Getting drunk and ogling attractive drunk strangers — amidst flashing lights and ear-blasting trance music.
Or puffing ring after ring of white smoke as you crib about how your boss is wringing dry your life.
How the hell is this “socializing” beneficial?
In any shape, way, or form?
The Right Way to Handle Your Social “Currency”
Think of every minute you’re out in the sea of humanity as a dollar.
Most spend this dollar. Instead, invest it:
- Exhilarating experiences — like scuba diving, bungee jumping, sky lining, motocross, and skiing.
- Fun and memorable activities—go-karting, rifle shooting, hiking, bowling, kayaking, and camping are a few.
- Physically challenging activities — lifting weights, long-distance biking, rock climbing, training MMA, or taking a salsa class.
- Enriching solitude — thrift shopping, dropping by bookstores, visiting museums. The catch here? Let serendipitous encounters with strangers happen.
