Believe it or not, I'm an English teacher asking this question and I'm too lazy (actually too sick) to get up and look it up. Thanks.

No I don't believe it, but here's the answer: He is more friendly than SHE is, not more friendly than HER is.
If you were an English teacher you would know WHY this is the correct answer, and you couldn't possibly not know the answer.

He is more friendly than she is
Mind, I have always found her to be the more friendly of the two. But, then again, you probably know them better than me

I remember taking an english course back in highschool, and I beleive saying "He is more friendly than she..." is the correct way (in terms of writing). It sounds funny because we don't say it when we're having normal conversations. When we're talking we use slangs and people often say the wrong words.
Also when you're referring to youself... instead of saying "Me and my friend", "My friend and I.." is the correct way and should follow the same type of rule.

more friendly than "she." The comparison means that "she" is still in the nominative. I'm going into my English rant now....anyways, think about it with the verb "to be" after it: "He is more friendly than SHE is" sounds better than "He is more friendly than HER is"

He is more friendly than SHE (because if you continued the sentence, you would say that He IS more friendly than SHE IS).

Mariya is an idiot.
Extend the sentence and you will always know how to answer questions that are similar to this one: He is more friendly than she IS FRIENDLY."
Mariya would have you saying "He is more friendly than her is friendly."

You really don't need my answer, but the "she's" have it. He is more friendly than "she is".
