Comment on What American small talk sounds like to European 🇪🇺

This isn’t just women. It’s men too. Hanging out around 20 something dudes you hear the same lame jokes, same monotone voice, and same horrible takes. I can see a group of guys and tell you what each one will say before they say it. It’s just inane and pointless. Even worse in online game servers. Not a single original thought is found. And this is coming from a 40 year old guy who quoted anchorman all day while drinking through his 20s.

True enlightenment. The truth of everyone being lame as fuck.

There’s a particular pitch with the women where it feels like it hits the pressure point of my soul.

Nailed it with men. In my former friend group there was one guy they all liked more, they would literally lame joke/bad take each other for his favor. He and I would talk about it later like WTF he was just like yeaaah always been that way. Mid 20s.

I’m sure to them i was the lame fuck but when your gut tells you shit is dumb it’s time to find new friends.

i think with guys it just has an easier time becoming background noise because of the lower voices and generally lower level of energy in the speech, it’s more like “bro look at my car, that’s a sweet ass car, i like driving my car to do man things, you guys wanna go watch some sports ball?”

  Naw. I like girls and their energy. I much rather be with that then lame as fuck monotone “hot take” Braxton and his shitty views on women and cars and politics. All of which are just rehashed twitch streamer garbage.
