      In my 20s I had a memorable liaison with a 40 year old. Beautiful. Smart. Knew what she wanted. Reconciled with many of her issues for years. An incredible experience. I'm sure my upbringing contributed to my attraction to her, and being a sapio she satisfied my need to talk about more than what my peers were preoccupied with.

    • 2023 December 27, u/booksandpassion, “Question, are the fellow sapiosexuals also intelligent?”, in Reddit‎[5], r/sapiosexuals, archived from the original on 29 May 2024:
      I'm one that enjoys intellectual pursuits for my own entertainment, but not all sapios do. Also, navigating relationships with other sapios or non-sapios is something that comes up in this sub. There are a lot of really smart people that aren't sapio in the slightest, but have a SO that is attracted to their brain.
