I started frequenting comic book stores and more geek-oriented events because 1) I like that sort of thing and 2) the guys were so much more interesting to talk to. From my experience they tend to be into a wide variety of things - various hobbies and activities. They tend to be smart and curious - providing a bigger landscape of things to talk about. And yes, they are a bit kinder. Very few that I've met have been socially awkward and they are all comfortable with the geek aspect of who they are - if not proud of it. Wish I had been able to attend the event, although I was at a bookstore run singles night event, so that's geeky in its own way. Thanks for this.
