Sapiosexuals say a person's intelligence is their most important trait - but others argue it is discriminatory

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual – these are all terms to help us navigate relationships and sexuality. Now, a label for those are attracted to intelligence is gaining prominence and sparking debates: sapiosexual.

Those who identify as sapiosexual see a person’s intelligence as their most important trait.

The term first rose to prominence in 2014, when the dating site OKCupid expanded the list of sexual orientations its users could identify with. Additions at that time included asexual, demisexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible, pansexual, queer, questioning and sapiosexual. But use of the term goes as far back as 2002, in a Livejournal blog post by a user named Wolfieboy.

In mid-October, the Sapio: Intelligent Dating app was launched, to cater for this crowd.

“Sick of superficial hookup apps?” its developers Humanist Dating LLC asked potential users on the AppStore. “Sapio is an evolution in dating apps, where physical and intellectual attraction are put on an equal level.”

1. We hear the term "dumbfuck" hurled about as an insult all of the time....

After a bit of thought, I have come to the conclusion that it involves drool on the pillow.
