I've always liked cute, funny math/science nerds who are socially adept enough to navigate normal life, but also like super nerdy (board games, video games, Reddit, graphic novels, anime, etc) stuff and, in later years, added: who were also relationship-oriented, thoughtful, open-minded, and loving. I married a guy like that, but I sought him out the first time I saw him. Would he have approached me? Who knows? Who cares?
