<![CDATA[Sapiosexual]]>One who finds the contents of someone elses mind to be their most attractive attribute, above and before their physical characteristics. From the Latin root sapien, meaning wise. The term is now becoming mainstream with dating apps such as OkCupid and Sapio giving users the ability to define their sexual orientations as Sapiosexual.
For many, defining oneself as Sapiosexual is also a statement against the current status quo of hookup culture and superficiality, where looks are prized above all else.

Its a new term that usually means youre attracted to someone who is able to explain things like scientific theories or philosophy or write poetry. Its basically whatever their specific idea of intelligence is.
This is more accurately labeled as a preference since sexual orientation refers only to the genders that you are attracted to. It does not include a concept like intelligence, which cant be clearly defined for every person.

People genuinely attracted to intelligence know that the word “intelligence” is derived from the Latin “intelligere”; that the Latin participle for wisdom is “sapiens,” not “sapio”; and that the Latin “sapio” means something that tastes good.
