    I hate that i know what sapiosexual means

    I hate even more that it's almost a useful categorization because i hear things that qualify for that attitude regularly

    I hate to ask, but what does it mean

    Lotta dudes using it on Bumble outta nowhere and I have no idea if it's code or something

    They’re attracted to “intelligence”

    I've seen it used by women on Bumble, etc as well. As a straight white male nerd who isn't good at dating, it sounded interesting at first but after I though about it a bit it made me feel more wary than anything. While I hope most of them don't mean it this way there's something elitist and eugenics-y about it that I really don't like.

    It's not even necessarily that

    That's some "I'm the nice guy" self identifying bullshit

    Oh, come off it. The first time I ever saw it referenced was in a bisexual woman's dating profile. Ya'll are being overly cynical, and this is me saying this.

    I will take your advice on who isn't a jerk very, very seriously munkus, thank you

    The term sapiosexual is fucked up from the beginning because it equates being attracted to intelligence with sexual orientation, so you know something's off when someone uses it.

    Yeah, intelligence being a component of your attraction to a person is one thing, but I feel like most people who say it's the singular defining characteristic are lying, either to you or themselves. Attraction is a complex mix of physical and personality traits (with different aspects even changing in prominence over time) and intelligence is difficult to actually define in any universal sense anyway.

    I have basically never seen it referenced as the "singular defining characteristic" and almost always as part of a list, as if the person was clarifying "intelligence is important to me" in shorthand.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I have basically never seen it referenced as the "singular defining characteristic" and almost always as part of a list, as if the person was clarifying "intelligence is important to me" in shorthand.

    If that is the case, it's still a bad shorthand, as it is conflating an interest in "intelligent" partners with an expression of sexual orientation.

    sapiosexual always brings to mind the cline poem
    I've noticed that there don't seem to be any porno movies

    that are made for guys like me.

    All the porn I've come across

    was targeted at beer-swilling sports bar dwelling alpha-males

    Men who like their women stupid and submissive

    Men who can only get it up for monosyllabic cock-hungry nymphos

    with gargantuan breasts and a three-word vocabulary

    Adult films are populated with these collagen-injected

    liposuctioned women

    Many of whom have resorted to surgery and self-mutilation

    in an attempt to look the way they have been told to look.

    These aren't real women. They're objects.

    And these movies aren't erotic. They're pathetic.

    These vacuum-headed fuck bunnies don't turn me on.

    They disgust me.

    And it's not that I'm against pornography.

    I mean, I'm a guy. And guys need porn.

    Fact.

    "Like a preacher needs pain, like a needle needs a vein,"

    Guys need porn.

    But I don't wanna watch this misogynist he-man woman-hater porn.

    I want porno movies that are made with guys like me in mind:

    Guys who know that the sexiest thing in the world

    is a woman who is smarter than you are.

    You can have the whole cheerleading squad,

    I want the girl in the tweed skirt and the horn-rimmed glasses:

    Betty Finnebowski, the valedictorian.

    Oh yes.

    First I want to copy her Trig homework,

    and then I want to make mad, passionate love to her

    for hours and hours

    until she reluctantly asks if we can stop

    because she doesn't want to miss Battlestar Galactica.

    Summa cum laude, baby!

    That is what I call erotic.

    But do you ever see that kind of a woman in a contemporary adult film?

    No.

    Which is why I'm going to start writing and directing Geek Porno.

    I shall be the quintessential Nerd Porn Auteur.

    And the women in my porno movies will be the kind

    that drive nerds like me mad with desire.

    I'm talking about the girls that used to fuck up the grading curve.

    The girls in the Latin Club and the National Honor Society.

    Chicks with weird clothes, braces, four eyes, and 4.0 GPAs.

    Brainy articulate bookworms, with MENSA cards in their purses

    and chips on their shoulders.

    My porn starlets will come in all shapes and sizes.

    My porn starlets will be too busy working on their PhD to go to the gym.

    In my kind of porno movies the girls wouldn't even have to get naked.

    They'd just take the guys down to the rec room and

    beat them repeatedly at chess

    and then talk to them for hours about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

    or the underlying social metaphors in the Aliens movies.

    Buy stock in some hand cream companies

    because there is about to be a major shortage.

    And I'm not just talking about straight porn. Oh no.

    There should be fuck films for my nerd brethren

    of all sexual orientations.

    Gay nerd porn flicks with titles like "Dungeons and Drag-queens."

    This idea is a fucking gold mine.

    I am gonna make millions,

    because this country is full of database programmers

    and electronics engineers

    and they aren't getting the loving they so desperately need.

    And you can help . . .

    If you're an intelligent woman is interested in breaking into the adult film industry,

    and if you can tell me the name of Luke Skywalker's home planet,

    then you are hired.

    It doesn't matter if you think you're overweight or unattractive.

    It doesn't matter if you don't think you're beautiful.

    You are beautiful. . .

    And I will make you a star.

    Also that poem actually does bring something up

    Cline thinks "smart" means "can quote star wars facts"

    "intelligence" is easy code for "have the same beliefs and interests that I do"

    It's a way of saying "I want someone who already likes the things I like and believes the things I do and also if you don't value those things, I believe you to be stupid"

    it suuuuucks

    Shouldn't that be "like a Cobra Kai kick (from the classic film Karate Kid) to the solar plexus."

    Like I can sorta see sapiosexual being used on a woman's profile as an attempt to ward off jerks, like oh don't apply unless you're smart

    problem is all boys think they're smart, and then they appropriate the term because boys appropriate everything

    I'm not saying it's an effective tactic but that's probably part of where the intent comes from.

    And isn't really quantifiably definable anyway.

    I was talking to a woman on a dating site who used the term sapiosexual.

    Turns out she wasn't my type! I feel bad but she was clearly putting on airs to fit in with a specific kind of guy (the Ernest Cline type of nerdy guy) and I kinda just felt sorry for her for that and bounced. (it wasn't just her using the term, it was some of her question answers on OKC and some of our conversations we had)

    Oh is it an animated gif? I'm using a very slightly aged ipad so it barely functions and apparently just shows the first frame of animated gifs

    "I'm more attracted to someone who is smart than to a dumb shit" is such a truism it's basically not even worth saying.

    That would explain it. Yeah, these Olly Moss Garfs are often a short animation that reveals the Garf in something that, at first blush, appears mundanely Garfless

    Not to mention that sort of terminology is like catnip to the sort of "smart people" that picked up things quickly in high school and that solidified their perception of themselves

    I can't say for sure, but I bet you any lady putting that into their online dating profile would get buried in fedoras
