I'd like to meet:

Friendly people. Those who love politics like me. And those who don't but can stand me talking about it! People who are intelligent and know about current events and progressive issues... and can carry a decent conversation about any and all of that. And people who can stand me running my mouth and acting silly. And hot boys. People who can stand me singing the lyrics to every dance song and every 80s song. More hot boys. Folks who don't think they are superior to others for whatever reason (god I just HATE that). Friendly, non-shallow, non-materialistic folks. And people who are completely different from me so we can get to know each other :-) And of course, more hot boys. And that covers just about everyone.
