Mark Ronson has identified as sapiosexual

NC for this. I just read that Mark Ronson has identified as sapiosexual meaning he is attracted to intelligence. Is this a gender? I recently met someone who identifies as non-binary, she (this is one of her pronouns) is a lovely person, but I found that difficult and now this. AIBU to think I'm really out of touch and I just cant get my heard around it?

To me all these announcements just sound like a cowards roundabout route to coming out as homosexual.

TheBigFatMermaid · 19/09/2019 21:37

I am not attracted by poncy, bandwagonary, so he's off my list now!

doublebarrellednurse · 19/09/2019 21:38

I just call it a brain boner 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't think who you were attracted to ie straight, gay, asexual, pansexual, etc was anything to do with your gender.

Why are these people shouting about their identities and their sexual preferences? Do they think they are on tinder?

Surely they should rather be sharing this stuff with a partner on their first date. Not in the media.

Oversharing!

StoatofDisarray · 19/09/2019 21:40

Are you sure he isn't just being funny?

Juliehooligan · 19/09/2019 21:41

So basically he is too ashamed to call himself a notgettinganysexual?

@Redtartanshoes
babe change great typo
Have you babe changed for this

Closetbeanmuncher · 19/09/2019 21:41

The whole 'identifys as" movement makes my toes curl.

Stop being a tit and pick men, women or both already.

Absolute shite.

PortiaCastis · 19/09/2019 21:41

Oh another label hey, one day someone will identify as normal but if they want attention or have a new album out they can be whatever's woke this week to get in the media

Pikapikachooo · 19/09/2019 21:42

He wouldn't be attracted to me then

Are you sure he isn't just being funny?

I assumed that. In a tongue in cheek kind of way.

He does seem like a good humoured individual in his interviews and shows I've seen him on.

simonisnotme · 19/09/2019 21:42

what a complete attention seeking twat badger
i dont care whos religion, sexuality whatever they are as long as they are happy and dont shove it down everyone elses throat for, money, attention and just to cause trouble for anyone else who has to deal with them

Krisskrosskiss · 19/09/2019 21:43

Ah I see it's a cliclbair headline and he did not 'come out' as sapiosexual... he was just asked within an interview if he identified with that particular term and he said he did... so I think hes a bit less of a wanker. But I still absolutely HATE the term sapiosexual and think it's up it's own arse.

MissLadyM · 19/09/2019 21:43

Ironic as he's as thick as shit

NicolaStart · 19/09/2019 21:43

I was seriously worried for Mary Beard and then realised it is not Jon Ronson we are talking about.

Krisskrosskiss · 19/09/2019 21:44

*clickbait headline

Missingstreetlife · 19/09/2019 21:44

Is he being ironic, having a larf?

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 19/09/2019 21:45

Ooh, that's definitely me (but why the ever-loving fucking does it need a label)? Can the sexy intellectual ones be either male or female? Can even the ugly ones be attractive or is it only the attractive intelligent ones that count? [gets excited]

HeadintheiClouds · 19/09/2019 21:45

How on earth is it like saying you like a fit bloke with a big beard, Hiding? The beard is irrelevant, it’s just window dressing, but the bloke part is fairly definitive?

Baguetteaboutit · 19/09/2019 21:46

Isn't he a bit old for this carry on?

ChickenyChick · 19/09/2019 21:47

I LOVE this though, the more people identify as something baloney, the less it all means

Which is a good thing imo

gostiwooz · 19/09/2019 21:47

While this is truly bonkers, I can't help but realise that I've never fancied anyone who was thick Grin

dowehaveastalker · 19/09/2019 21:48

The world has gone mad. Who the fuck cares who anyone is attracted to?!?!?!

PositiveVibez · 19/09/2019 21:49

The multi-millionaire, Grammy award winning, music writer and producer?

Yeah what an absolute thicko 🙄
