John Scalzi, who’s one of the leaders of geekdom as the president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, wrote a great introductory guide for geeks and fedora-wearers on how not to be a creep.

Re: a comment in the fedora article.
I did know someone who would get pissed when a girl wouldn't like him, because hey, he was a nice guy, so wtf is her problem. Still single I think (because everyone else has a problem, IIRC).
WHO CARES! After all, those shoujo pillows are much better than actual bitches. They don't wine or complain. As long as these guys are happy. \m/
