| Can you party hard like a 20yr old when you are over 30?
Posted: 5/1/2007 8:43:18 PM | I would never want to do this every night, but if I met my 20 year old self, I could drink his ass under the table, then play nasty pranks on him. Bah! My younger self hadn't had time to build up a proper tolerance. I can also stay up much longer than when I was younger and don't need near as much sleep in order to function.
Bring it on you young pups! | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 4:10:55 PM | | Used to do some of it when I was in my 20s but never really did like it much. Now I just dont do it because the types of people you meet in there are not the types of people I want as friends. Now don't get me wrong once in a while I go out with friends and play some pool or watch them drink a little at the local hang out but I don't drink any more so its more for sociallizing with friends than anything. | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 7:35:49 PM | Much depends on what else you have to do in your life.. 20 year olds have a lot more free time and less responsibilities so they can get away with it.. Also they are not so jaded..
At the age of 42 I was regularly hitting the clubs with my sons and nephews, got stuck in, danced like a lunatic and pulled the young ladies better than the young uns..
Drinking has never been something I overdo, whats the point?
Physical fitness has a lot to do with it.. Most folk are clapped out and keep take the pace, even when young..
Now, at 44, I have finally come to that point, at long last, it just seems childish and pointless.. Thank god I dont have to waste all my time on throwing my energies and money up against a wall and back to those capitalists who take our money!
Pipe and slippers, here I come! | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 10:35:23 PM | Look, I'm 50 and I just am not interested in partying like I was 20. I can but I no longer find the pleasure in partying and puking my guts out just to feel lousey the next day! I have once or twice since my divorce but don't feel it was worth it! | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 8:11:38 PM | | Does different "strokes for different strokes apply here"....I never was one even in my 20's to party all night, so why start now?....but I can say that I have pulled an "all nighter" at work in order to meet an important deadline and while in college I pulled an almost all nighter studying for important tax exam with the help of a pot of coffee....you gotta let common sense apply here...... | |

Peeing in a hotel lobby when you're in your 30's......WELL.....isn't so funny.
Sure.....I STILL like to party......it's just different today. | |

Posted: 5/5/2007 10:26:35 PM | | You're frame of mind changes when you turn thirty (Well...in some of us it does.)...party time just loses it's luster as you get older. That's not to say you won't be a party animal from time to time...but the "Hard time partier" is going to eventually phase out of ya. Your liver will be greatful. But don't forget that life moves on...and so too will your party buddies. Nothing lasts forever. Except Dolly Parton's breasts. | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 3:05:26 AM | LOL.. Well some people seem to have the everlasting youth or are trying to pursue it. As for me well I stopped partying about 10 years ago because I realised I had to recover for 3 days after 1 night out. LOL. So I don't party anylonger, but that doesn't mean I don't go out. I'd rather go out to a restaurant then party all night long till 5am. If I do, I do know for the next 3 days that it feels like i've been run over by a truck. LOL.. And I don't even drink alcohol.. 
Not that i've ever been a party animal though... But when I party I do it gggggoooooooooooddddddddddd........ LOL | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 10:25:54 AM | | I don't go out as much. That is for sure. But I do get that Peter Pan complex quite often when out at a club. Especially on the dance floor. I always feel like the odd one when hanging around people my age but have more fun when clubbing for sure.I usually feel more comfortable talking and relating to older people when just hanging around or at the pubs. | |

