More intelligent, generally. My best friend is yards more intelligent than I am. Partially depends on the type of intelligence though. I have some friends at UCSB who are very very very bright guys, and I love hanging out with them except when they start talking in numbers... I'd rather hang out with a hyper-smart psych or English major than a hyper-smart physics major because my mind just doesn't work like that.

More, without question. That would assume, of course, that this more intelligent person was not condescending.

i hate people, but if i must be around some, i prefer someone of equal intelligence. stupid people drive me nuts, and people far smarter than i seem to all have the same annoying habit of going on and on and on with awful jokes and pure drivel.

man i hate people
