Oh, please.

I'm 47 and my own social circle includes people in their 20's all the way up to senior age. My closest friend will be turning 81 this Sunday. Absolutely nothing "weird" about it. Interacting with a large age spread and the life experiences that come with such a diverse group of people makes EVERYBODY more well-rounded individuals.

Nope, my response would be the same. I'm personally at the point in my life where. I'm 47, this is who I am, this is what I do, and if you're a guy and interested, 1st thing you need to do is get used to the fact that I'm not changing any of my ish for you.

During non-COVID times I am a member of a huge contra dance circle, which means I'm paired up with numerous male dance partners, some of whom I've known for 15-20+ years. Any guy who wants to go out with me better get used to the fact that I'm not giving that world up, and if he has a jealous or possessive bone in his body, well, that's not going to fly, either.

Matter of fact, I've seen a number of guys I dance with give up the dancing scene when they get into a relationship with a woman who isn't into it. A couple of them have never come back.

Some women love going out dancing with their girlfriends on girl’s nights out. While it’s not something I enjoy, I don’t think it’s weird.

Yep, exactly. Women will go out dancing just to go out dancing. They're not looking for men at all. Men tend to go to a nightclub, specifically, to try to hook up.

She hit the big 30, and had a mini-midlife crisis. As a result she wants to grab onto her fleeting youth.

I get it. I am in my 60s.

Just wait, soon she will hear the sound of her biological clock running out. Then her subconscious will drive her to have a baby.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - age is ONLY a number.

If you feel young, you ARE young. If you feel old, well... you know the rest.

I know where I'm at and I'm good with it - and I don't give a single solitary damn what is printed on my birth certificate.

Basically the OP is worried about a woman behaving like a man.

So out of touch, both of you. Goodness.

Many/most women going to clubs are there for the same reason as the men.

And the OP should be worried. His girlfriend is likely shopping for someone else.
