RE: Intelligence Is Darn Sexy! 🖤 Why We Love To Date Nerds - The Secrets of 'Sapiosexuality'

in #science • 7 years ago

Well, the guy in the picture really looks very intelligent! 😉
To be honest, I think sapiosexuality is a myth. Would you rather date @Dan or George Clooney? We are not talking about who is more interesting to talk to and spend a nice evening, but with whom you want to have sex.
I think, intelligence is certainly a nice to have "feature", but not the main reason why any woman will date a man - ergo: there is no sapiosexuality.

Sort:  

I think it depends on how you define intelligence. Have you read the list above? I guess both Dan Larimer and George Clooney would comply with a couple of these points :-)
Smartness and physical attractivity don't have to be necessarily extremes. We tend to pigeonhole people very quickly according to their physical appearance. What I like about the concept of sapiosexuality is that it defines attractivity according to strong personality traits - and not to physical pattern.
