For me to see you as smart right off the bat, you'd have to be somewhere in between butch and feminine, hopefully in the direction of clearly-female-but-really-really-not-trying. Long hair in a ponytail (nothing hanging in your face) is best, short hair kept well out of your eyes is still good. Blonde hair is a complete no-no, as well as highlights. Clothing should be button-down shirts and trousers (casual dressy crap), no skirts (you're a techie and therefore sexless *grin*), but rolled-up sleeves look more techie. Glasses will make me think you're smarter at first glance, usually. Dorky toys are fine, I think. *thinks* I think I like people with dorky toys more, so I'll probably be inclined to think you're smarter because I-like-you=you-must-be-smart in my head. Also, piercings=no-no, which is so hypocrytical of me because I yelled at my dad for three weeks when he made me get rid of my eyebrow ring.
