Behind a screen, Nate Scarborough is a force to be reckoned with. In Real Life, not so much. Can this fat-loving nerd get with real women without a wall of technology between? And if so, what kind of women will he get with?

Note that this is one of my older stories, written when my writing skills were less developed. Though the most egregious problems were corrected during a 2021 edit rewrite, there may still be awkward phrasing and other issues. Be prepared for cultural references, terms, and situations common at the time of writing which may have fallen out of favor or even be considered by some unacceptable now.
