I've often wondered...

Does a woman, in her 30's or older, seem desperate when she is at a popular nightclub that is really geared towards people in their 20's?

I enjoy getting together for the occasional girls night out with my girlfriends. Most of my girlfriends are my age (34) or older. I do have some friends in their 20's and they really enjoy the clubs. Sometimes we humor them and go, but man, I feel really old when I am there.

The atmosphere that I enjoy the most, if i'm out with just the girls, is the sports bar and grill. More like a pub. Someplace you can have good food, enjoy drinks and music but at an audible level.

I am asking because I was out one night, at the club with the girls, and a younger man came up and made conversation. I was, to say the least, very flattered. He pursued, I denied, he pursued some more, I denied some more(which made me realize he was so young, because i was starting to feel like a mom telling her child NO for the upteenth time). Finally, he realized no means no. After the humilation of having his feelings hurt by an "old woman", he let me know that " I was just a desperate middle aged woman at a club hoping like hell someone would take me home." So.....

I laughed it off, becau se come on, he was just a young kid who got rejected. Like any arrogant man who has been rejected, young or old, they tend to lash out.

He had no bearing on my self-esteem which i assure you is still intact. *hey everyone has their preference, right?*

I would just like an opinion (male or female) on the "older woman" and nightclubbing.



btw...34 is not old!!!

I went out to clubs into my 30's because I enjoyed it. I didnt go because I was desperate, but if I did happen to hook up well thats just a plus.

In my 20's I worked in a club and saw women 20-60 out having a good time.
No 34 is not old and yes i think this jerks ego was bruised so he lashed out at you. Did this jerk think the men your age were also there because they were desperate?

Never yet have had a problem - never been called an old hag at a club. Of course, I don't look like I'm in my 30's either. Women 30's+ do not look desperate at a club, face it - the guy was hitting on you and you bruised his ego. He only said something to you to bruise yours. Smart guy, it worked, didn't it - or this would be a non-issue.

No. I think its perfectly all right! Now if you were MARRIED and going to a nightclub (any age), I would think that there was something wrong!

Nah, he didn't bruise my ego. I've often thought the same thing when I have seen women out. Maybe it's the way a woman carries herself. There are alot of women, young and old, who look desperate in a nightclub. I was just asking an opinion on what other people thought about it.

I would not say it's considered "desperate" - do you mean to say the women who come across as an attention-wxhxoxrxe or attention starved? If not, how do you mean desperate? Like they are only there to hopefully get laid?

Yeah, maybe what I mean is attention-wxhxoxrxe or attention starved. I mean some women try soooooooo hard. I feel embarrased for them....

Women in the 30+s in the club don't look desperate. What, does life end at 20?

I'm a guy, 48, and I go to clubs from time to time.

The young girls are very hot, but they are really young, and when you talk to them it shows.

What I prefer to do is to go to a happy hour with friends or co-workers. That way I someone I know to hang with and can just sit back and enjoy the "festivities".

Well, sweetie, are you asking because you REALLY want to know the answer, or are you asking because you're looking for people who will agree with you?

The answer to my question above will determine how you will respond to some of our answers to your ORIGINAL questions. Like people say, don't ask a question unless you're prepared to get the answers.
