Mark Ronson has identified as sapiosexual

[Idontgetit101]

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?

It's a bit of funny one.

I mean finding intelligence at the active is as old as the hills, but it would be that you're homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual and find intelligent people of the appropriate sex attractive.

I don't quite get what he's announcing. Does he mean he finds anyone intelligent attractive regardless of their gender?

So he's pansexual and likes intelligence? Why does that need categorizing?

So if as a woman i find men with dark hair attractive. Do I need to say I'm homoeumelaninfolicalsexual?

I am as sure as I can be that it was a joke.

Oh thank GOD. I misread the title and read half the thread thinking we were talking about JON Ronson! What a relief!

Actually, with some of the things Jon Ronson has been saying lately I wouldn’t be surprised at anything!

Does he fancy Jacob Rees-Mogg then?

I am as sure as I can be that it was a joke.

Yes, he tends to have a dry sense of humour.

You have all gone crazy! As have the press it would seem. There really is a very straightforward explanation if you look at the context.

Attracted to saps.

It's been an option on Plenty Of Fish for years.

Does he fancy Jacob Rees-Mogg then?

Hardly. It's intelligent people he fancies, not people who pretend to be.

FFS he didn't actually say this, not in the context the OP is suggesting

If he did say it to take the piss out of SS, then it's top trolling, I have to say.

But he's mates with Miley Cyrus is he not? Who managed to have some sort of LGBTQIAlphabettiSpaghettiSoup+++ marriage didn't she? Despite being a woman who married a man. Apologies if I misremembered this - haven't googled. It's possible I'm getting my attention seeking celebs confused

His sister is a mumsnetter.

I'm caniosexual and feliosexual - he must like dogs & cats in the house

Oh I’m thinking of Calvin Harris, scrap his sister being a mumsnetter...wrong person!

FFS. He must love watching sheepdog trials, they're really clever creatures.

And dolphins. They might be wankers but he'd still give then the eye I bet

New fangled way of saying personality is more important to him than looks.

Once you keep it age appropriate,consensual and within the species anything goes.

What about birds? But only the ones that won Bird Brain of the Year, obviously.

Ha, why does that not surprise me in the slightest on here if so?!

Nobody posts something out of context on here to get people frothing, with no sources, noo! Doesn't happen, refuse to believe it lol
Links, people, links - so people can see for themselves what was actually said
(Although I stand by my earlier post which says I'd never heard of sapiosexual before)

So now I need to know the source for this to be able to comment properly.
Fuck me, MN is bonkers sometimes lol

It's the fact he has to 'identify' as this nonsense that makes it so risible. He's attracted to clever people, that's all. I like people who don't take themselves too seriously, but I don't identify as a notmarkronsonsexual.

Apparently intelligent women get less dates. Which is depressing.

We don't need to date.

Never heard of Mark Ronson. Which probably means I'm not intelligent enough to be attractive to him. Good-oh.
