Classic vs the Romantic: The Grindr paradigm

If you have read the classic novel Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance, you would know the classic vs romantic understanding of the world.

A romantic seeks beauty in the exterior while the classical one seeks inner beauty.

I was reminded of this when coming across something similar in the paradigm of the gay world.

99% people I have come across on Grindr or PlanetRomeo are romantics of the hopeless kind. All they care about is sex. And all that leads to sex is the exterior. Classic examples of judging a book by its cover.

There is another rare breed like me that is more in search of other things. I'd like to be cerebrally turned on more than my phallus! To be able to hold a meaningful conversation & stimulate some intellectual thoughts is a lot lot more sexier than drilling a dumbo who suffers from an intense case of verbal diarrhoea & is intellectually-challenged.

Of course, to each is his own & there is no wrong with either schools of thought. However, the latter is a lot lot sexier if at all you've ever had the chance to s(experience) it.
