Public tastes in the sexual image change according to the development of progress and human intellect. The level of intelligence was not the starting point by which a partner's sexuality and the possibility of building further relationships were measured. But such times have passed, and the style and lifestyle of a sapiosexual person has come to replace it. Emancipation, bright colors and revealing clothes give way to a slightly ridiculous look, thick-rimmed glasses, blouses buttoned up to the top, plaid shirts and backpacks of various sizes. Instead of empty talk, more and more young people are enjoying intellectual meetings, conversations on non-standard topics that require extensive knowledge in various fields. Girls stop liking pumped-up machos and the guys are empty blondes with legs from the ears and a thin physique. Sex experts argue that this state of affairs in the way of understanding the importance of intelligence is behind the development of progress and the prevalence of virtual communication. The level of intelligence is simply necessary to attract the opposite sex in social networks, forums and blogs. There, the voice and strength of the body go unnoticed and recede into the background.
What does the word "sapiosexual" mean?
The word "sapiosexual" derived from the Latin word «sapio» – thoughtful, intelligent, and the words "sexus", which means sex. Self-sexuals include those people for whom intelligence replaces other manifestations of sexuality in a partner.

The style of sapiosexuals is also called "geek-chic" – formed from eng. Geek, that is, "eccentric" or "smart guy". Wide eyeglass frames, comfortable clothing style: trousers or just pants, both for guys and women, plaid shirts, backpacks and scarves. On the covers of magazines, images of men who can hardly be called beautiful or fashionable, inflated, began to appear more and more often. More and more space is occupied by smart men, who prove their importance not with their strength and muscles, but with their mind, charisma, whose level of intelligence reaches the highest level. Such popularity of the image of the sapiosexual male is due to the requirements of the female sex. Tired of women being slaves of strong men who, with impunity, can use their strength not in favor of the weaker sex.
Even the heroes of films and serials have ceased to be just strong men without beautiful words and smart speeches. Who do the fans now love: the direct Sherlock Holmes, the dismissive Doctor House, the self-righteous Sheldon Cooper. Confidence in oneself and one's abilities, sometimes even a dismissive attitude towards others, a special charm is liked more than brutality or secular noble manners.

The girl strives to take the place of her mother and find a partner, like a father – smart, strong, loved. In turn, the son is trying to find a couple similar to his mother, so that she is both smart and beautiful.

They teach the child from infancy, and it seems to him that a partner in the future should be so smart and educated. Such a choice is made by a person outside of consciousness, the subconscious mind dictates the choice and sends hints.
Some sexologists explain the phenomenon of sapiosexuality by the development of progress. The craving for communication outside the real world makes young people use their intellect more than the charms of the body to attract the opposite sex. How to spot an interesting person with whom you can build a relationship or just make friends on social networks? Only through words. The ability to correctly compose smart sentences makes the person on the opposite side open or close.
