What American small talk sounds like to European 🇪🇺

  I’m a Brit. I was in Italy recently, and oh my fucking god, American girls are so fucking annoying. I’m sure they are as sincere as anyone, but the many conversations I overheard sounded so basic and vacuous.

  It got to a point where I was convinced the same group of early 20-somethings were going to all the same places that we were.

    American dude here, right there with you. Just some of these conversations you overhear from girls in their 20s or even 30s is mind numbing, and they can keep going until the sun comes up. And they’re loud.

    My wife and I saw Dead and Co last year at the sphere in Vegas, and there were these two women behind us that wouldn’t shut up the entire show, just talking like you’d envision two teenagers gossiping out their asses.

    I think a lot of it just comes from a complete lack of social awareness, and if they’re the slightest bit pretty, they’ve likely never been checked for being rude or obnoxious.

      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.

    Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

      And what group do those who post “I’m 14 and this is deep” esque comments fall into?

      Do you all just dive straight into existential dread? No foreplay?

    They usually sound much more “squeaky” than that though.
