Intelligent is sexy now
ner to be not just my lover but also my guide.”
Sharing her views on the sapiosexual concept, photographer and entrepreneur Priyanka Kamboj says, “Being a student of literature, I find reading about numerous concepts and theories essential as well as interesting. Be it understanding or submerging oneself in topics like the Oedipus complex or the concept of veil child, I find people who understand these notions thoroughly fascinating. I once met such a person at a party and we later connected on WhatsApp. When we spoke for the first time, the conversation lasted for hours as we touched upon our ideas on numerous intellectual subjects. I get to meet a lot of people courtesy my profession and it’s amazing how I get to know so many things through them.” Another Akansha Katyal says, “Philosophical, political or psychological discussions turn me on. Although attraction is not always connected to sexuality and sometimes platonic friendships between the sexes too are dependent on sapiosexual desires. This can often be seen in the workplace environment where a desire to be connected with intellectuals does not necessarily end up in an intimate encounter.”
Ravi Mittal, founder and CEO of online dating site, QuackQuack.in shares his personal experience. “I strongly believe sapoisexuality does exist. In fact, my girlfriend Sahana and I are a result of sapiosexual attraction. We met through a common friend and initially she was attracted to me but not in a way that made her sure that she wanted a relationship. Things moved forward only when she saw my public speaking (Toastmasters International) videos online. Only when she heard me speak confidently did things move faster.”
