Sapiosexuality

I found this term over on Claudia’s tumblelog:

Sapiosexuality

(sā-pē-ō-sĕk-shü-ăl’ĭ-tē)

(n.) A behavior of becoming attracted to or aroused by intelligence and its use.

Well here I go: I’m a sapiosexual and I’m not afraid to admit it.

I had a friend who once said, “Vasta, you’re not attracted to women, you’re attracted to talent.” She wasn’t lying. Someone that can use their intellectual skills for creative expression is definitely much more interesting to me than a pretty face.

    I think 99% of women are sapiosexual which is why men are such a bad choice sometimes!
