For example, over here, displaying interest and discussing about computers, science and other similar areas will get you labeled as a geek or nerd. But there's no good or bad connotation that's inherent in that label. A friend might describe someone as "nice but pretty geeky".

That depends on the person.
He/she could be "oh geez, a geek", "guy must be immature", "coolness I found a friend" or a Shibuya gals would probably go "eeeeewwww sick"
Women in general tend to show less tolerance of anime fans. Coming out as anime fans to girls will always be a challenge.
Labeling of geek is pretty close to it, except geeks gets more respect these days, thanks to the IT world.
Gotta say thanks to Mr. Gates for that. The guy's a stereotypical geek, but his success in the American Dream earns him mucho respect.
