Re: do only geek guys like

[ariakas]

Wat. In my completely anecdotal experience it has been the exact opposite: geeky dudes seek geeky but very feminine women, buff sporty women are sought after by buff sporty dudes for the most part.

Source: my circle of geeky male friends has exclusively dated/married women who love video games and whatnot but also knitting and makeup, hate sports, and would collapse if they had to huff it up a particularly long flight of stairs.

Whereas as a geek but fitizen with more stereotypically masculine interests, while I've had interest from a few of them, the overwhelming majority of male interest in me has been from other fitizens, military dudes, bros, etc. I haven't dated a guy who didn't have a six pack in years.

well, there's probably an element of perceived attractiveness and mutual interest going on there as well, isn't there?

Re: do only geek guys like

Sure, but I actually am quite attracted to less fit geek dudes, myself. The interest just isn't mutual, usually. And not to stereotype, but the fit men who are very interested rarely break the triple-digit threshold in terms of IQ, which isn't as satisfying as it could be.

It's become something of a running gag with my friends (one got a kitten that was sickeningly adorable but kept bashing its head into things, and my friend joked "look, it's one of Ari's boyfriends" lol) but honestly this is probably more than 50% who's attracted to me rather than who I'm attracted to. I've thought plenty of geek dudes were super cute.

Erm, sorry, think I might have been a bit confusing there - "perceived" was meant to be modifying both attractiveness and mutual interest. That people make assumptions about mutual interest based on perceived attractiveness, that... well, to put it bluntly, the idea was that less fit geeky dudes might be less likely to conceive of you being interested in them or to pick up on any signs of attraction that are there. I think the way that we think about these things even on a very subconscious level can affect this sort of thing. And not just in terms of attractiveness, either, but in terms of perceived interests and lifestyle. I mean, in one of the posts ITT you have someone saying exactly that.

Of course, if that really doesn't tally with your experience, that's the way it is. It was just a thought.
