I'm a Geek

I don't like it when people think they are smarter than me. Firstly, they're usually not (if they are indeed smarter, believe me, I will be the first one to admit it, and make a mental note to avoid talking to them in the future). Secondly, I can tell that they are responding to me in a way that makes them feel that it is actually true. Meaning that they will skim over all of the accurate feedback that I am giving to their banter. For example, they will say something that I could get involved in a conversation about, I will respond, they will pause and then continue with their point completely ignoring what I've said. Because they don't think my point is worthy, or intelligent. But then they'll use a word incorrectly, or something of that nature, reinforcing what I already know. Sit them down and ask them if they are smarter than me, and I know they'll say "yes". Sit our mutual friends down and ask their opinion and I think they would side with me. But even if I am right and this is true, the less-smart people are usually prettier than me, which is all that really truly matters.
