(After I wrote it I have started to think about your answer as rethorical. If this doesn't fit, I would be really satisfied if people who do fit would have a chance to read it) It is not about popularity, you can always find people that have something in common with you. You found them on FB, right? Just don't use FB for excuse for not even try and you will find out that you don't need it. I am a geek as you (probably) are, but there are a lot of other geeks too. If we would live in a same city, what is stopping us to go for a beer and play board games (which I love) and laughing at people who don't have a clue what we are doing. Screw the "how you look" prejustice (which FB is actually imposing - before FB came out, people cared much less about the look, this whole "lets be preaty" and "how interesting life I have"(which is a lie in most of cases) mania is by large its fault). The point of bonding is to interact in person, not hide behind a chat. And after a while (of hiding) you are completely spaced out in regard of social interaction. As far as I am concerned, todays pop culture is completely f* up and something to laugh at, why taking THEIR social norms on yourself? You can be popular too, due to your math knowlidge (yeah, stereotypes, I know), board games, whatever. Just find right group and BOND. In real life, stop poking your nose with rubber gloves, take them off and expirience the REAL expirience ;) Come on, I bet there was a guy (and girl, they are faking their interests to be """popular""", wait until they are 30+, you will see a huge change in their behaviour) in your class, in your neibhourhood, who has similar interests as you do, just say fuc* off, to anxiety, to media, to pop oriented morons (I am sorry, but I really despise this part of culture, which is faking their natural behaviour just to fit... somewhere) and bond with people, what do you have to loose - except of years of training of social interactions that FB is taking away from you?

I like how you are totally convinced that everyone has tons of free time and no real world duties and responsibilities. And how you see socializing primary as social status thing or that self-imposed-geek-isolation is your only reference for someone who is lonely. And like how there could not be no reason in for girls to change behavior when their life situation changes then that they were "faking". Makes me really not want to be in real-world group of geeks with you. That sort of bullshit is why I am avoiding local tech meetups.
