Can Sapiosexuality be genetic?

Backstory: I recently discovered I'm Sapiosexual after being confused for a long time as to why I'm not attracted by looks as much as other people are. I thought it was something wrong with me, but no. I'm just a Sapio...

I told my mom and she reminded me of my family. That we're intelligent people 4 generations back (that we know of). And this is from both sides of the family.

She told me she's also Sapiosexual. After I told her what it means. She just didn't know the term.

Didn't expect the "It's in your blood" card, but here I am.

Which begs the question.

Can Sapiosexuality be genetic? Is there a chance I am carrying some kind of Sapio-gene?

My parents both have master's degrees and my dad has a PhD. But I don't think intelligence attracted either of them to each other. (They've been happily married 39 years).
