Attraction to intelligence is called sapiosexuality, and I wholeheartedly concur.
I just have regular sexuality, where I'm attracted to what I'm attracted to
The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club
Despite having “sexual” as its root, sapiosexuality is an attraction-defining term, not to be confused with a definition of sexuality. Like other attraction-defining terms, it’s not exclusive.
I just hate labels. I like what I like. Not just smart people. Not just pretty people. Not even people with specific genitals.
Ah. Chaotic horny.
Just like me.
now kiss
...but also pretty smart people?
Why does this comment start with "despite"? Aren't all [something]sexualities "attraction-defining terms"?
Traditionally speaking, the terms heterosexual and homosexual tend to be exclusive by omitting attraction to the opposite sex. I was clarifying that a sapiosexual is not exclusively attracted to intellectuals.
*Now that sexuality is defined as a non-binary spectrum, some may disagree with my use of “opposite sex.” I admit I don’t know the correct way to convey the idea. I don’t mean to offend.
oh yeah, I'm also attracted to what you're attracted to
Attraction to intelligence is sapiophilia. Attraction to smartgender people is sapiosexuality
