What brought this on today. Here we go again. [quote=@SleepingSilence] Sapiosexuals: A person who finds intelligence sexually attractive or arousing. Me: Oh, so they like smart people or people that can at least act professionally.[/quote] Intelligence, or say 'smart people', has been a factor in dating and relationships for decades, well before sapiosexual was even a thing. How many times have people said "I want someone I can have a conversation with" or some dilution of that? Intelligence is a thing many adults look for in a partner, especially someone that is looking for a serious or long term relationship. It's a factor the same as wanting to know what sort of job a partner has is a factor. Wanting your partner to be smart isn't a new or novel thing. Sapiosexuality as it's used these days has less to do with 'I want someone to talk Freudian to me' and more to do with people narrowing their own pool and being somehow more shallow than people who go for 'Chads'. Wanting to only date people that are exactly like us ruins a good part of what makes dating an enjoyable and social experience. Stating that you're looking specifically for intelligence without actually qualifying it makes you look pretentious at best. What's the metric there? Is someone who doesn't know things about Kierkegaard unintelligent? Does it make them a pleb because they don't know Sartre from Proust? Would someone who said 'expresso' be a deal breaker? By having the metric of 'smart people only' you're limiting your dating pool. You're not unique by wanting an intelligent partner and I sincerely doubt someone who is sapiosexual is going to suggest "Not tonight, dear, let's debate theology" when the topic of sexual intimacy is brought up. Seeing 'sapiosexual' on a dating profile is a shorthand for 'is probably a pretentious twatwaffle'. I'd honestly love to talk with an actual sapiosexual and have a discussion with them regarding dating and such but as it stands sapiosexual seems like people wanting to hop aboard the special train to considerationville. So yes. I stand by what I said here. I'll even reiterate. [b]A lot of sapiosexuals seem like the worst people to date[/b] [quote]Nah, that makes perfect sense coming from you. Don't call yourself such foul things. Because I know how you think, it's not a badge of honor.[/quote] It's only foul if it's spoken with hate. If you called me a bitch it would be foul. If I call myself a bitch then it's fine. Hell, if people in this topic called me a bitch it'd be fine. I'm sure I have been, or at least been thought of as one. I've been called worse and by nicer people. I never considered it a badge of honor until right now. It's self deprecating. That's my shtick. [QUOTE]I'm civil to people who are remotely respectful. But since you know best, yeah ofcourse saying "drop this please" is about the most passive aggressive, victimizing comment a person can make. I behalf apologize for clearly not seeing the error of my ways. So let me act like you now, the clearly better option.[/quote] Oh my god dude you're doing it again. The literal thing I said you have a habit of doing you're doing it. You have to be fucking with us, right? Because I can't fathom it. You know as well as I do that this [quote]If you actually read my paragraph long comment, it would've been clear. [...] And if this somehow become 6 different replies in my inbox, I'll be done discussing with you as well. [...] Now back to anime. Have a good rest of your afternoon.[/quote] As well as other posts in similar vein that I'm not gonna backtrack for are not at all the same as going 'drop this please'. You're fucking doing it again right now with the passive aggressive shit like "Oh SURE, your way is SOOO much better". Like shit, man. The topic had moved on. Moved on to more interesting discussions. You get on us for baiting you but you're the baitmaster and I'm taking it. [quote]You're entire comment which didn't understand shit, made a bunch of bullshit talking points and also basically did all that you excused me of doing, made you seem like an unbelievably thick vapid cunt. For clarification, I'm [i]not[/i] calling you that. [/quote] [CITATION NEEDED] I'm starting to feel flattered here, Sleeping. But sorry, I don't date sapiosexuals. Also I'm kinda spoken for. [quote]I also officially give zero fucks how I come across to people on here, [b]because the peaceful route hasn't gotten me anywhere.[/b] So fuck it, I have nothing to lose. <.< [/quote] I mean it would help if you ever came off as peaceful rather than doubling down on being a victim as soon as your side was challenged. You seem to take a lot of this stuff personally, man. If this is the stance you're going to be taking from now on then I reserve the right to refer to this post once you start trying to say we're baiting you and attacking you when that's just untrue.
