Sapiosexuality💯



The first time I came across the word ''sapiosexual'' was when I was reading a book about two years ago.


You know what it means right?


Sapiosexual means to be sexually attracted to intellectual or mental qualities, rather than to the physical body.


Most times, we all crosscheck physical attributes before we consider someone's proposal. 


We set qualifications within our hearts, most ladies say ''I want a tall handsome man with beards, six packs, dark or chocolate skin''


Some men say '' I want a lady with a  hourglass shape, beautiful, fair skin complexion, nice dentition and a moderate height.'' It's all good.


But what happens when you meet someone with the aforementioned attributes, you ignited a conversation and you started hearing ''My names is Cynthia, they calling me CT babies, I enjoying eating spagerri and shicken''


Oh mine!😲 Did you hear that?


Well, nobody would love to date a monkey. No matter how little, every body wants their partner to be admirable even though they said ''beauty is in the eyes of the beholder''


Sapiosexuality is the state of being sexually attracted to intelligence.


You see my kind of being ehn, I'm always receptive to learning and I jump on every available opportunity to expand my horizon of knowledge. I'm attracted to intelligence sha. Maybe I should say I'm sapiosexual.


You know the joy in my heart when I engage in a conversation with a man for the first time and it's so impressive.


Take this conversation for instance

Lollycious: Hello, how do you do?

Fine man: I dey, you?

Lollycious: I'm very well, thank you. How did your day go?

Fine man: Fine

Lollycious: (This is where I give up) OK


Another conversation

Lollycious: Hello, how do you do?

Fine + intelligent man: I'm cool, what about you?

Lollycious: I'm Okay too. How did your day go?

Fine + intelligent man: It went well although I'm quite bothered about this recent #EndSARS trend. Have you visited twitter today? There were videos of protesters who turned out massively in Lagos, Osun and Abuja. Nigerian youths really wanted to see changes in governance including me. I want accountability and we're never go stop making our voices heard. What do you think about this Phase 2 protest?


The difference between the two conversation is glaring. Why won't I like someone that has sense? I'm not saying you should be a talkative but be intelligent not ''over sabi'' or ''too know''


When you relate conversation topics with the books you've read, the year similar occurence had happened, a post you had seen on social media, a discourse you had with someone in that field and so on. All these melt my heart, I must confess. 


It's a blessing to have a kind of partner that's vast in almost all areas. That knows one or two things about technology, sports, heath, media, agriculture, history, business, the list could go on and on.


On a lighter note, it's not the colour of the car that ignites it, the engine does. We don't just want handsome dads but dads who would be vocal enough at PTA (Parents-Teachers Association) meetings, same goes with mums too.


Well, It's far beyond the looks for me, it's how intelligent you are. Be smart and handsome at least. Merge the two biko.


The truth is ''You Are The Kind Of Person You Attract.'' If your network is made up of people with shallow knowledge, you're likely going to be hooked with that kind of person. 


Choose with your heart but involve the brain too.


Now tell me via the comment box, beauty or brain???

    1. I think this described me perfectly. I was told you I got attracted to you because I got to know you are brilliant and that I love being around brilliant girls. I remember I called off a relationship with a girl I was to ask out just because she pronounced Baptist as Bamtist. So irritating. Thank you for adding to my vocabulary today, I didn't know a work like sapiosexual exists.

  2. Beauty. not being vocal at PTA meetings for instance is nobody's concern. I can not stand the thought of living with an ugly first class holder. Fluency in another man's language is not a criteria as far as i'm concerned. knowing what's trending in the outside world is also not a criteria. I'd be proud to say my wOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL

    1. Well, I appreciate your view but it would still be awesome when the complement is like ''your woman is beautiful and smart''

Jedi-Jedi 💊

It seems as if jedijedi (chop yansh chop yansh) was propagated the past few weeks because I can count the number of people that had it. Even as I speak, it's still not fully flushed out of my system. Although there is no accurate english medical word for it, pile or hemorrhoids is widely known as jedijedi in Yoruba and it's caused by sweet or sugary things.  It's symptoms include itchy anus, abdominal and lower back pain, erectile dysfunction, diarrhoea, general body weakness and many more. You see ehn, whenever I see these salesman in car playing their herbal mixtures jingles for protruding anus, I was always laughing and making jest of those that could have found themselves in that particular health condition or probably thinking it only happens to children. I was shocked when I noticed my anus has protruded too. (this thing na turn by turn sha) Lol. I knew my sugar intake would immensely increase when I could no longer prepare food at home due to a tight schedule. I leav

Overcoming inferiority 🤳

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot

Something big🔘

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress
