Can someone be sapioplatonic?

Well, the way the split attraction model works is that pretty much any prefix that can be placed before -sexual or -romantic can be placed before -platonic.

However, if you want my honest opinion on the term sapioplatonic and the sapio- prefix? I think it’s ableist. Plain and simple. I’m open to debate and discussion if you want to, but overall I think that the whole concept of “intelligence”, as well as every way we measure it, is ableist. And I think “attraction to intelligence” can be so easily twisted into exclusion of the intellectually and developmentally disabled.

If you only experience platonic attraction after a mental bond is formed with a person, the terms encephaloplatonic or noetiplatonic may be better. Here’s a link explaining noetiplatonic, and encephaloplatonic is pretty similar. https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Noetiplatonic-869557482
