I thnk the real question which impinges on the minds of many here is whether the Tolkienism of ourselves is offputting to the opposite sex.

Not that I've noticed in my personal experience. Sometimes it's been the exact opposite but I guess it ultimately depends on which crowd of the opposite sex you hang out with.

And, speaking totally hypothetically, if I was interested in you, I would be looking at your bookshelf, and if I didn't find the right stuff there, I would quickly drop you as VAPID.

I understand what you're saying but I would want more than just a "look" at her bookshelf. For example if I didn't see any fantasy or sci-fi I would ask her why that was. If she responded with some comment like "I think that stuff is stupid, it's not real life" or "I can never get into that stuff" that is when I'd bid her a hasty goodbye, better luck next time.

I, for one, go for looks because I don't want my future children to curse me for polluting my bloodline and leaving them without the advantages that good looks have to offer.

Same here! (but I'm also looking for height, 5'9" isn't terrible but I'd like to be taller but since I can't make myself taller the next best thing is to make sure my son is taller, it's not a must, but preferable)
But the geek part is a must. She doesn't have to be super geeky or even considered to be a geek, but she needs to at least be geeky enough to understand my geeky side and have intriguing interests unlike those vapid people who do nothing but go to clubs.
