"Seth Cohen over Ryan Atwood. Dawson over Pacey. Old-school Andrew McMahon over new-school Andrew McMahon. Zach Braff over Jesse Metcalfe. Cringing yet? Or do you agree? Yes CG!s, I like geeks. But let me clarify something: &amp;quot;Geek&amp;quot; is a term of endearment in my book! Since the early Dawson&amp;#039;s Creek days when I would swoon over movie-buff Dawson while my friends drooled about bad boy Pacey, I knew I had a thing for geeks. In middle school, my boyfriend was in the marching band and could solve a Rubix cube in under a minute. Get the picture now? Don&amp;#039;t get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem looking at Brad Pitt and Justin Timberlake all day, but I honestly would prefer spending my time discussing the Garden State soundtrack with Zach Braff. I love guys who I can have an actual conversation with! Being comfortable around someone is important for me, and I&amp;#039;ve always found it a lot easier to just relax and hang out with my self-proclaimed nerdy guy friends. No matter what anyone says, there is absolutely nothing wrong with liking geeks. Please don&amp;#039;t let yourself get caught up in the popularity whirlwind. Some of the best guys are the ones that you might not normally go for. That cute kid that works at the ice cream parlor? The one who plays in a garage band? The guy whose radio show you always find yourself listening to? How about the boy who always sounds so intelligent in class? Give them a chance! So who is my ideal guy? I&amp;#039;m a sucker for plastic-rimmed glasses, messy hair and Converses. But looks definitely aren&amp;#039;t everything! Guys also get major bonus points if they can talk to me about my favorite novels, the latest indie rock album, human rights documentaries or an article they read in Time magazine. Pictured with my blog is Rivers Cuomo, ex-frontman of Weezer, who is my ultimate geek crush. Isn&amp;#039;t he cute?! So what about you? Do you have any cute geek crushes?? Any nerdy celebs I&amp;#039;ve been missing out on? Fill me in! xoxo, Cassie Lo Editorial intern "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
