How many people does the average person meet in their lifetime?

Question

Just curious. In my job I meet hundreds of people a month.

I'd say not nec. introducing yourself but even someone you strike up a conversation with in the line at a grocery store or chat with online. This is just my random thinking, not a survey! :)

Answer 1

50,000 people in a 75 year life. thats my guess.

Answer 2

That is an interesting question...At this stage in my life, I would have to say, over a thousand. Through the experiences at college and work, people have crossed my path for different reasons, some have stayed and some have disappeared. It would make the building blocks for an interesting study but how would you document such a study. Sorry, just thinking out loud. I have considered the very same question. I guess the saying "things happen for a reason" can reflect on this question. That is definitely a philosophical question...one that is hard to answer, but interesting to ponder.

Answer 3

How can others assist you to already know methods a lot of human beings you will possibly meet on your existence. And besides it relies upon on your existence span too. The longer you reside the greater human beings you will possibly meet. So any estimate of the kind of individuals will comprise your existence span. How might you already know your existence span?

Answer 4

when you say "meet", do you count passerbys on the street, or people that you actually have to introduce yourself to? is this a consulting interview question?? (just cuz it sounds like it could be).

Answer 5

Does being on line count?

Answer 6

It depends if your a politician or not.

Answer 7

no idea but more than a million
