I think white_chocolate is right here. There is a difference between loners and nerds.

You can be a loner and a nerd. Or you could be a loner with a lot of people skills also.

In the book "Leading Minds" by Gardner, he describes a lot of the great leaders of history as having some of the characteristics of loaners. In the sense that they have either taken a lot of time to be alone, or else incorporate a lot of alone time into their daily lives.

Anyone guess why?

Anyway sorry about the digression.

And, White_chocolates insightful comment notwithstanding, Peter Parker seemd fairly low on the social food chain, loner or not.

as far as pete being a pansy. . .i wouldn't say that he was a nerd. he was a loner.

loner and nerd have two different meanings

and i know that this comic was in the olden days. . .but i don't remember rich boys hanging out with loners. usually, they're at the top of the heap.

and i'm sorry if james franco was a loner at my school. . .but i would jump on him in a second. he's cute. but that's beside the point.
