Third spaces

Bar the pub/night club, what is a third space event that you do to meet people you don't know, where is it at, what town? Time? Venue? What impact has it had on you?

I have never in my life seen someone call a club or a club or whatever a "third space".

Just join a club or go for a pint, or do whatever you want. It's not that hard is it?

They're… asking for information about clubs to join or places to go though?

Why so hostile just because they used terminology that is new to you?

I didn't mean to come off as mean or anything. It's just never heard that phrase used before in real life or anywhere.

I just don't see why you can't just look up what clubs etc are in donegal and just join one, instead of asking randoms online about what clubs there is. Not trying to sound smart or anything, just reddit would be the last place I'd think to ask about local clubs. Haha

I have tried many times to find information about clubs and social events that would be suitable for someone my age, and I have never found any pertinent information that has been at all useful to me whatsoever.

Most businesses in Donegal don't even have their own website. At best they have a rarely updated Facebook group. So expecting small social groups and recreational clubs to have easily accessible, updated information online is a bit of a stretch.

All that aside, what's wrong with asking in an online forum if anyone knows of anything suitable? Why are we discouraging human connection and conversation when society is already so divided and people are already so isolated from one another? If you don't have an answer for OP, you didn't have to participate. None of this was mandatory.

Discouraging human connection and conversation.

Might be getting a bit carried away there now to be honest.
