What a cute nerd girl looks for in a boy?

I'm curious as to what a cute nerd girl looks for in a boy?

Do you tend to seek out likeminded nerd boys, or do you tend to date more outside of the nerd herd? If the answer is the former, are there certain traits of nerd boys which can make or break it for you? Is social awkwardness an endearing trait, or do you prefer your men to be outgoing, and socially confident but with "nerd"-y interests? If it's the latter, why do you think that as a nerdy girl you don't tend to date nerdy guys?

I date nerds almost exclusively. I don't think I do this intentionally. Those just happen to be the men I appeal to that also appeal to me. I have also dated a handful of musicians. I prefer nerds. We have more to talk about and we like the same movies. There are many folks in this world that dislike sci-fi and documentaries. That makes up my entire Netflix queue along with my soft spot for horror.

It is always hot to see someone do something they are knowledgeable of or are good at. Nerds tend excel in something or another.

I love me some social awkwardness. I can be awkward myself. It is always comforting when you are with someone that is just as goofy as you are. I would stay away from overtly girly shrieks as far as things to avoid go.

Nerds tend to be more considerate and appreciative lovers. There was a Dawn & Drew show about this very subject not too long ago. I think I even found the article they were talking about:

I look for intelligence. I do have to say public awkwardness turns me on. I don't know why but it does. If I dated out side the nerd circle I would be bored and annoyed by them. If you are too cool, then go date some stupid girl who loves The Hills.

Depends.

I seek intelligence first and foremost. Anyone can be visually attractive, but it's what happens when the verbal exchange begins that'll get me feverish. I do find social awkwardness endearing; my love for quiet introspective boys is probably out of hand. Although my current boy du jour is pretty much the text book definition of extrovert, I don't think that people should have to fit into any stereotype, awkward nerd or otherwise.

Besides, there's no "nerdy guy" setting for my vagina.
