When looking for a person to love, there a lot of things to consider: Good looks, personality, humor, kindness and what not? Well, the list never ends. For sapiosexuals, however, intelligence plays the biggest part in the attraction, and everything else is secondary.
What does a Sapiosexual mean exactly? Well, the simplest way to define a sapiosexual is any person who admits that they’re attracted to another person’s intelligence more than anything else.
What is that one quality that you look for in a partner? Is it intelligence? Are you a Sapiosexual? well, let’s find out.
Here are a few signs you may be attracted to smartness and high IQs!
Coffee and Meaningful talks: A Perfect Date
The idea of a perfect date to you is not a fancy restaurant or a concert, where people go but never actually get the time to get to know one another.
A cup of coffee in a nice café discussing the meaning of life is just what works perfectly for you.
Intelligence means much more to you than degrees
You’re attracted to someone, not because of their higher IQ levels or the number of books that they’ve read, they’re degrees and grades. But, you’re attracted to them because you connect more on an emotional level.
They are thoughtful, caring, kind and loving. And that is what matters to you more. These traits make your heart swoon.
You are looking for someone who can work in a room
You’re more attracted to someone who can impress not by having all eyes on them but all ears. They know how to talk, be it a 15-year-old or a ninety-year-old lad. They don’t have to show up in a tuxedo or bench lift a certain amount.
Their intelligence and compatibility says it all.
You’re a Grammar-nazi
Watching someone use the wrong “there, their or they’re” when they text, is a huge turn off for you. You look for someone who isn’t about cutting corners even when they’re texting. Use of proper grammar catches your eye and those silly mistakes are what triggers your brain the most.
I mean how hard is it for people to use the right words?

The Intellectual Talk
You’re comfortable talking about things that are more logical and real rather discussing what the Kardashians wore to the red carpet. You got no time for gossips or the latest fad, you’re more into having a deep emotional connection with your partner.
You love Answering Questions
Not everyone likes pointless rants and endless questionings. A Sapiosexual is someone who loves it when people shoot them questions. They would rather stay up all night debating religion, politics, studies or even facts.
The more questions, the better.
Psycho-thrillers are your favourite
You find no entertainment in watching a sequel of something crappy, a comedy, or any cheesy romantic movie. Something with a major plot, any psychological thriller movie, documentaries, mystery or even fiction (if it’s a little logical) is what you would prefer watching for two hours.
You’d choose Shawshank Redemption over Magic Mike any day.
Your favourite game in bed is the Q&A
It may sound a bit unexciting for some people. But, surprisingly, it can turn out to be a really sexy and interesting game in the bedroom.
You ask your partner questions. If they guess it right they get rewarded. And if they get the answers wrong, they are punished in a really steamy way. You can turn up the heat by blindfolding them.
You know the Difference between an Intellect and a ‘Know it all’
You’re not impressed by a person who likes to boast about their knowledge and act as though they know everything. They’re really bad listeners and always look for a chance to present their inputs.
You’re not looking for a professor, just somebody to love.
Sure, they know all about those mathematical equations, the mystery behind pyramids and history of Germany, but you’re looking for someone you can have a witty conversation with.
Now that you have come across almost all the signs of a Sapiosexual. Do you identify as one?
