sheldon with an average build, although his own vanity makes him often bring up his love handles.

Geek Physiques / int_e32f00d6	comment	Fuutarou Uesugi of The Quintessential Quintuplets is a borderline example. While visually he's not exaggeratedly skinny, it's a bit of a Running Gag that his physical capacities are clearly below average, probably due to focusing too much on his studies.

Geek Physiques / int_f4bc8de	comment	Owen in Let Me In is rather stereotypically nerdy. He gets horribly bullied a lot, he wears unfashionable clothes and his room has an outer space theme. He is extremely skinny, to the point he looks emaciated in his two shirtless scenes, with almost every bone in his upper body visible.
