I think their hair length was more to do with not taking time to go to the barber than a fashion statement. And then there were the guys at Bell Labs I knew when I worked in NJ that were chained in a basement and hadn't seen daylight in 10 years.
EXACTLY! Those are the nerds. I've dated a few of them, and I can guarantee you that their lack of attention to grooming extends into lack of attention in other areas as well. They're just too single-focused on their research and out of touch with the rest of the world. At first they seem interesting because they're quite smart and seem like they can hold a good conversation, but in the end, they turn out to be horribly boring, because they can only hold a conversation on a very limited range of topics. And, they're SLOBS. I have no patience for men who can't clean up after themselves.
