I remember being 18 years old and seeing 30+ people strutting their stuff on the dance floor and thinking what the bloody hell do they think they look like. Now that I'm part of that 30+ group I don't give a damn what the 18 year olds think because I'm not in the club to impress anyone I'm just their to let off some steam and have a giggle with friends - so sod the youngsters as they will be 30+ before they know it but they will still feel 18 like we do and just go to any club that takes your fancy and have a bloody good time!

psh....good luck. I'm in your age bracket, tried to do that too, and didn't find any luck. Most of the age groups ranged from 21-25, even at the clubs that said the range was 28-39.

Here's an answer you might not like......you are 37 and old. Learn to deal with it and stop fantasizing about being young as if you were still 20 years old. You have responsibilites now. You are not supposed to have fun 24-7. Grow up and assume your role in society and stop thinking you can fly away to your Neverland dance/disco to save you from the fact that the immemorial age of 40 is only two or three years away.

And no, there's no place for old people to dance the night away while being under the impression they are still young and carefree. Nobody who is truly young, ages 16 through 23 wants to associated with someone over their own age unless they are related to them or wants to use them for their own gains.

Find a new hobby or activity to deal with your longing to get active. There's sports, social clubs, and what-have-you. Yes, look into doing things that "old people" do because you are one of them now. And yes, I'm judgemental and so is the rest of society, yet they may hesitate to speak such thoughts that they espouse on this subject.
