Upvoting for being an interesting life-story that a good chunk of the LessWrong demographic can probably relate to, though I'm not sure I agree with all the conclusions you draw. I wouldn't mind seeing more posts in this vein from different perspectives.

I also like the idea of splitting up the two versions of the post, I don't know what it's for (I haven't read the other version), but it can be interesting to compare responses to the same story with different spins (though I'm not sure you'll get enough responses to have a sufficiently significant difference). I expect the other version to be less upbeat and maybe have a tone of "how being an overanalytical nerd ruined my relationship, be careful!". A lot of weirdness in this post sounds like it comes from an attempt to make it as different from the other as possible.
