Someone who isn't really an atheist and doesn't really believe in god is "agnostic", which I already said was ok. Its sort of like the first step towards atheism. If a girl does believe in god, then personally I believe that she will atomically be violating quality 1 along with quality 3.

There are religious people who are intelligent and ambitious. I haven't met them yet but I have met ordinary people (~+3) who are religious and emotionally intelligent. They are extremely caring, nice, generous, and ethical, and never bring their faith in the conversations - all of them understand the meaning of faith and how it helps them dealing with their life problems. I have seen other too who think everyone but them is going hell :).
(I am agnostic between... but just wanted to point out that there are different kinds out there)

I think nerdy guys like pretty girls who are somewhat intelligent (at the very least) and quirky.

This is what I've seen/heard from my super nerdy friends.

Personally, there is no pattern for what kind of girls I like. I swear my mind just picks at random.
EDIT: I should add that I'm not really nerdy.

I'm a geek and I like geeky girls. I just don't meet many unfortunately and they are usually taken.
The girl I dated whom I thought of as the perfect girl for me was a fangirl. She loved comic books, science fiction, fantasy, video games, and even played role playing games when she was younger. I knew I had hit the jackpot when one day she called me and said, "Would you like to go see the new Spiderman movie? Its ok if you don't. I can go by myself."
And there was the time that she was in a bad mood and I made her day by taking her to the arcade to play House of the Dead.

I believe there is a thread somewhere, most likely locked, where Cy has more or less outlined his choice in dating criteria. Not much different than what he posted here. ;-p

After meeting several good-looking girls, who turned out to be stupid, un-cool, and etcetera, I decided that the only thing I would value on a girl is intelligence (first) and good-looking face (second), and I don't care about the body. However, I am afraid that I would not be able to have a long-lasting relationship with a girl who has no personal interest in physics (nothing to talk about), or believing in God (I wouldn't be able to fight the urge to make fun of her religion all the time). But that's my outlook only, so it might not apply to all of us. Good luck with hunting down nerdy guys, it shouldn't be hard, but shouldn't be very rewarding either.

Additional requirement I forgot to add: has to be someone within a 100-mile radius. I know because I had a painfully retarded internet relationship. These never end well.

You were also dating Jenna Jameson? She told me I was that 'special one' :sad:

Turns out 'she' was really a 40 year old middle aged white man.

Or nice people atheists?

Because they've watched nice guys finish first? Probably applies to girls too.

Disregarding the "nerdy" part I like the following things:

Smile and pretty face
Sweet nice, caring personality
Self confidence, but not too much, just the right amount, lol
Attractive body, but this ties into the self confidence part strongly
Common interests, likes/dislikes, etc
Thats it in a very quickly hacked out summary.

Go away, non-nerd. You are not welcome in this thread.
mcknia07, ignore this advice. An ever-lasting smile and a "sweet" (eww) nice and "caring" (nobody cares, that's right) personality won't get you very far in nerd world.

Why am I ignoring that advise? I don't get it.

Cares about health and works out(nice body)
Has common interests, but differences can make a relationship interesting
Likes the outdoors
NOT CLINGY!

Bonus:
Does not mind an open relationship :biggrin:
