I seem to be quite "girly" but people are often suprised at how much of a geek I am (I mean geek as a compliment =) ), but I am going to a lesbian club tommorow and I'm not sure if I should mention that I enjoy my sci-fi, RPG and computer. I am not saying it's a bad thing but I don't want to bore people to death when it's my turn to share my interests. How should I "balance" my geekiness?

Must you "balance" your geekiness? I say wallow in it! And when in doubt, wear black. Actually, wickedness is always a good complement for geekiness. Formfitting black, red lipstick, a push-up bra, and kick-@ss shoes (boots, whatever).
Live long and prosper

If you're just going to a club to have fun and not looking for a relationship that will last longer than the night, try this: Less talky more dancing. If you're actually trying to meet people, maybe mention some of those interests but if you have other things going on in your life mention those. If something progresses to dating, then maybe talk more about that stuff. I'm not sure how active many geeks are in the club scene, so good luck actually meeting someone that knows what role playing is beyond the sexual kind.

Keep your geekiness in the closet, and search for common ground. Ha Ha! Just kidding.
Throw your interests out there, and don't take yourself too seriously. You should look for common ground and things that other people can relate to.

Might as well be honest. You might find someone who is just as interested in those things. Just be careful to gauge their interest and adjust how much detail you go into and for how long you give a monologue on the topic accordingly.

Don't change a thing! Besides, you won't have as much fun if you've got to worry about being something/someone other than who you really are.
Just be yourself and have fun, and I bet you'll meet some geek grrls.
*** badkitty, you sound like fun!

Just be yourself.. Don't ever be asahmed of who you are. I went thru this with my boyfriend for the longest time, and now he lets everyone know hes a geek and I wouldnt change it for the world.

I Have the same problem, I'm a lesbian and I love Star Trek. I balance it by not balancing it. If you love it, you love it. you can't help it. Email me. I like Vulcans too.
