[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] But surely a guy would still have to be somewhat physically attractive and kind, as well as intelligent. I doubt a sapiosexual would date a GonkFace or a raging asshole even if he was a nobel prize winner. I suppose my problem with understanding the term is that implies a specialized attraction where it could be argued that most people outside of a frequent john or a sex tourist, probably have some expectation of intelligence in a partner. I need to get a consensus on how the term is actually used today, but I was told it means being attracted to someone's mind as apposed to anything else. Which seems very hard to quantify, and probably in most cases untrue. [/quote] If you want a practical definition then it is merely that someone is attracted to people based on their intelligence. This doesn't imply that their other attributes are not relevant. [b]ALL[/b] forms of attraction are a synthesis of factors, your just stating that it is very high and perhaps highest in the list of things that attract you to people.
