How many people will you meet in a lifetime?
    #7991166 - 02/07/08 11:00 AM (16 years, 13 days ago)

Assuming you live to 80, and assuming you meet an average number of people each year, how many people will you meet?

We will say that "meeting someone" means you exchanged introductions with them, and we'll say it has to be in person (no internet friends :frown: ).

I found this page and he has it worked out to 4275 people. That seems a little high for me, I would estimate around 2500 (though I meet far less than your usual number of people).
How many people will you meet in a lifetime (80yrs)?
You may choose only one

I knew around 3000 people just while I was in high school.


I would say 10,000+.

That's an interesting question.
I'd be curious about how many people you meet would still remember you to this day.

I forget at least half the people I meet...and I mean totally forget, not forget about.

See, I "meet" new people everyday just because of the work I do.
But I don't consider those friendships.
I would have to talk to them about their life, get to know a few things about them more personal than just "Hello, how are you?"
We'd have to know each other's names and probably contact each other again some time later down the line.

That clerk you saw in the store the other day when you went to pay for that beer doesn't really count, you know?

Do you formally introduce yourself to every clerk who helps you? :wink:

Not at all, which is why I will most likely forget them, and they will forget me, unless this is a store I visit on a regular basis.

I meet new people all the time, but few my own age. I practice remembering names, but for some reason I never remember the first person's name when I meet groups of people. Unless, their name is Matt.

10,000+ easy I could never prove it, though. Too many people to remember.

I'm saying 10,000+ easy. I've probably already met that many honestly
