Has anyone noticed there’s a weird trend with guys aged late 20s/early 30s who seem to think everyone is an idiot except them?

Maybe it’s just because I’m currently in this age group that I’m noticing this, but I’m not originally from the uk. A lot of guys who figure out I’m from the US almost always without fail ask why I moved to England. Over the course of the conversation they end up talking about how they want to move abroad and work freelance. Seriously 9/10 guys seem to have this mindset. The issue is 9/10 of them are either still living at home or with roommates and just do not have the skillset to land the jobs they think they deserve. Most of them also seem to have a huge ego and feel like their lack of professional success has everything to do with factors outside their control and nothing to do with them. Has anyone else noticed this?

What does people asking why you moved to the UK have to do with the rest of your post? Of course people will be naturally curious

They mainly shit on the uk after asking me that. Which leads to them saying they want to leave to make more money

Sounds like you are hanging around with typical idiots, I'm surrounded by them myself. Why did you move to the UK, might I ask? I'm planning to move abroad and start freelancing...

Mainly the ones on Reddit who come on to moan about how everyone else is an idiot... 😉

No. It's a pretty standard thing in younger people. But ever has it been thus, young people think they've got it all figured out and anyone whom differs is a fool. Hardly know anybody late 20s onwards who has stayed in that attitude though. It's perhaps to do with the sort of guys with whom you cross paths. Maybe you're in social circles and situations where you're more likely to meet poorly adjusted men.

Not particularly, no. Young people have always thought they understand the world better than they do, but that's normally gone long before they hit their 30s. I'd guess it's just the people you're hanging around with if that's the majority.
