What does sapiosexual mean? Being drawn to intelligence, explained.
Sapiosexual describes finding intelligence intrinsically attractive — drawn to how someone thinks, not just how they look. It's less a formal orientation and more a descriptor for what draws someone in first: a sharp sense of humor, genuine curiosity, a good argument. Worth holding loosely, since plenty of "intelligent" people are still a bad match for reasons that have nothing to do with IQ.
