    No idea where this meme template came from, but I love it. Not because I think it’s laughable that someone like Sydney Sweeney could be a nerd, but the idea of a pigeon-holed celebrity busting out facts like that out of nowhere would be awesome.

    If a woman approached me in a bar and said this I don’t care what she looks like. Polysyllabic vocabulary is my kink.

      Attraction to intelligence is called sapiosexuality, and I wholeheartedly concur.

          Despite having “sexual” as its root, sapiosexuality is an attraction-defining term, not to be confused with a definition of sexuality. Like other attraction-defining terms, it’s not exclusive.

            I just hate labels. I like what I like. Not just smart people. Not just pretty people. Not even people with specific genitals.

            Why does this comment start with “despite”? Aren’t all [something]sexualities “attraction-defining terms”?

              Traditionally speaking, the terms heterosexual and homosexual tend to be exclusive by omitting attraction to the opposite sex. I was clarifying that a sapiosexual is not exclusively attracted to intellectuals.

              *Now that sexuality is defined as a non-binary spectrum, some may disagree with my use of “opposite sex.” I admit I don’t know the correct way to convey the idea. I don’t mean to offend.

    Oh yeah? Well, I think assigning taxa based on morphology alone is an outmoded process!
