No I have never tried to hide that part of my personalty, now on the other hand the sociopath part of me is well hidden. but I'm proud of my Geeky ways, and they've never gotten in the way of my social life in any way shape or form, Male friend come to me when looking for good Movie,Comic,Video Game, Anime advice and the girl's I know seemed to like it, because I have been asked out quite a few times.
I've learned that it's important to not hide it. Maybe you shouldn't flaunt it, but hiding it is pretty lame. If video games and stuff are a large part of your life and that isn't going to change, then the people you associate with should either be embracing or partaking. Partaking is especially important when it comes to video games and lovers.
If you are a big gamer and you don't want to give it up, you need to take it into consideration when dating. I don't even mean looking for one of those creepy girls who think that since they game, they don't need do take care of themselves in any way. I've met plenty of girls who are completely normal and socially apt, but also happen to like video games. It's just a part of you that you need to accept and that others need to accept if they're going to be around you.
Within reason of course. If all you do is sit in front of your computer all day going back and forth between playing fanservice games and watching anime with a love-pillow in your arms, you'll need to get over that rather than find a woman who is accepting of it. In fact, any woman who is accepting of it should be avoided at all costs.

I behave what comes naturally for me, and feels comfortable to me.
I don't try to hide anything I am, really.

I hide it all the time. I even disconnect my wifi on my xbox so when people wonder why im not doing anything that night they don't know that I'm playing Mass Effect instead of being with friends. Even around my nerd friends we refer to things as "it," so no one knows we are going up to Canada next week to play a game of Warhammer.
Exactly. I rarely flaunt my geekiness anywhere except at MtG tourneys and with friends, but it's like anything I love. I wear my videogame and anime tees in public with my collar. Both are parts of who I am, but I'm casual enough to just let them be seen without going "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M A GEEK AND INTO BONDAGE CHECK THIS SHIT OUT DON'T YOU LOVE IT".ilovemyLunchbox said:
I got lucky in finding a guy who is as nerdy as I am, but it was shown casually. (Of course, now we try to out-geek each other with stuff, and it's hilarious.)
I show my geek side when it's appropriate. For instance, around other geeks or when I'm trying to get someone into something "geeky". Other than that, I think that just because you are a certain way or believe a certain thing doesn't mean you should make a point of constantly making everyone aware of that fact. I am as openly geeky as the situation calls for, and I don't hide who I am out of shame or anything, I just reveal enough that I can have the strongest connection with someone possible without alienating them by talking about stuff they don't like/know about.
