Every year the word “sapiosexuality” becomes more and more popular. But what is it? And who is this sapiosexuals attractiveness of a person is determined for each by completely different things? Someone likes kind and funny, someone likes sympathetic, and someone is crazy about rude and assertive. But what attracts sapiosexuals?
Who is a sapiosexual
According to the dictionary:
A sapiosexual is a person who is sexually attracted to people of high intelligence. Sapiosexuals are also called people who consider the thoughts of others to be a more attractive side of their personality than physical parameters.
Of course, we all love smart people. We like to communicate with them, it is easier to live with them. But sapiosexuals literally believe that intelligence is the main criterion for sexuality. That is why they will never meet with those who are considered stupid.
Many celebrities consider themselves sapiosexual. For example, Mark Ronson, a British singer.
Sexologists classify sapiosexuality as a middle ground between orientation and a fetish. Thus, for example, some criticize the inclusion of sapiosexuality in the list of orientations, as this word simply cannot be entered into the binary system of genders.
Signs of sapiosexuality
Now that we have figured out what sapiosexuality is, let’s see if you are one of them. This simple checklist will help you decide.
- You love to study. If you like to watch new documentaries and read books to broaden your horizons, love to develop, and do not miss a single opportunity to learn new things, then most likely you love to surround yourself with the same people.
- You like serious and meaningful conversations. Do you really like to talk about science, literature, politics, or art? Do you enjoy intellectual disputes? Check this box for your sapiosexuality.
- You are a Grammar Nazi. Do other people’s speech errors annoy you? Can’t stand it when people spell wrong? Is a rich vocabulary everything to you? You are most likely a sapiosexual. Or just got it with a fad for the right speech.
- You are a good listener. You don’t interrupt, you like to listen to other people’s stories and interesting storytellers, you love interesting conversations. You listen carefully and remain silent, but you do not suffer from this.
- You love mind games. Mind games that require you to think as often as possible, strain your brain, and look for creative solutions – your favorite? What about games that allow you to demonstrate vocabulary? Do you like intellectual rivalry? Mark the dot.
- You like interesting thoughts and unusual views on life. If you’re always looking for people who talk about interesting topics, then you’re probably sapiosexual. And if at the same time you rarely pay attention to appearance, then mark the item!
- You like interesting dates. A date for you is a way to get to know a person, something new and interesting, and not just kiss someone once again. If you like dates in museums and planetariums, then you are probably sapiosexual.
- You need more time to get to know the person before moving into a more intimate relationship.
And how many points did you mark?
