How does one use daisuki properly?


I know "daisuki" means "big like," but what if I said "I like (daisuki) smart
people" in Japanese, instead of telling a single individual that "I like him"?
Would I be implying that I love/am sexually attracted to smart people as a
whole?




Yes that would be the general idea about 大好き as you would use love in English.

> 日本が大好き。 I love Japan.
>
> 東京が大好き。 I love Tokyo.
>
> お寿司が大好き。 I love sushi (in general).
>
> アイドルが大好き。 I love pop idols. (but surely you have specific ones in mind)
