I have a date Saturday night and the best sign is that she likes music and concerts. MAJOR plus with me.

If she's a non-drinker, it's not a deal-breaker, but she can't be a teetotaling wet blanket, either.

I actually observed a variation of that among my friends (male). They're somewhat more outgoing than their SO's, which was great back when they were single. However, today, they usually capitulate to their SO's' wishes when it comes to weekend entertainment. Which now usually consists of a quiet dinner with other couples or an evening at home. Guys' hangouts, even going to the gym together to weightlift, let alone things like hitting up a Latin dance club as a group, have come to an end long time ago. Needless to say, it's deterring me from ever entering a relationship.
I am not opposed to beer either. Thursday nights are my beer nights. Saturday nights are my mixed drink nights...every other day is mostly wine.

Yes the activities change with age. The last place I want to go is a dance club.

You're thinking of mainstream clubs, with played-out top 40 music and grinding on the dance floor. The salsa clubs I go to are classier than that, and the crowd can be as old as 50. Not to mention they're way friendlier; it's easy to get someone to dance with you there, regardless of your "game" level. The only problem is that it's taboo for a man to come there by himself, and my friends pretty much stopped going out altogether.

Yeah not appealing either... Give me a winery with a musician playing, sitting outside, sipping a drink. Or the country bar in the middle of nowhere watching a game on the tv, and chatting with random strangers.
