lol, well I am a geek and I will say that after a lot of video game playing school is easy. I am surprised you can date a geek or find one. But men in general play RPG's and I am one of them but I do not play MMO's so sister your out of luck finding a man.
You cannot eliminate someone from your dating pool because all men and women have the same basic desires and behaviors when it comes to dating. I seriously suggest you try to stop freaking out over men playing video games because men are not social on the same level as women.
Are you sure you dated a geek before or did you just see a guy play video games and think "oh he is a loser"? Because as I said most men play video games and most smart men play RPG's while the losers play WOW (personal experience).
I wish you the best though

Umm, I was saying that some video game and RPG playing is ok. I am anti-anime subculture (spent longer than I should have in it), and don't want to date someone who cosplays and goes to crazy conventions. I also very much dislike many modern visual arts.lol, well I am a geek and I will say that after a lot of video game playing school is easy. I am surprised you can date a geek or find one.

If it's primarily that sort of geek you wish to avoid then avoid cosplays and conventions where individuals who relish getting into costume congregate. In fact avoid going anywhere the stereotypical geeks gather to enjoy their hobbies but be aware there is no way of selecting against were-geeks, you'll only discover them after you've gotten to know them.

Yeah, I'm looking for some suggestions on that. What are some good non-stereotypically geeky places to meet people, other than stores?

I'm not really sure.
Bars, clubs, hobby groups that are particularly outdoorsy, life in general. I know plenty of geeks who are not into cosplaying or really bothered about whether or not their lady friend participates so long as she allows him to get on with his hobby with only a small amount of good natured ribbing. If you avoid the stereotypical geek hangouts then you're good to go really, barring the were-geeks.

For some reason, I tend to go for geeks sooo... 
I can't tolerate guys whose entire world is gaming though. But hey, if you're not a gamer then chances are pretty good that they won't be big contenders in your dating life anyhow.

I thought Christians were not supposed to go to those and could not possibly meet any nice Christian people there. At least that is what I have been basically told by Christian friends, college ministers at church, etc. I have no doubt that even a few really good friends would judge me if I went, and as I understand, if you go to a club, you should go with someone you trust.

You could always join/ date people from, one of those crazy ultra-conservative churches that believe things like D&D, Harry Potter and pants on women are of the Devil.
They also tend to be incredible xenophobic so there's a good chance that not only will they not like anime/manga, but they've probably not heard of the term outside of a Chick-tract reference.

Fear is but something to be overcome.
Regular dudes are everywhere.
Also, can I make a thread about eliminating uninteresting women from my dating pool?

My sister swore off geeks and gamers long ago and it's one of the better decisions she's made.
To find non-geeks try picking up a sport or anything physical, really, since that stuff usually doesn't appeal to the geek.

What "type" of man are you looking for exactly? Might be easier to point you in the direction of the guys you want rather than telling you how to avoid guys you don't want lol. The obvious advice is to avoid video game stores and conventions, comic book stores, and if you are ok with meeting people online, than people on anime forums and the like. But that doesn't really tell you where to meet the kind of guys that you want to meet.
Maybe you could try volunteering? There are animal shelters and rescues that need help, habitat for humanity if you like building, the local homeless shelter, plenty of churches have group volunteer activities, there are many hospitals and facilities that may have you read to children or help the disabled. Really, there are a lot of places to find a relatively "normal" man who should share some values with you. I suggest NOT going to bars or clubs....If you aren't a drinker or dancer, you probably won't find much good company there. Go for places you like, because the people who you meet there will already have that in common with you. I have nothing in common with people who drink and dance and have to party or do karaoke every tuesday night.

From what I can recall, she wants somebody with a good job, decent looking, and with a personality that isn't relatable; much like any girl really.

As someone who has one, not having a relatable personality reaaaaaally sucks.
You're like the loneliest person on earth.

Just because you can't relate to loud conversations, hugs, European pop music, and subtitled foreign films, it doesn't mean that others can't.
