I agree with having a type. To rescue a kernel of a concept, I do think getting excited about a hobby or special interest is attractive to others. My exhibit A are the TikTok memes of people getting smitten when their partners excitedly yap. I can see why people call it being Sapio because (afaik) there isn't a name for this idea yet.

    This is literally what my partner says. She loves it when I gush about things I'm really interested and love, and I love it when she does. Idk, there's something really attractive about peeople being earnest and competent.
