No particular order:

Being a furry/furry sympathetic.
A science major of any kind. IMO the S needs more love in STEM.
Ever overhear them say "walkable" in a positive light.
Hobbies besides media consumption
Not "too cool" to learn something. Likes learning for fun.
Not to concerned with looking cool or badass, either. Look at CHUDs, I made a joke the other day that I can sense a decent bit of residual 90's 'tude in modern CHUDDery, and I think I'm onto something.

Makerspaces? Maybe just hang around at bars near your local conference/convention center?

Nah that site’s full of subtly (and sometimes overtly) unnerving techbros

seems like a place where there'd be very few women. lol

One of my least favorite things about my ex is that she hated learning. Like why? The world has cool things, why would you not like learning about ANYTHING? You don't realize how much it sucks to date someone that is unwilling to learn new things for fun until you deal with it.
