AGE APPROPRIATE


Since I am going into my 40s (big 4 is just around the corner), I’m a bit conscious of the places I go to as far as Saturday night out is concerned.  I know this sound rather old fashion but in my opinion it is not at all fashionable to be boggie-ing until 5am anymore.  I’ve been there, done that - when I was very, very young and oh yes… it was fun and who cares about loosing precious sleep.

As I aged and getting much wiser, my ideal Saturday nightspot should be lounging at a place playing soothing relaxing music, never ending cocktails and lots of adult conversations.  And coupled with a series harmless act of flirting is nothing but an ego boost.

However my friend Sue has a different take entirely.  She’d rather join hands with the 25year olds, in a jammed packed club, ear piercing music and squeezing her self onto a shoebox sized dance floor and rubbing off other sweaty bodies.  Oddly, Sue has always been successful in slipping the idea while I’m on my 3rd cocktail.  It’s almost as if her words were drugged but lucky me - an hour later her druggy words wore off.  I’d realise of my whereabouts, the noise and youngsters pushing their way through and I feel old.   And there goes my night in ruin.

Despite of being told in the most loving way I could think of, Sue continues to suggest that we go out and shake our bom-bom and I continue to decline. 

So, is there really an age limit as far as Saturday night clubbing is concerned?
