Do you know the human brain, also known as grey matter, may look mushy and kind of irritable to the eye but it can also the most attractive part of a person to the point of evoking a sensual feeling in a person?
I'm sure you have an idea where I am going with this….
It is noteworthy that not all brains can fit this description, only brains with a high intelligence quotient (IQ).
Have you met a highly intelligent man or woman surrounded by people who would give anything just to be close (in every way) to these brilliant minds? That's the law of attraction.
There is an unusual attraction that most people (let's say about 70%) feel towards those with brilliant minds. It is like being dazzled by such an intelligent mind that such feeling becomes sensual in most cases, if properly examined. Do you disagree with me?
There are two groups of people (in my humble opinion) —
Those who would deny such feeling that follows this natural attraction for fear of being labeled improper, and,
Those who would examine their feelings, recognize and accept that they are romantically attracted to intelligent minds. This second group of people are called sapiophiles!
Beyond appreciating the physical beauty of a person, most of us become attracted to people because of beauty that transcends the physical - beauty of the mind (brain). Our personality admires that other person's intelligence and we become drawn to them.
Some individuals put tremendous efforts into their physical looks just so they can be attractive to people. I don't deny the importance of looking good, we are also visual beings.
Remember, I mentioned 70% of human beings are attracted to brilliant minds? However, we have some 30% who do not care about what lies beyond the surface. The physical look takes the center stage and means everything to them. They are the ones who would give vivid, physical descriptions of their ideal man or woman. But experience has shown that relationships born from dependence on physical looks alone usually fall apart. It's like a house built on faulty foundation, it will crumble at some point.
Physical beauty fades with time because we are not immortal but the beauty of the mind is lasting and much more appreciated. Rather than focus on beautifying the outside (alone), channel that same energy towards developing and beautifying the mind. In fact, you can do both.
For sapiophiles, we (yes, I am one) would rather be romantically attracted and involved (you don't have to act on it, you know?) with people whose brains are beautifully brilliant. People we can relate with, hold intelligent, challenging, sometimes intellectual conversations and learn from them. Why? Because we want to grow and be better. We'd prefer to relate with people who would actively commit to making us better by the use of his or her brilliant mind.
You can easily identify intelligent people by the charisma that surrounds them, the way they write and speak. Sometimes, this charisma gives physical beauty as well.
I'm sure there are some sapiophiles who admire and are attracted to some users on Hive just because of their brilliant and well thought out articles. Any wonder why some Hive users have more followers? The law of attraction.
Are you a sapiophile?
