The Hook Up · Sapiosexual - aka when smart is sexy · 9 Jul 2019 podcast

I don't think it's very scientific at all if some guy just invented it on his blog in 1998 to describe the way he viewed the world and how his attraction worked. matched

And then he matched

together a little test that's not very scientific because I did it. matched

It's just like, yeah, this looks like it's really biased towards I like smart people, tick the right boxes, and then you're going to get the result that you need, right? matched

it showed that I think 1 to 8% of young people, like people aged 18 to 35, were interested in intelligence using those matched

It sounds like it's more a description for a way people are viewing things, but then, you know, it runs on a continuum. matched

So there are some people who are genuinely describing what they're looking for, and I can see that, but I can also see some people using it to chest beat or matched

up themselves or to try and gauge other people's intelligence and how actually can we do that when we're out there dating. matched

It's really about the feel and the conversation. matched

Sure, it's the talking and... matched

It's interesting because it's how you're defining it. matched

Like I will be jumpy about it if people start talking about spelling and grammar and things like that. matched

I'm like, well, that's one way of looking at it. matched

And, yeah, I think if you're using it to look down on other people, it's not cool, not at all. matched

If you're sort of trying to describe the kind of people that will float your boat and get your juices flowing, that's a little different and maybe you don't need to use the term sapiosexual. matched

There was sapiophile that was around for a long time matched

I'm really interested in the articles that talked about the way people are related with each other. matched

So people enjoying a talk more or, you know, getting very excited, seeing their partner's eyes light up when they're having a thoughtful and inspiring conversation and using that as foreplay, I can attest to that, right? matched

So, but that's me. matched

Other people don't want to talk like that. matched
