Search Results: intelligence attractive

Here's a definition one finds when looking up sapiosexual: "One who finds intelligence the most sexually attractive feature; behaviour of becoming attracted to or aroused by intelligence and its use".

On dating websites, I have seen scores of women calling themselves sapiosexual. I am highly intelligent myself (Mensa member and i could elaborate but that would be boring) and from my experience I have never observed any particular reaction of women to the intelligence of some men... nor in the opposite direction but I don't know that men call themselves sapiosexual as much as women do.

So I'm wondering if this is some form of narcissism on these women's part... some claim to be intelligent by proxy, by signifying their interest in an intelligent partner. Or if this is real, in which case I'd like you to elaborate on concrete manifestations of your (or some other woman's) sapiosexuality.
