So, you’ve decided to hit the club scene again—congrats! Here’s the lowdown on how to navigate a night out when you’re over 40, but still ready to have some fun.
- Over cocktails during a Girls Night Out, spend hours trying to pin down a date that works for everyone to go clubbing.
- For the next couple of weeks, text back and forth about which clubs are the hottest spots, even if it’s been ages since anyone has set foot downtown.
- Discuss the pros and cons of renting a limo or booking a VIP table for your big night. After all, if you haven’t partied in nearly two decades, it deserves to be memorable!
- As the club night approaches, watch your girlfriends drop out one by one due to “family commitments.”
- Vent to the ones still on board about what could possibly be more important than dancing the night away.
- In a last-minute scramble, decide on a club in the suburbs instead.
- Ponder whether suburban clubbing is a smart choice or a desperate move.
- Time to pick an outfit! You might start with a sexy black mini dress, but end up in a cozy turtleneck dress with fleece-lined tights. Practical, yet stylish enough for clubbing—or a PTA meeting, right?
- Arrive at the club with your pals around 10:15 p.m., feeling fashionably late—only to find you’re among the first to arrive. In the suburbs, it seems everyone’s already in bed.
- Gawk at the $10 cover charge and wonder if you could’ve snagged a Groupon to save a few bucks.
- As more folks trickle in, sip your drinks and consider running to the grocery store next door, just in case the party doesn’t pick up.
- Hit the dance floor and let loose, even if it’s just you and your friends shaking it out on an empty dance floor.
- Question why the DJ is pumping smoke when there’s hardly anyone to enjoy it.
- While lounging on a couch, get a friendly nudge from the bartender for sitting in the “VIP” section—yes, suburban clubs have VIP areas!
- Leave the club sweaty and exhausted, arriving home around 12:36 a.m. You’ll be thankful for a few hours of sleep before the kids wake you up.
