I saw this ad this morning and it made me think about how dance used to be our social currency--the skill you needed to have to be part of the social scene and meet others.
And then it made me think about what our social currency is now. Obviously, it'll vary for different groups of people, but here are some of the ones I've noticed in the past couple years of my life:
Wakeboarding.
Skiing.
Tennis.
Golf.
Climbing.
Surfing.
Trust me, I'm no expert in any of these categories, I've just noticed that these are some of the group activities I've often found myself invited to participate in...and either been seriously relieved that I'm half way decent at said activity, or absolutely mortified at the thought of hanging out with the group due to my utter lack of skill in the area.
I'm curious what other people/groups/geographical regions feel their social currency is.

I'll tell you one that is definitely true for everywhere I have lived... wating! Especially the eating of yummy desserts. :)
