What's the Right Environment to Meet People?



Earth is a beautiful place to live with a ton of things to do, yet this doesn't mean it's an easy place to meet new people and make meaningful connections. Most everyone would agree that it would be nice to have some like-minded friends or a romantic partner to enjoy the world with, yet finding the right people to do this can be a challenge. In an effort to help, let's ask and answer the question: what's the right environment to meet people?

Challenges of Making Meaningful Connections


There are many different types of people living in the world, and especially in multicultural cities in America; this can make it difficult to meet the right type of people to be friends with.

Basically, making friends randomly with just anyone can be a negative experience, which is why it's important to meet people that share similar views, personalities, and circumstances. This doesn't mean meeting a carbon copy of oneself, yet meeting people that can relate to you is essential.

Despite what may be portrayed through cultural lenses, not everyone is perfectly at ease with the crowd, able to always have the right things to say and be the life of the party. In fact, the opposite is true with most people, especially young professional adults trying to find their way in a new city. This is why environments with drugs and alcohol typically aren't good environments to make meaningful connections.

Responsible and thoughtful adults should avoid involving alcohol in making meaningful connections. This is why environments like bars and concert halls are, usually, not the best places to get to know new people and make meaningful connections.

Work may be a good place to make meaningful connections, yet it can also pose problems if relationships go sour; also, meeting people at work is limited and doesn't expand a person's life outside of work.

A person could just walk around and visit places that interest them, hoping to randomly meet people and make meaningful connections, yet it's hard to randomly meet people that are in similar circumstances. Being at places of shared interest does help increase the odds of meeting someone like-minded, yet it's difficult to randomly start conversations, even when accompanied by a friend.

These are some of the challenges young and old people may have with making meaningful connections in large and small cities.

Conducive Environments for Making Meaningful Connections


Younger and older adults still want to have fun while meeting new people, so what's needed is a conducive environment for having fun and making meaningful connections. This means a comfortable and fun environment where people can get to know each other while focusing on a positive activity.

Also, a conducive environment would be a place where people are primarily there to make meaningful connections as well. The focus would be on something fun, positive, and universally appealing to the people there.

The activity or focus should allow the participants or patrons to converse and be themselves. Places like this could be a:
  • book review club 
  • hobby club 
  • art workshop 
  • spiritual study group 
  • board game night meeting place 
  • art group 
  • bowling/sports league 
These types of clubs and activities may be harder to locate than the typical bar, yet these are the types of places where meaningful connections are easier to make for the average adult.

The right environment for meeting people and making meaningful connections depends on the type of interests they have, yet by avoiding bars and "exciting hot spots" in favor of low-key, less popular environments, they'll have a better chance of making sincere friends and truly enjoying their lives.

Generation Alpha is the first to always know smartphones

They have never been in a society or world without smartphones. Is it a coincidence that the names of generations have just reset and begun again? From Z to A; have we as humans changed to a new alphabet and a new definition in sync because of the smartphone? Generation Alpha are the first humans to never know a time before the smartphone. They were or will be born from 2010 until 2025 . At most, they are 14 years old. Coming from someone who was around before the internet was in the public sphere, I would say the smartphone has changed people and our lives more than any other technological advance, compared to the radio, television, cable TV, and household internet. Memory has the rollout of the smartphone to the masses around 2008. My wife and I got our first smartphone around 2010. So, younger Gen Z, all of Alpha, and those coming have never known a society or world without smartphone technology. It just happens that the new alphabet distinction started right at this technological t...

Will drones be used to control humanity?

Considering drones in our future. Drones are remote-controlled, battery-powered flying machines basically. Usually controlled by a human, sometimes automated by bots. They have become popular in recent years for their use in the Ukraine/Russia war. Drones in a Future Dystopian World I’m not an expert on drones, nor have I researched the technology or uses in-depth. Exploring the potential they offer with a larger perspective doesn’t require this expertise, rather, it requires a knowledge of revisionist history more so. I realize the average person doesn’t have much say in the proliferation of drone technology, any more than we do with wars started for reasons unknown. With this said, consider the potential of drones being used to control people in a future dystopian world. Drones powered by AI and smart technology, used for surveillance and enforcement with weapons; with heat-seeking sensors, long battery life, and hooked up to the internet and apps. Think about it, drones built in var...

How Different Would We Be Walking In Another Person’s Shoes?

Biological vs. environmental influences in a person’s makeup. If we walked in another person’s shoes, how different would we be from them? The old adage asks an important question; one that may have more than one answer. The crux of it is related to the psychological discussion on what is the most influencing factor in a person’s personality and psychological makeup: biological vs. environment. I think the prevailing belief among the masses leans toward the biological side, yet the truth leans toward the environmental side. Both are important in the ultimate makeup of who and what a person is and how they behave and think. It makes sense that the environment a person is around will have the most impact on their makeup. Who their parents were, if they had both parents, siblings, etc. The factors are endless, yet their culmination is a uniquely influenced person, a societal creation, a manifestation of social mores. The main factors are: Parents/guardians Siblings Friends/acquaintances F...
