This word’s usage seems to be strictly limited to women’s online dating profiles. In modern American hyper-materialistic culture anyone wealthy is presumed or deemed intelligent and their net worth is thought to be a measure of that, somehow. These women are not attracted to intelligence but superficial appearances. Thus, sapiosexual is primarily used disingenuously to signify that minor physical shortcomings might be excused for a wealthy gent. See related: gold digger, spoiling, and sugar daddy/baby.
