Hey, Vincent's like that too!
Was I ever like that? Probably.
For girls/women, I think it's not so much being 'sexy' as being respected. I mean, as a geek girl, you still know there are guys who will happily have sex with you (maybe not always the guys you *want*). What's amazing is having some guy think that what you do or say or are interested in matters and is cool *without* sex. There was a guy in my 12th grade Am.Gov. class who was utterly different than me in nearly every way - we were on the opposite sides of most issues in debates, our politics were different (mostly), and we came from very different religious and socio-economic back grounds. At the end of the year, he would regularly wait to walk with me after class so we could continue talking. There was no hint of romantic or sexual attraction, but I knew he wanted to know what I thought, respected my opinion, and valued talking to me. It was awesome, and eye-opening in examining my relationships with other guys.
