When I was in the dating scene, I attracted all types from jocks, straight-laced professionals, moto military men, inked/pierced, hipsters, and my type:

Nerdy/geeky (gamers -- some into table-top, comic book and sci-fi/fantasy lovers, movie buffs, cosplayers, those with a passion for a specific field of study within academia, audiophiles, computer programmers, and software developers)
Artistic/creative (musicians, writers, artists or combo of sorts)
Secular Humanists or "spiritual" in the Buddhist, pantheist or Taoist sense
Introverted (INFP and INTP, especially)

I don't have a type per se. My attraction has varied based on the individual, instead of some particular type or group. But as to what has been attracted to me, seems to be for some reason women who go to church and are very spiritual, which is odd, because I don't go to church at all nor do I believe give off the impression that I am a religious person.

It is very rare for a Californian guy to hit on me. I mostly attract East Coast or Southern men. No clue why!

I do declare, I must give off secret southern belle vibes.
Southern men have never really appealed to me, even when I lived in the South. But since there are so many transplants in Atlanta I never really knew who was actually from the South until getting to know the person.

I say I am from California because I spent my more formative years between Nor Cal (East Bay) and So Cal (San Diego), but I also lived in the PNW, in Vancouver and just outside Seattle. But having spent many years in metro Atlanta, and experiencing the dating culture in that area, I preferred it to So Cal. I just couldn't get into the So Cal mindset and scene. The culture was so different from what I grew accustomed to living in Atlanta, and yet I consider San Diego "home." It's where most of my relatives live.

I have far more in common with men in metro areas like Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, L.A. (but still its own culture thanks to the film and music industry), Chicago, D.C./Maryland/NOVA, and the NE.

Southern men, the ones raised or brought up in the South with that specific culture/mindset, have been far too conservative and "old fashioned" in my experience. Some have "freed" themselves from that upbringing, but the ones who are deeply connected to their roots and haven't lived in many other places are much too conservative for my liking.

I am partial to scientists. They tend to be very silly in private life, to balance out their work, and to have the empirical approach to life that I like.

I am a weird magnet for people from the Washington, DC suburbs. So much so, that the last guy I dated, when he told me on our first date he was from there I replied, 'Of course you are!'

I don't know wtf that is about .

I'm the opposite of the OP in that I am not really attracted to nerd girls but that's what I most easily attract. I probably come off nerdy but actually have zero nerd interests.

I have always attracted the gals that have the moves.

You know, can spin their head around three times with a growling noise.

I attract crazy! Always have. Bad judge of character or gullible I guess.

Fair enough.
