Well if you wanna meet nerdy/socially awkward guys, anime/video game clubs. They have them at most colleges I believe. Plus there's more men than women, so you get to have your pick and have all the guys fight over you on the sole virtue of you being a female.
One thing I think, though, sometimes friendships are less about understanding, and more about virtue. Someone can understand you and still be a complete jerk to you, and someone can not understand you and still be good to you because they're virtuous people. Just something to keep in mind.
Me personally, I either like people who seem to be female clones of me, or are the polar opposite of me, with nothing in between.
