Are you a Sapiosexual?

[cloudy]

I sure as hell am.

from Urban Dictionary:

sapiosexual: One who finds intelligence the most sexually attractive feature.

"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."

Ooooh.

Me, too.

Of course, I also have a thing for hands.

And a direct gaze.

And sexy talk.

And, um, rough play.

Never mind.

She's addicted to Urban Dictionary now.

Hell yes. A man talking quantum fluctuations or convergent evolution gets me all hot and bothered. And if he's willing to watch the science channel with me, he'd going to get lucky

I can't tell if I'm pleased there's a word for it, but abso-fuckin-lutely. It's why I married the man I married...well, I liked his body, too

 

[tickledkitty]

Yes!

 

[The_Fool]

I am so fucked...

This is how I am. I can't narrow it down to a single trait, but anything that makes someone stand out, is attractive to me. Intelligence is beautiful, but so is talent (I love a woman who can sing, play the violin, or guitar). I absolutely adore women who are driven by their "motherly" side whether it relates to helping others, or just their own kids (which was a huge source of attraction to Kiten, who's an amazing mom). Looks can be important, but it's more important how she carries herself (not just confidence . . . shyness can be a turn-on as well).

In the end, I'm not "most attracted" to any one trait, but finding someone who posesses many of them is beautiful.

Um... sapius = Latin for wisdom. It'd be logosexual or logophile.

Geez, Cloudy, not to rain on your parade, but have you never heard that 'opposites attract?"

It seems we require a 'compliment' to ourselves, not a reflection in a mirror...but then...what do I know about anything?

the always amicable amicus...

Intelligence is very important to me. I have always said if you searched my mind for my idea of the most physical perfect woman on the planet and put her together. If I met her and she lacked intelligence, I could not be with her.

I have found that the most important aspect of a relationship is being able to communicate. I have recently found that woman and love who she is, not what is on the outside. Her intellect is a huge part of my attraction to her.

 

[Sapphire_O]

No. I'd rather be with a funny, sexy guy than with a super smart one.

But I have crushed on some profs that upon reflection weren't that physically hot.

I think you have said it rather well and intelligence is rather high on my list as well. I do want them to be funny and yeah even sexy but they have to be intelligent. If they cant carry off a good conversation even if it is about sex then they loose my interest. Besides I need someone there to carry the torch when I'm being a dumbass and can't think straight.

 

[rgraham666]

It's pretty obvious I am.

I'm much the same way. I generally like men who are very much into something I know little about. Normally this means mathematics and the more mathematically involved sciences. I've dated loads of electrical engineers and ended up married to a physics teacher.

I'm more artistically inclined. I find that this creates interest and balance in the relationship as well.

 

[impressive]

Naw. Honesty, integrity, and altruism all rank higher for me. I don't find brains sexy if I can't trust a word they say.

Intelligence is one of the things I find really really sexy in a woman...
but I'm with imp on this one... no use of intelligence if there is no honor, no honesty and trust.

 

[Recidiva]

Count me in. After making it to Lit, I realize I have a few fetishes. I used to think everyone wanted what I wanted, but it's just not true.

I have fetishes for smart people and funny people. And one isn't enough, either. Gotta be both.

 

[DerelictionOfSanity]

I find intelligence attractive, but finding a guy who's genuinely nice is a bit higher on the list.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

Now imp has a very good point, all the intelligence, funniness and sexyness goes out the window without having trust. Trust issues will rip at you till you bleed even if they are in the persons head.

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Had to come out of my lab, where I was working on Fermat's last theorem, to interject my opinion that indeed sapiosexuals are indeed libidinous.

Ok , to be honest I don't have a lab, Fermat makes my head hurt and I looked up libidinous in a thesaurus under "sexy"

I heart you.

(you did not)

 

[rgraham666]

I regard dishonesty and untrustworthiness as signs of stupidity. So I'll still say intelligence is sexy.

I completely disagree with the first part, Rob. Dishonesty comes in all flavors of intelligence and is usually rooted in some form of fear. (Even smart people can be afraid.)

And, I never said intelligence wasn't sexy to me -- just that it's not so in the absence of the other qualities.

I am so fucked...

Naw; we'll keep you around for that gorgeous bod of yours

Naw. Honesty, integrity, and altruism all rank higher for me. I don't find brains sexy if I can't trust a word they say.

I think the question is more a matter of whether you'd place intelligence on the list of sexy qualities *at all* not if you'd find someone sexy who was intelligent irregardless of any horrible personality flaws he/she might have.

I've met guys who are very smart who are also arrogant, obnoxious and use that intelligence to bludgeon others and overcome their own insecurities by trying to show off. This is *not* attractive.

But as intelligence does NOT preclude honesty, integrity and altruism, does NOT mean a person MUST be in anyway objectionable, I still rank it high on my list of sexy qualities.

You can say that you put honesty, integrity and altruism first on the list with intelligence on down or not on the list at all. But to say that you don't find brians sexy if you can't trust them is disingenuous because intelligence doesn't imply any such thing. It is what it is. Intelligence. It may come with or without other good qualities--by itself, ignoring all other qualities the person might or might not have, do you find it attractive? Some folk do, others don't. I know a lot of guys who want a girl they can explain things to, and so do NOT find an intelligent girl at all attractive.
