I don't know; we had all different kinds of guys.
Unless you work in a fraternity house atmosphere, or in management or sales, once you're an adult, you can pretty much be what you want. I certainly wouldn't want to work in a "normative" atmosphere--I'm not sure I even know what that means. (Clearly, luck was on my side!)
No, you don't get it.
If a woman is weird or quirky or an oddball or socially awkward then she might be annoying to people. That is all.
But if you are a guy and you are weird or quirky or an oddball or socially awkward then you might be considered creepy or even scary. And this can be lethal to your career. I mean lethal.
So for men it is important to appear at least halfway normative.
You're right; I don't get it. I'm glad of that.
"Weird or quirky or an oddball or socially awkward" pretty much is the default among techies up here.
No Dexter Donuts in my office because we don't have assigned desks. I suppose people could store them in lockers and bring them out every day but that would definitely turn them into countable possessions.
