The Silicon Beacher
Don't be fooled by the hoodie and understated wardrobe, this diamond in the rough could be the next Mark Zuckerberg. It's rare when he steps away from dreaming up algorithms and coding the next Facebook, so if you meet one, give him a shot because chances are he's brilliant and passionate. Plus, it's quite possible he will sell his company for $1 billion some day!
Talia's Tip: These guys work weird hours, so if you date one, be patient with his schedule. Trust us: He isn't out meeting chicks, he's at his computer.

The Earthy Dude
You can spot this guy by the hemp necklace he wears and the reusable canvas bag that he totes around. The Earthy Dude is often in his own world, but once he lets you in, you'll be enlightened about the RBGs in yogurt and what those little numbers on the bottom of water bottles mean. His good energy and nebulous theories about the universe are refreshing but his natural deodorant, not so much! Plus, he is the ultimate couple's yoga partner and makes a mean kale salad.
Talia's Tip: He's emotionally available, so don't be shy — ask questions about yoga practice or his favorite restaurant. You just might end up chatting for longer than you planned.
