Definition of “sapiosexual” from Urban Dictionary:
sapiosexual - One who finds intelligence the most sexually attractive feature.
“I want an incisive, inquisitive, insightful, irreverent mind. I want someone for whom philosophical discussion is foreplay. I want someone who sometimes makes me go ouch due to their wit and evil sense of humor. I want someone that I can reach out and touch randomly. I want someone I can cuddle with.
I decided all that means that I am sapiosexual.”

TBK, thank you! I finally feel diagnosed and understood.
But I have to admit there’s more to sexiness than smarts. As I wrote my guy yesterday while watching Meet the Press, it’s striking how, for being so smart, Bob Woodward can be so unsexy. Although he does have an irreverent mind, what he lacks is the wit and evil sense of humor. And that crazy little spark is a necessary part of philosophical discussion, if and when used as foreplay.

Confession: I had to look up the word “incisive.” Great word!
1. penetrating; cutting; biting; trenchant: an incisive tone of voice.
2. remarkably clear and direct; sharp; keen; acute: an incisive method of summarizing the issue.
3. adapted for cutting or piercing.

I go nuts for intelligent women. Maybe that’s also why I find glasses so sexy. (and yes, i am looking at you, TBK)
