Most men working in Finance or Law in city of London are narcissists?

[PoliteEagle]

I am dating with an intent to find a serious relationship. I live in Kensington in West London and most of my local dates are finance or law guys. While they are very successful, their personalities are let's say ... difficult. All of them either had full blown narcs traits or at least being very selfish. A friend of mine says they are all like that and I should skip any guy working in Finance or Law and dont waste time with them. I will remove lots of people from my pool by doing so, but my experience so far confirms her words.. Would you agree that most men working in Finance / Law in city of London are narcissists and not really suitable for a relationship?

What @TwistedWonder said.... but you can apply that to lots of sectors that pay well and are city based I suppose. Dh works in media sales and the culture, whilst much improved, is still ego driven and misogynistic, and intolerant of diversity or difference, despite lots of lip service about promoting women and mental health first aid etc etc. The fact that a great
Number of them are regularly snorting coke as if it's a pint after work doesn't help. Makes already inflated egos astronomical.

Im a social worker and I hear Dh's work calls sometimes when we both wfh. It's a huge effort to stop my eyes rolling back in my head at the absolute shite his colleagues talk sometimes. But unfortunately that's what society seems to value and where the money is.

No...

People already told you you can’t expect keep insulting people for multiple days and get flowers back. Stop playing the victim and take responsibility for your actions. If i started fighting back it is just because the same people keep posting the insults. Telling you again you reap what you saw. Hopefully you will finally get it third time
for info. I can accept any opinions as long as they presented in a respectful way.

Considering that 1% of the general pop has NPD. I'd say lay off the pop-psych and go date people without your head full of this nonsense.

Small correction. Diagnosed NPD. 1% are those people who are diagnosed. Most of people do not get diagnosed for this, so their circulation in a general public is highly likely to be much higher than 1%.
when you meet one person like that, you would think well okay, second also well okay. When it comes that like 80% of people you are meeting exhibit such trait and what they have in common on a first glance is their occupation, you are starting to wonder. That’s why i asked this question.

My BIL works in finance not in London but another big city...he's a right arrogant wanker.

Surely its more than few men or women are seeking to have a longterm relationship with someone who has a dream of being unemployed.

😴

You can 😴 all you like, op. They’re not exactly queuing round the block, are they?

Well definitely not around your block

Eh?? I’m not in the market, you are. No takers, sadly.

That's why the figure is 1-5% to allow for variations. I have relatives in finance, I think they're quite tame compared to DP.😂

No. Why would it?

@PoliteEagle When it comes that like 80% of people you are meeting exhibit such trait and what they have in common on a first glance is their occupation, you are starting to wonder.

I can categorically tell you that 80% of the general population does not exhibit the traits you are describing, so if 80% of people you date are exhibiting these traits, then there is clearly an issue with you, and there is an issue with the men that you are choosing and approaching.

Why are you not understanding this?

"If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."

To answer your question. Because I am not approaching men. They approach me. I think we discussed it here already either with you or other poster.

Well shit.

There's your answer. Thread closed.

yeah i ve got the answers from multiple replies here. so all good
