Are you a Sapiosexual?
Disclaimer: This article is NOT what you are thinking it is!!!
I overheard a couple seemingly on a date discussing Wimbledon finals and how a well-executed backhand saved a match point. I tried to ignore and rather thought of continuing my date night with my husband! But being the curious kind, I couldn’t keep my ears and eyes off them. Focusing more, next I heard them discussing gaming controls and cheat codes for “The Batman: Arkham knight”. That was it for me! Can you believe- A sexy Couple on a date discussing about these irrelevant things? ****Nostalgia?? (I asked my husband who somehow seemed mesmerised in his wine & dine)
I remember I was dating this guy who always enthralled me with his Witty one-liners and exceptionally creative flirting. I mean he was always in the Top 5 in university, a very efficient basketball player, would bunk class for movies, had a group of about 20 friends who always copied his work during exams and one who would be able to discuss any damn thing on this earth.
He knew about Russian poetry, geographical importance of each place, about how the big ship vessels navigate during storms, about temperature controllers, automobile functioning and how a fucking Oil and Gas plant works. Not to forget, the latest details of the sexiest cocktail available in the nearest pub. Whoa… I loved everything about him and though I was more attracted to his ideas, knowledge, his influence on people, and his writing skills. I began to notice his facial features way too later, I had always thought of him as the most intellectually attractive person I have met till date, and yes I married that guy, but let’s keep that story for another day!!! What a coincidence I Thought!! So, I am a normal person with traces of Sapiosexuality!!
A Sapiosexual is a person who finds intelligence as the most sexually attractive feature. According to a research, Brain is the largest sex organ, and this explains why some people are turned on more by the insights of a person or their personality rather than their physical appearance. They are more stimulated or challenged by the way another person thinks. They are basically in love with the mind.
If you consider human evolution over the years, pardon me but Socrates — had no money, no position or looks, but his thinking brain was pure charisma and brilliance. Recently, times have not changed much. People are aware that being physically attractive is great, but physical attractiveness diminishes with time. Intelligence, however, is lasting. Sapiosexuals know that relationships are more fulfilling when something more than physical attraction is shared. Intelligence is a substance that does not go away and it can be shared forever. If that is not attractive, I don’t know what is….
