Okay, so I know the clickbait-y title was a bit cringe. I’m 27, I’ve been a real estate agent for 3 years now after dropping out of college, and managed to bring myself up into the “luxury” market of real estate in that time. I’ll make just below $300k this year, which I think is pretty decent in this current economy of the US. My issue is, and I’m hoping many of you in this sub will be able to advise, is that I’m having an extremely hard time finding like-minded men to surround myself with. As mentioned, I just turned 27, I make 6 figures, in the gym at 5:30 6 days a week, got the nice car, etc, etc, etc. Now a lot of my clients I would consider friends, but they are all in their 40’s+, so not exactly my IMMEDIATE friends, I guess. My main friend group consists of the guys I’ve remained in contact with since high school or college, who are already acting like their retired and spending all their free time doing absolutely fuck-all, inviting me out to the clubs/bars at 10pm or later Thursday-Sunday, have ugly gf’s, talk about how nice it is that their job is wfh allowing them to play video games and watch Netflix the majority of the day, etc.

I honestly feel like I’m going crazy. I’m thinking of business ideas 24/7. I’m constantly looking for the next venture. I wake up extra early to watch Bloomberg before I start my day. I’m sure many of the men on this sub have similar mindsets, are you always this lonely? Do you always feel this isolated and individualized? If not, what type of efforts and where did you meet your “tribe”? I would do anything to be able to have someone to bounce ideas off of, or even start some new venture together, but I feel so isolated in my ambition.

    I can completely feel you. I am 19M and working on building 2 tech companies being invited and called to some of the best universities and networking event for incubation and networking. I am always so busy working on these two projects I hardly have time to socialize, even if I do have, I am surrounded by idiots in my college. The only thing these guys look upto is partying, clubbing, having s3x , wasting their time watching netflix and playing video games. There are very few people who are actually involved or even remotely interested in building themselves or building a value on the society. Even I stay alone most of the time. But I don’t discount my friendship and companionship. I would rather stay alone until I find someone than befriend idiots and become like one. Also I have seen if you befriend people far less successful than you, they start envying you for no reason and the last thing you need is envious friends in your life.
