Are You The Old Chick At The Club?

As women we all fear the day that we become the old chick at the club. We swear that it isn’t coming but one day soon it will be here. The problem is, how do you know when you’re too old to be amongst the 21+?

I think that the act of being in the club does not have a limit on age. Birthday celebrations (for example) often lead to the club and who am I to tell a 35 year old that they shouldn’t be there. I do believe that the acts while you’re inside of the club DO have an age limit and that is what should deter certain individuals from coming to the club after a certain time in their life. Here is my Do’s and Do Not’s for the more “mature” party goer..

1) Remember that you have responsibilities at home: If you hitting the club takes away from your children, job or bill money then you don’t need to go. It doesn’t matter how old you are, take care of your responsibilities first. It’s expected for an 18 year old to make those dumb mistakes but at a certain age you should know better.

2) Don’t become a regular: A person who’s at the same club 2 or 3 nights a week at any age begins to look pathetic. If you are going through a mid-life crisis and absolutely have to be out on the town every weekend, try finding a few different spots to hit up. 

3) Dress Appropriately: You are not 18 and should not dress like a Kardashian. Of course no one expects you to hit a night club in your turtleneck and dress pants but please leave the short dresses to the young tenderonis. 

4) Don’t Start Fights With The Youngsters: You may be amongst those who are much younger than you but that’s no reason to not act your age. Be the bigger woman and avoid starting fights with the younger crowd. A little bit of class will go a long way. 

5) Drink Responsibly: There is nothing worse than carrying someones momma or aunty out the club because they can’t hold their liquor. Again, after a certain age you should just know better. Regardless of what that age is, keep it classy. 

6) Dancing On Furniture Is Not For You: All that dancing on tables, getting buck wild, jumping on couches? Leave that for the kiddos! Just because you party amongst the youth doesn’t mean you have to act like you have no home training. Don’t embarrass your kids who will probably end up seeing your picture on hotghettomess.com or MediaTakeOut.

7) Remember You’re As Old As You Feel: so don’t go to the club and become that nagging old hag that complains. Remember you’re allowed to have a good time. Take yourself a young handsome man home (if he’s legal of course). Don’t become Debbie Downer just because you happen to have a little more “experience” than the rest of the party goers. If you’re doing your job right, most of the people around you can’t even tell you’re seasoned.
