My mother and my father would go frequently to the Gaming Casinos in Black Hawk and Central City. It is a little distant from Denver in the mountains and she would take the casino bus. Many of them were seniors going during the day and they would start socializing at the pickup points and on the bus ride. She developed a very extensive list of friends and they would meet together at the casinos for all the free give away stuff and the free buffets; they would trade all these coupons from all casinos. There was always events from concerts, drawings and more free stuff. My parents were not gamblers but it gave my parents something to do and they meet many people. I went occasionally with them and I could see you could meet couples and singles. It really did not appeal to me as I had no interest in those activities and at that time there was heavy smoking indoors, but no more. Also the people who go frequently are not my type of people as I need more intellectual stimulation than sitting at a slot machine for hours.
There are many such Casinos all other the country that have the same amenities for seniors. I have seen these groups of cavorting seniors running to the next event in Las Vegas and Reno.
Caring about others, and what they think and express, is the first step to having close friends.
I guess I did not express myself adequately. I am discriminating. Of course I care about my own taste and preferences first, and then those of the people I resonate with . . .I am not a fan of the masses and am not going to accommodate every person's random whim.

Reason: Stop with the personal stuff, okay? She was just explaining her position.

Now if there were similar activities for introverts, sign me up! An upscale traveling bookmobile that stopped at area wineries, perhaps?
There are so many creative people in the world, I am surprised there are not more group activities for introverts. It's a niche market that someone could really mine.

Isn't that a contradiction?
What would a group of introverts do together? Not socialize together?
And what has being creative got to do with anything?
I, and other people I know are very creative.......and very friendly,outgoing and sociable.
One does not necessarily preclude the other

Just because a person is introverted does not mean they don't want to socialize or have friends. The activities for introverts would be different than those of extraverts . . .maybe history walks, bookstore talks, museum touring, etc.
The point about creativity is that not much has changed in terms of entertainment ideas.

All introverts on a history walk or museum tour? hmmmnn.... that could be kind of boring. That is, if no one says much of anything...
Might be better idea for an introvert to go out and seek some fun loving extroverts. That's what I do, and it works.

I agree. It just conjures up visions of bunch of introverts in a group, each one talking to him- or herself because they're not comfortable talking with one another. That would be stimulating.

Why wait for someone else to do this? If you see a need for something, than it's a great project for you to take on. All good ideas start somewhere, maybe this will be your gift to the world.
