I was an unfashionable geek for quite some time - I picked up salsa dancing it changed my entire perspective on outward appearance. I really grew to appreciate it, to appreciate the time people (and obviously women) put into grooming and dressing themselves in a manner that was unique to their own style but also attractive; an extension to that is enjoying the time it takes to find, select, and try on clothing for that purpose. It's like going to Fry's and shopping for components to build a new computer - why do you think most contemporary non-geeks say, often, that they "hate shopping for computer parts"? I would like all people in the latter category to stop caring about choices of clothing as a factor I'm surprised you would say that - you may begin to notice that humans aren't computers with predictable API's to interact with. Inter-human communication and interactions are largely driven by sexual (perceivable or not) and biological queues. Smart and attractive (if you can dress well and take care of your body, you will be attractive) is an extremely powerful combination because the ultimate fate of humanity rests in the hands of our intelligence and a lot of the world will acknowledge you for your intelligence but if you want to make a serious difference - putting yourself together in a way that many non-geeks can relate with is crucially important. Oh and clothing was never actually made to fit your particular body style - it's meant to be generic, you gotta get that stuff tailored! It's like custom fitting a computer for your needs, you have to do the same thing with your clothes, your body. I once had the outlook you do, why do people like "clean" and attractive people so much? Why don't they see my intelligence more? On and on and on...