I just need to point out that peeing in a hotel lobby isn't funny regardless of what age you are!!
And, I never partied like that...never will.
I do like to party like I did when I was 21. But, it's harder to find people who want to/can do it with you. All my friends have family and kids.
Come to think of it, even my young friends don't want to party like I used to!
I'd still do it if I had the opportunity...just not every night. The dark circles/bags I get when I'm tired get worse with age. And, although I've learned all the hangover secrets, those bags never lie! | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 6:07:43 AM | When I look back on my twenties it is with laughter & a bit of wincing at the memories! Geez, the things I used to get upto, the gigs I was into, the next to nothing new romantic goth/rock chick get up. We live & we learn!
It's like the twenties are your experimentative years,exploring, trying things out for size, fun & excitement seemed imperative to our exsistence back then. I had an enormous 'party girl' stigma attached to me, which still now, in my thirties, is pretty hard to shake off. I am a source of hilarious reminiscence amongst my,now married, friends. The embarrassment now, when friends recall at dinner parties such things as "Do you remember when you had that head banging competition with that guy in Rock City? God, she beat the guy, but they had to call the paramedics coz he got whiplash!". Yeah, good memories, but could I do it now? No way. When I go out with work colleagues now, on our 'monthly' night out, it is hit & miss...I'll either be full of energy & dance all night, or I'll feel sleepy and want my bed more than the airless,sweaty, cheesy club we'll end up in. I find that, although I like to drink socially, I'll do anything to avoid the nastiness of the dreaded hangover.
My thirties self, doesn't find the need to party hard. Been there, done that. I find greater pleasures in quiet dinners with friends, good company, mellow chat, vegging out on the sofa in front of a few good films, spending quality time with those people that are important to you rather than being out expending your alter ego on complete strangers. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 1:51:10 PM | Hahaha, you guys are only puppies compared to me lol. I'm 43, have young adult children but still can party as good as I was when 20. No! I'm not showing off!!! I just like hanging out with my friends and we like having good times together. We have drifted off the nightclub scene but that hasn't stopped us getting together and drinking at home instead. Why go somewhere when you have to find a way home afterwards? instead, stay at friends and catch a Taxi later or sleep over. You can sleep over in a bar, but be prepared to have your sorry ass kicked to the curb!!!
Guess if you're feeling old after getting married, having kids and you feel things just aren't how they used to be, then hey, nothing wrong with that either. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 2:35:45 PM | Not if turning 30 means: you've been there, did that and got the T-shirt.
But if turning 30 is just a number to you, then no.
Course, that's not what other people think.
OK, now for the low-down:
Started going out a lot, since I turned 37, and since I love to dance, I go to nightclubs.
Some people seem to be surprised.
But I'm not a show-off.
They find it even more surprising that I can dance.
They also find it surprising that I get hit on.
Don't know if I look ridiculous and I don't care, as long as everyone treats me with respect.
I approach younger women in the clubs I hang out in and a lot brush me off.
But out in the street, women seem happy to talk to me. In fact, the younger ones seem to like talking to me there.
I know I look about my age, but the way I look at it is: with me, what you see is only a little of what you get, because there is so much more to me.
Get to know me properly. Be my friend. Then reject me as a guy to party with, or date.
But if they are my age or older and they are in a pub and I talk to them, they seem to assume I will have sex with them, not a conversation.
The young women who are going out to meet men in clubs seem to be only into the younger men. They say they want a relationship, but the guys their age say they don't.
I meet women in the street.
The ones my age aren't too bothered. The younger ones who I talk to and seem sweet, are keen to flirt with me. The hot ones aren't too bothered.
But recently I've realised that the hot ones and the sweet ones are just as attractive. Just the hot ones are on display.
So I'm thinking that the hot ones are really just women who think that looks and sex are the way to a man's heart, and also seem only interested in the young men.
The sweet ones seem to think that relationships involve the heart first. They seem to not make an issue of the age difference.
But I am a sweet guy.
I know a 47-year old, who is hot. He's still partying. He meets women all the time. But he goes to meet women in more cosmopolitan areas.
Where I am is quite conventional.
So I think it is more where you party and who you are and not what the age of the people you party with.
Some places and some people really like you.
Some don't.
Find people who get on with you and it shouldn't matter. | |

Posted: 5/8/2007 4:31:06 PM | I work in a bar-so i like to get crazy every once in awhile. It is stupid when you begin risking your job and your health. If you like to go out and get f'd up every once in awhile and you get home responsibly and don't act like an ass-i say do whatever you want. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 7:00:41 AM | I don't know...when I see someone partying like there's no tomorrow and they are over 30...I just think, 'Do you honestly have nothing better to do?'
It just seems so boring. Drink, get drunk, have drunken conversations, have the nightly hook-up, fall asleep and spend the whole next day hungover. It's kind of fun when you're 18, but it gets OLD.
No, I don't think it's very dignified. I think it gives off the message that you're a possible alcoholic without a great deal of ambition or interest in other things.
I think it's a GOOD sign that you're losing interest in the scene! | |

I agree. I don't know anyone in my age bracket that parties EVERY night. And, really, how much fun could it possibly be after the 2nd or 3rd night, let alone 5-7 nights!! | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 12:43:59 PM | Well i haven`t hung up my dancing shoes yet!
i still go out once in awhile and let my hair down! lifes too short to be stuck in and watch it pass you by! i will still be doing it until i believe its time to stop, thats long way off though!
I don`t need to do it all the time, but it is refreshing once in awhile to get down town and boogie!
hangovers seem to last longer though i think , definately!!lol!!  | |
