Nerds are attracted to mentally unstable, attention seeking women and think they have a chance with them? And you chased her away. I've never seen nerds white knight a girl harder than Koshiba. Every guy seemed to think his bit of advice would be the key to her loving herself again, and thus loving him.
And all the pics of average dudes she either dated or hung out with only bolstered the attention, as GAFers thought they'd have a chance.
