There r various definitions that describe
Sapiosaxuality, but probably d best 1 says it's d behavior of
becoming attracted 2 or aroused by intelligence and its use. Even if
sapiosexuals often consider a nerdy discussion 2 be a
great foreplay, connotations go far beyond sexual ones only. They also often find specific
humor, wit or meaningful discussions with others irresistible. If we extend d definition a bit, I believe sapiosexualism as a lifestyle could be a good path towards d various levels of relevant breakthroughs, but I'll come 2 this part @ d end. Lets 1st try 2 explore few characteristics of AN AVERAGE SAPIOSEXUAL.
So, BENEFITS of being an average sapiosexual include:
- he/she is focused only on maintaining meaningful relationships
- possesses a critical mind which tends 2 aks lot of "WHYs?"
- oriented towards sharing knowledge & educating others
- often imaginative & quite individualistic
- hungry 4 knowledge, often @ d source of information
- commonly rich in various (un)conventional experiences
- easily satisfied with d very best (encouraging themselves & others 2 achieve their best)
- ...
On d other hand, DOWNSIDES of being an average sapiosexual include:
- it's often draining
- not easy 4 him/her 2 fully shut-out
- enjoy discussions with like-minded ppl, otherwise get easily bored
- r often considered "acquired taste" in social interactions
- may frequently fell misunderstood or lonely
- often considered 2 be a "knowledge freak" or "grammar nazi"
- easily satisfied with d very best (easily disappointed since expecting others 2 share same standards which is not realistic)
- ...
Question which may come up 2 your mind is whether u're born as a sapiosexual or u can become 1. As usual, I believe truth is somewhere in between. Of course that some of your character traits r in born, but big part of who u'r as a person comes from who u were surrounded with while growing up or later on. Regardless of d origin, capabilities or status, nobody should feel discouraged or ashamed 2 think in any case.
Coming back 2 d part how we may push d whole society 4ward by nurturing sapiosexualism- I believe each 1 of us should act within his/her sphere of influence by promoting intelligence as a virtue, fighting ignorance/stupidity, helping others resist sensationalism or consumerism etc. It's not easy and it includes several forms of mind shift (as a holistic result of @ home education, in school education & self education). While some changes in d macro environment usually need longer 2 become evident, shorter term wins should include improvements on d personal level (i.e. increased awareness in various fields, higher confidence or competence levels...). Finally, striving 2 become d best possible version of yourself is what should be ultimate goal 4 all, right? And if none of this works out, @ least it's good fun :)
