Spencer's attraction to multiple genders is evident. However, he prefers intellectual connections over physical appearances. Essentially, Spencer is sapiosexual, finding intelligence the most appealing trait in a partner.
Spencer Reid's is attracted to intelligence. Known for his own intellectual prowess, Spencer finds deep connections with those who can engage him in stimulating conversations and challenge his mind. His attraction to intelligence is likely rooted in his appreciation of knowledge and unique perspectives of highly intellectual individuals. This preference aligns with his personal values and importance of mental compatibility in relationships.
That's why Spencer was so deeply in love with Maeve, who matched his intellectual curiosity and shared his passion for knowledge. Their connection was built on meaningful conversations and a profound understanding of each other's minds. Maeve's intelligence and insight captivated Spencer, making their relationship truly special and deeply fulfilling for him. Even when they had never seen her in person, Spencer was captivated by Maeve's intellect and emotional depth. This unique bond, formed purely through their mental connection, was a testament to intellectual attraction. It highlighted how deeply he valued minds meeting over physical appearances.
Spencer's relationship with Cat Adams, however, was more complex and adversarial. Cat, a criminal mastermind, posed a significant intellectual challenge to Spencer, creating a twisted dynamic rooted in their mental sparring. Despite the dark nature of their interactions, Spencer's engagement with Cat demonstrated his attraction to intellect, even when it came from a place of cunning and manipulation.
Lastly, Elias Voit presented yet another intriguing intellectual puzzle for Spencer. As one of the most prolific serial killers, Elias engaged Spencer in complex mental games, quoting literature and philosophy to challenge his perceptions. This dynamic, though dangerous, captivated Spencer's mind and demonstrated his enduring attraction to intellectual stimulation, even from the darkest corners of human nature. Elias often quoted Oscar Wilde, particularly the character of Lord Henry, to provoke and unsettle Spencer. These references to Wilde's work, known for its wit and moral complexity, added layers to their interactions, forcing Spencer to confront challenging philosophical ideas. The intellectual duel between them was not just a battle of wits but also a test of Spencer's moral compass, as he navigated the implications of Lord Henry's provocative worldview.
