sapiosexuality

To become attracted to or sexually aroused by intelligence and its use.

Me? I don't care too much about the plumbing. I want an incisive, inquisitive, insightful, irreverent mind. I want someone for whom philosophical discussion is foreplay. I want someone who sometimes makes me go ouch due to their wit and evil sense of humor. I want someone that I can reach out and touch randomly. I want someone I can cuddle with.

I decided all that means that I am sapiosexual.

Sapiosexuals

In short, sapiosexual can be defined as someone who is attracted to the intelligence that another person displays. In other words, sapiosexuals are aroused by smart people. Interestingly enough, though someone can be physically attractive, if they appear to be "empty-headed," so to speak, then it's an instant turn-off to the sapiosexual. When it comes to sapiosexuals, it's what's on the inside that matters the most. You could be the best-looking person in the room, but a sapiosexual will only be interested in you if you meet their standards in terms of intelligence.

Sapiosexual

Sapiosexual: apparently it suggests that a person is attracted to another person's intelligence and wits, rather than their physical appearance. I'd strongly suggest for the term to be replaced though, because of the connotations it carries; the Latin and Greek origins of these kind of words tend to make them universal and they rapidly get used all around the globe. "Sapio" might both mean "to have sense" or "to taste" in Latin, but it also means "rotten" in Greek, therefore the word hints at and sounds etymologically related to necrophilia and/or caniballism.

“All these novelty, millennial neologisms like "metrosexual", "gamification", "sapiosexual" and the like , are truly getting on my nerves” my middle-aged Greek college tutor said, before he facepalmed in despair.

Sapiosexual

Sapiosexual is a word invented on the internet and used and accepted by morons who want to sound intelligent themselves by saying they expect it from a partner.

It is not an orientation and can’t be unless you’d bang Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher over Tom Hardy and Angelina Jolie. And yes, that would include prioritizing (your perception of) intelligence it OVER gender. It makes no sense and can’t.

If it simply meant “I get turned on by intelligence”, fine, but that’s not what it means and isn’t how it’s used.

Intelligence is a feature of attraction, but so are freckles, or shoulders, or big boobs. It’s not an orientation unless frecklesexual is too.

It’s the dumb person’s idea of what a smart person’s word is.

I tell people I’m sapiosexual because my vocabulary is shit but I’m pretentious with it anyway, since I have no self-awareness.
