How does one go about finding and meeting cute nerd girls?

So you've established what the "cute nerd girl" looks for in a guy (or at least what two cute nerd girls look for), the next logical question would be how does one go about finding and meeting them? I ask, because after quite a bit of effort, I've had little luck. Plus the whole social awkwardness trait tends to hinder actually meeting them even once they have been located. And if you're inclined, how would I go about this in the Minneapolis area specifically? Since I live there, and I imagine you'd be uniquely qualified to offer advice on that topic. Or hell, any just general advice on meeting women would be a plus. Everything after that I think I have a handle on, but without that crucial first part it's all moot.

I would say:

1) CONvergence http://www.convergence-con.org/ and the other events that they run through out the year. Plus all the proceeds from the events go to promote reading programs in grade schools with an emphasis on sci-fi reading. You could try OmegaCON http://portal.omegacon.us/ It is a pajama party. Any CON will have nerd girls of all shapes, sizes and cuteness.

2 )Try Grumpy's, the local watering hole for cute nerdy girls of Minneapolis. Karaoke or trivia night are usually good.

3) If you don't drink, try events at DreamHaven, the bookstore Neil Gaiman frequents. When he shows up, it is sure to bring all the cute nerd girls out of the woodwork.

4) If your shy start with http://www.livejournal.com/ you can talk before any awkward public meeting.

I hope you find your cute nerd girl.

I found a good share of cute nerdy girls and boys at Booksmart, the downtown Mpls library, Magers and Quinn, and of course, the comic shop. But those are probably obvious. Ride a bike around town; there's a plethora of cute nerd girls that like to cruise on their wheels in the warmer months.

And it provides you with a great conversation starter:

"Is that a vintage Schwinn?"

First off, you must leave your house. Now, now...calm yourselves. I am not mocking. I don't leave my house as often as I should either. I am with you. Every time I do I am guaranteed to meet people, be it good or bad. You have to take them together. It's a hard knock life. I hate it too. Nobody likes it.

Problem two would be as stated above. I am not available to the public often. I work two jobs. I went to an amazing M.I.A. concert @ First Ave last Tuesday. I followed her to her afterparty @ Foundation. Powers came out Wednesday. I did go to Grumpy's with my roommate on Wednesday to meet our friend for his birthday and to celebrate Powers. I worked tons of overtime hours through the holiday weekend. Nessa was in town for Thanksgiving. On Saturday I worked on her photo shoot with her. I was a model, featured as the role of random homeless lady. Her friend Chelsea lent Nessa her children for the shoot. (Photos to follow! Bug her, not me.)

In that timespan of last Tuesday until today I have written back to a countless amount of Powers readers. All the hate mail has gone to Bendis. I find that very endearing. Thank you, MaryPants haters!

See what I mean? Nerd girls are busy. We have an equal amount of hobbies and interests. That would be what makes a nerd girl a nerd girl.

The internet is a semi-viable option for meeting us. Hell, I never would have written to Bendis! if he hadn't been so damn available for my amusement @ work during some random downtime on myspace. Nessa is right about http://www.livejournal.com/ There is also the fine sponser of Ask a Cute Nerd Girl and Memoirs of a Master Control Operator on Blogger

It depends on what site you go to:

Places where there are artistic things for the public to view are always a good venues. Especially if they are free. Anywhere, anyhow...there are nerd girls at free events. We tend to rebel against money orientation, I've noticed. Or we are broke artists, writers, film/television makers...

I recommend movies in the park for your local area during the summertime.

Lauren & I don't live in the same city now. She doesn't know what I ride since my bike was stolen. Here is my bike of current:


My best advice for meeting nerd women would be to do what you are good at. Hopefully someone will think it is hot.
