You are not alone, I think there are many of us.

I love words and have a tendency to Grammar Nazi. Yes, I love people with big vocabularies and who can string together an interesting sentence. Once I see a sentence with U R in it, I'm pretty much done.

Good for you. The number one, no-compromise requirement I look for is a high level of intellect. Smart matters.

It definitely makes the relationship more interesting !

I like women with the same

You're a rare breed. I hear the term Sapiosexual used frequently, but I don't see the effect. My experience has been that women are attracted to smart guys because they think we're rich.

I am probably a quasi-sapiosexual. I'm really turned off by men with small minds, limited conversational topics, and can't even write a full sentence spelled correctly. Unfortunately those are the men who are attracted to me.

I'm finding my own company - and interacting in discussions online to be a better alternative, since it's unlikely I'd be finding a guy who enjoys good conversation at this point in my life.

I would say this is me, too. I'm also something of a demisexual, defined as "a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone" -- so in essence, both heart and mind take precedence for me. That's not saying I wouldn't feel any initial physical attraction, because I have -- but I never see it or feel it as anything more than that. More often than not, it's way more about what they say or do than it is their looks that will pique my interest to want to get to know someone better, and if I click more and more with them mentally and emotionally they become more attractive in my eyes.

I just blocked what seemed to otherwise be a good match on POF because suddenly he brought up "ghosts" in a damned creepy way, as in, "beware of them"
We had been exchanging lovely thoughts for about 2 weeks, and then that. Not "intellectual" At All! .

Holy shit! I wish there were more women like yourself.

Welcome to the club .

I can't screw ya if yer stupid......

Do you masturbate to the TED talks? lol

Could not agree more. I just find it creepy when a man lists it in his online dating profile.

Been awaay visiting friends for 3 days and come back to 3 pages full of post to go thru Sapiosexual ,sure has brought a lot of interests on this topic and nothing sexier than a very intelligent women who can carry on very erotic conversations with out being vulgar

Yes

The word has come up several times on this site. The first time I had not heard it before but then realized it is also something very important. However, one has to be careful with their vocabulary as it can come across as know-it-all and arrogant.

I like donuts!

Same here....

I'm a virtual thesaurus

OK

Hi I like your terminology---I meet women sometimes who don't seem super religious on the surface yet seem shocked when I share my non religion views later in the relationship--I guess timing is everything---up front is always a better position

Me too.....but then I guess I’d argue, who isn’t?

Why do you HAVE to get older to get wiser ! Wish I was exposed to this philosophy sooner in life.
I sure as hell know most of the current gen needs to have this sort of an outlook early on so we can avoid stupid relationships pitfalls and quit wasting time !

These comments are all very interesting. Perhaps Sapiosexual women express their interest differently. Maybe that's why all they want from me is intellectual stimulation.
