My hand is definitely up. My website is fairly perfectly coded, but generally light on content as I really can't think of much to put there. I'm starting to think my talent may lie in designing sites for others...
Slowly raises her hand feeling like an uber geek after reading other posts!
Computer Geek: As a kid I coded games the old fashioned way in BASIC. Started my own PC support business, love hardware more than software, probably because I am also an aircraft mechanic (aviation geek) but considered cool as I also skydive lol
Anime Geek: Always have been since watching Battle of the Planets as a kid.
Model Geek: Love Gundam models refer above though.
Space geek: my fave era being pre Project Mercury, and the Mecury Project itself. That and I look up to Charles E. Yeager (my hero!)
I Have been on band camp.
I dress like a geek so my non geeky boy tells me lol Cons lo-cut, baggy khaki green knee length shorts and an assortment of skydiving, anime and PC related t shirts.....
and I am not socially inept, just people that dont know me dont usually get me immediatly!
anime geek - love japanese animes too much
linux geek - distro hobbyist
computer geek - not that much
martial arts movie geek - too into this as well
My favorite distros: Mint / Manjaro / Archbang
Registered Linux user number 478398
Other Notables: Ubuntu, Pinguy OS, Semplice,
Looks pretty good, but the best thing in my opinion is a test site to build multiple things. My test site, subject to long downtime though (Since it's hosted on my computer).
Videogames: I played Everquest for a couple of years, then ran screaming when I realized the only reason anyone was polite to me was the 6-feet D-cupped red-head high-elf avatar I used. Now I play console games, and try to save money to buy the necessary parts for a monster gaming PC... Neverwinter Nights 2, here I come!
Astronomy geek: I can point out Andromeda, Orion, Sirius and Cassiopeia for you on aclear night. And tell you the stories behind those names.
History geek: It used to be my major in college. These days, I just know the years, names and places. And the great stories.
Computer geek: Very much so. I spent New Years-eve cleaning my SO's computer of malware and dust, and had more fun than I would have if I had gone to a bar with my friends and celebrated there.
Role-playing geek: I've saved the most blatant one for last. I know the difference between a rouge and a thief...! I play Nobilis and Ars Magica. I've done online chat and forum role-playing for at least ten years, and I own two dice bags. With dice.
I am also Swedish, in the European sense of the word, which means I was born and raised in that country. I am tall, I am into martial arts, I took belly-dancing classes for four years, and one of my favorite hobbies is cooking. I hereby dare to claim the title "A Geek's Wet Dream".

I'm an enthusiastic geek!

Computer Geek-I program in Python and iam into software and stuff
Internet Geek-Without internet, my life is boring +I wouldn't be a anime geek without the web!
MMORPG Geek-Iam playing Regnum Online at the moment and love it(on Windows I was playing Ragnarok Online on private servers, Silk Roads, MapleStory[worst out of them all])

Educate men without faith and you make them clever devils
Educate men without Linux, then yeah, the opposite happens

I'm many types of geeks, I guess.
Computer Geek: I love to muck around with my computer, whether it be fiddling with Windows (*gasp*) or with (K)Ubuntu. I've installed Windows and (K)Ubuntu many times and I enjoy the feeling I get when I get things working on my own.
Gaming Geek: I got into gaming as a Freshman in college (and going to a geek college, it's almost a given!!) and have been going strong. I love to play DnD, Rifts, Gurps and Shadowrun. I also like board games (Monopoly to Settlers of Catan to Risk to Trivial Pursuit) and card games (Mao, Uno, and Euchre [if that doesn't tell you where I'm from...])
Book Geek: I love to read. I've picked up many genres of books to read, but my favorites are mystery stories. I also like suspense (DaVinci Code) and humor books.
Engineering Geek: I am a mechanical engineer. I like to design systems and fiddle with things to make them "just right". My favorite classes (ever!) were my concentration classes (plastics product design) which involved lots of design elements (CAD and the such).
I look like a geek too. I wear glasses and I have a couple of sweet shirts that have geeky slogans on them.

I tend to stick to the very practical side of the forums. I'm not even sure how I ended up in this section or this thread. I certainly can't explain how I ended up reading that ^. I actually laughed out loud though.
Being geeky isn't the only thing that can pique a guy's interest. I think girls who do any kind of guy thing are attractive to the guys who are into that thing. For some it's computers, others it's hunting, or race car driving, or, well, the list is long. I remember a very pretty girl in High School taking the time to prove to me she could spit farther than I could. Hot.
It's my opinion, though, that there is no better potential partner than a chick who is passionate about the sciences and stuff.
