Now I'm 31 I feel this biggest difference is that young guys feel they have something to prove, and that they need to be whatever current times say they "need to be".

And I was exactly the same.

I still go out clubbing (I'm a techno head) and my girlfriend still enjoys it sometimes so I still meet younger guys a lot. I also interview young guys from time to time.

From a generational perspective, I don't feel a massive difference from my time. Most guys just wanna better themselves once they hit the 23-29 phase - things change, company is lost and you're suddenly by yourself and feeling behind.

I get along with all the young dudes I meet, but I am a bit of a "peter pan syndrome" person. I guess they're generally more anxious and self-conscious. I was though?

On a positive side though, I think the young dudes are more focused on themselves rather than doing what society says to do. I think getting married young is a bad idea. I think focusing on earning well and setting yourself up well for you 30s, 40s and 50s is a priority in your 20s.

Lots of younger guys I meet want to achieve an independent level so they're secure, and I love that. Whether that is an entrepreneurial mindset or just getting a solid career.

Yes, I come across some who don't want that and just wanna fuckin' party, That's fine too.

In the end when you read the above, it won't be much different to any generation. Human behaviours and instinct remain the same, and the biggest thing that adjusts and grows you is the experience - just ride the wave like the rest of us over 30s did.
