"First off, girls that want to be with eccentric/super-capable people like myself are still relatively rare."
Sounds kinda cocky there haha. Don't get too full of yourself!
But yes, its difficult, I'm not picky, but I've only ever liked two girls in my life. It wasn't as if I thought "oh this one is too ugly, or fat or dumb, so I'm not interested", one was cute, the other was pretty, but I liked them because they were very different from the "average" girl and were kinda perky and positive (I'm silly but negative). They made me smile on the inside, which never really happens so I was attracted to them. But I gave them up like a fool.
Go search and don't give them up when you find the right one! You lose a bit of yourself if you decide to give up the very few you actually cared for.
