I'm glad there's push-back as well. There's nothing wrong with geeks, but there's no correlation between geeky interests and being a stand-up guy.

Being a woman interested in geeky things, I've encountered several guys who felt like they were marginalized in life because of their geeky interests. So when they meet me (and I know this is true for other women as well, I'm not that special), the response is that they feel like I too must have been marginalized for my geeky interests and of course I've been waiting all my life to meet them. Invariably it's a case that they've been marginalized because they don't appreciate other people's boundaries and are self-obsessed; which means they also never manage to consider that I'm not heterosexual.

There's an excellent comic I wish I has the link to about one of those creeper types superimposing how they've dreamed a conversation will play out with a woman they meet, I thought it was a pretty excellent observation.
