Question: Help...am I too old to party?

I am going to be 40 this summer. I have been dancing since the days of Industry.
I love trance/dancing. I have younger friends and I consider us a pretty cool group who have fun but don't make spectacles of our selves.I stick to myself and I am there for the tunes. I am in pretty good shape but i am balding, and age is starting to show but i have always been told I look younger than i am.
My fear is that I don't want to be "that old guy in the club".
When is it time it to walk away? When will you walk away?
Thanks

I entered semi-retirement at 29... but that has more to do with other priorities rather then being too old. My advice... who give a rats ass if someone refers to you as "the old dude"... as long as you're having fun.

if balding is what you're afraid of then don't be. i started losing my hair when i turned 20. wear a hat or shave your head. as for what age you should stop partying at, i honestly don't know but if you feel that you need to stop then you probably should.

What does your mom say?

Seriously, who cares what others think? As long as you're having fun and aren't causing trouble, it's all good!

I fully plan on being that old guy in the club. Not the creepy one or anything lol but I love music, and the scene way too much to ever quit for good.

exactly.
if you still enjoy going out and dancing and listening to music that you enjoy, dont let your age or what others think stop you. stop when you want to stop.

You're only as old as you feel.

I think you only get "too old" when "grown up" priorities get pushed aside because you're partying.

I have a few close friends I party with that are all over 40 and honestly their age means nothing to me at all. it's just a number.

I wish the courts would see it that way too.

I agree with all of the sentiments here. Enjoy yourself for as long as you want to.

If you truly love the music, then age is irrelevant.

Some may say that older people in clubs are creepy. I've seen creepy people of all ages in clubs. Being significantly older than most of those in attendance isn't at all an issue, if you are contributing to the overall vibe.

When you are g'd out and hitting on the 19 year olds - that's another story.

I usually feel like that old guy in the club but I just don't care. I'm not 40 yet, only 36 but I'll probably still be doing this at 40 and beyond. I only started 6 months ago so I'm allowed. I'm there for the music and dancing, and to hang with my friends. If you're trying to pick up young women there might be a problem being the old guy but otherwise I don't see why it matters. There is this kid at CZ who calls me dad though.

Which �old guy� are you talking about ?

Posted by Sasha on Jan-30-2007 23:52:

yup

Posted by exstasie on Jan-30-2007 23:54:

as long as it doesn't fuck up your life ie. job/kids/family...then its all good.

If anyone has met Sketchy Will.. No one looks older or sketchier than him in his tellitubby hat LOLOL

Posted by shanny on Jan-31-2007 02:26:

I'm out of the game when I turn 24.

I mean, I've got things to do, can't keep partying all the time and risk messing stuff up.

Posted by techead on Jan-31-2007 02:35:

although its mostly for work these days , i still occasionaly got out to parties whre I am not doing tech work and i am 46 !!

I tend to take it easier these days , no drugs , except occasional bit of weed , less booze , and no dancing till my heart wants to explode

Posted by Cuzo on Jan-31-2007 02:43:

I quit tomorrow.

Ya, I agree with the other guy. Scope it out, see what your skull looks like. I haven't been faced with that yet but it crossed my mind when I realize that's what guys are doing these days. Guys of all ages shave it off and when you look back over the ages and the crazy ways men dealt with it, pff. Seems perfect to me. Like a new beginning. Even leaving a 1/4 inch looks good on some.

If your going for the music then that's what it's about. If your not going because of you or some other unknown, then it isn't about the music. Besides, all of the younger kickers and free stylers I've come across, think it's cool hang'n out with a Vet offering up pearls of wisdom, such as yourself.

Will is part of the entertainment, it wouldn't be the same without him around.

Posted by evil_cookie on Jan-31-2007 05:34:

it all depends on how you look at it, some people take it more seriously then others.

for me personally, it's just a phase...i don't plan on partying as i do now after the age of 23-24.

there is a lot more to life that i look forward to.

Posted by Silky Johnson on Jan-31-2007 05:37:

I don't really think you should be asking anyone but YOURSELF what's right for you. If it feels good and right to you, do it...fuck everyone else.

Posted by Misanthrope on Jan-31-2007 06:02:

being 40 years old and having insecurities is a total turn off.
