Being attracted to intelligence is not wrong and not ableist/classist! amirite?

Wanting to be in a relationship with an intelligent person is in no way whatsoever politically incorrect.

Where is that listed One person's opinion certainly doesn't qualify as the popular opinion

Literally see it all the time on dating profiles and it gets to the point where they're saying you're a horrible person if you are sapiosexual or whatever!

If that's true I guess you're having an outlier experience with dating apps. Don't worry about the opinions of idiots. They are, after all, idiots.

by BeachResponsible7740 2 months ago

True, but I feel like it's a part of a bigger trend of calling EVERYTHING under the sun classist or ableist while not actually caring about people who need help. It's so infuriating because it's self-serving and they're just trying to be woke!

I hear you. On a serious note, please be careful letting this kind of stuff get to you. It destroyed my relationship with my dad and I started doing it too. There are some things we can't do anything significant about, and letting yourself get mad about it only hurts yourself and the people around you. "It is what it is."

Yeah, that's fair....it does happen....but I honestly think that in this case it happened enough times with strangers online to make me take note and raise an eyebrow.

I'm confused, tons of people are specifically including their disapproval with this on their profile?

FetLife is a wildly biased sample pool.

Agreed, but it seems to offend so many people nowadays!

Wait I'm not supposed to be attracted to someone for there brain? I've been doing it wrong. Better just stick with ass and titties then.

I don't think the association of intelligence with tertiary education helps - a lot of people assume that if you don't have a degree or higher, you're not intelligent. Obviously this isn't true.

by Acceptable_Ebb1187 2 months ago

Agreed! Intelligence has nothing to do with education level!

Yeah, it gets silly very quickly. I see it all the time....even people in my generation (millennial) saying stuff on their dating profiles like "you're a monster if you are sapiosexual" or something like that!

Did you just make up an issue then pretend you an unpopular opinion on said imaginary issue? It's not po0litically incorrect to like someone who is smart.

by Anonymous 2 months ago

I know it's not, but I keep seeing this on people's dating profiles. Why are you assuming I made it up just because it's not your experience?

An experience someone has doesn't define general issues. General issues are on a level of tons of people, population even. You yourself and a single occurrence you had doesn't define something that everybody else is doing.

The right answer is to tune out of a conversarion when you hear "ableist" or "classist".

by Otherwise-Play-9896 2 months ago

Hmmm....depends....because some things in society really are ableist....like public spaces that cannot be easily accessed by people who use wheelchairs. I just hate it when people use these words out of context and just to whine about their own insecurities, which is what I think those people were doing. They were probably just insecure about their level of intelligence so they tried to present it as a social issue and legitimize it that way!

People had a problem with this?

I've literally never heard anyone say that finding intelligence attractive is ableist or classist. I mean yeah, you're right, I agree with you. But who the hell believes otherwise?
