A model and practising lawyer has slammed people who think she can't have brains and beauty, as she said she often finds herself bored on dates because most men can't hold a conversation with her.
Denise Rocha, 39, identifies as sapiosexual, which means she is attracted to intelligent people and finds brains to be one of the most important traits in a partner.
But the woman has said she sometimes finds it difficult to connect with blokes on an intellectual level because most of the men she goes on dates with assume that because she's good-looking she can't also be smart - so they're unable to keep up with her highbrow conversations.
Denise, from Brazil, told The Mirror she can't stand it when men can only talk about one subject, as she sees it as a sign that they're not interested in "acquiring different knowledge", which is a turn-off for her.
She said: "There is no perfect man, but the concept of the term sapiosexual - for me - involves a set of factors. As an example, I like to be next to a man I can talk to about a variety of subjects, and who doesn't get stuck talking about just one subject.
"For example, if you are in a certain profession [but] you can only talk about it, [and] general subjects are not positioned, [it means] that you are not interested in acquiring different knowledge. This set of factors, for me, adds to a man."
The woman also said she hates "moody" men, as well as blokes who are "intolerant" of the people around them, who "run away from challenges", and who have "no ambition to grow in life".
She even detailed one disastrous date in which a man could only tell her how beautiful she was and had no interest in discussing anything else - leaving her feeling unsatisfied on an intellectual level.
Alongside working as a lawyer, Denise has also started working as an OnlyFans model to bring in extra income and said she decided to set up a profile on the subscription-based site after working as a model for lingerie and bikinis.
Although some people believe she can't be 'brainy and sexy' at the same time, many of her friends and family have supported her move to OnlyFans - especially after seeing the money she makes.
She said: "Many friends who had an opinion [on OnlyFans] and didn't speak up were unanimous in saying: 'You should have joined earlier, you lost a lot of money!'
"People haven't changed their ways with me, I've always worked a lot with lingerie, bikini and fitness stores, so when I opened my OnlyFans and they could see more, they loved it.
"Many are even curious to know what it's like. In a little while I'll even be giving a course on OnlyFans tips!"
Denise also hit out at those who think she can't be clever and good-looking, and has insisted she won't let people's "limiting beliefs" impact her work or her life.
"There is still a thought for some people that a lawyer cannot be beautiful and smart," she added, "these limiting beliefs on the part of some people, therefore, do not influence the creation of my content."
