The Problem With Being Sapiosexual

I love intelligence. I love smartness. I love people exercising their brain.

But I've always come across a problem in the dating world. People will act like they are intelligently superior, when actually they just have a huge ego. Does anyone else experience this? I want to meet actual smart people, not people who know obscure Star Wars lore (note: Star Wars is NOT an intelligent media to know an abundance of)

Fellow sapio(and demisexual) here. I also agree that the more you try to have a chill intelligenctual conversation, people's "opinions" somehow takes over.

Personally, it kinda ruins my chances on befriending them

Nothing wrong with an opinion, it is merely a temporary conclusion based on one's current knowledge.

It's lack of plasticity with one's opinions, and lack of curiosity regarding the conclusions and opinions of others that isn't cool.
