I think a lot of geeks, myself included, grow up in that social dead zone. Maybe you look awkward, probably act awkward, are seen as weird for the attitudes, if not the hobbies, that make you a geek.
And you get this idea, even subconsciously, that to be a Geek, one must Suffer. A football player can't be a Geek--they're a Jock. A pretty girl can't be a geek--she's a Prep. Or maybe just a Pretty Girl. Or--gasp!--Popular. In fact, if she's pretty, she's probably Popular, and we have this kneejerk reaction left over from our school days that says Popular People are the Enemy.
It's pathetic and more or less entirely informed by lousy movies from the 80's and 90's. But it's still there for a lot of people, and usually requires becoming consciously aware of how ridiculous it is to stop thinking that way.

And then he responded to the fake geek girls thing by doing a 3-part series on Supergirl that starts with a glorious rant.
