I want to find clever friends

I want to find interesting people who I can chat about highbrow (and lowbrow stuff) with. I have friends but the ones who fulfil this brief and nourish me live far away and my local friends make me feel like I’m faking it.
I know it makes me sound like a dick but ‘clever’ is how I phrase it, I think I mean engaged.
How do I meet people who are like me? Have you?
my AIBU is - is it unreasonable to require this and look for it specifically? Or am I being a snob?

Is MENSA still a thing?

Yes. A thing for cunts.

Edited

Clever cunts though, as opposed to thick ones. 🤣

Thank goodness I found this thread op; I know exactly what you mean.
I went away last weekend for a couple of nights and by the third day I was tearing my hair out with boredom. They are kind decent people but we simply have the same conversations over and over again.
As someone said up thread it’s not necessarily about being intelligent, but having an interest and curiosity about the world around you. One of my friends must have talked about her shopping trip to Sainsbury’s about 20 times; I was ready to scream I don’t care.

I get that. My mother was like that except when she was gossiping with her own relatives about others
