A 60-year-old party lover has revealed that she’s had to quit clubbing due to the overwhelming amount of male attention she receives.
Elizabeth Young, a regular on the dance floor known for her karaoke performances and late-night dancing, has been conspicuously absent since 2 January 2026, intentionally steering clear of “male attention.” She recalls that during her last night out, eight different men asked her out, an experience she “hates” and now actively avoids.
This isn’t the first time Elizabeth has had to retreat from the dance floor, often finding herself laying low until the men lose interest. The South Croydon resident attributes her youthful appearance and slim 7st 1lbs figure to two factors: daily gym sessions and weekly clubbing.
Elizabeth said: “I am hiding out from all the male attention. On my last weekend out, I had 11 men approach me asking for a date – all of them younger men. I don’t enjoy men being in my face, telling me I look fit, asking me out on dates.
“I don’t want any of that; it weighs me down. I just want to go out and have fun. I haven’t been clubbing or done karaoke since 2 January 2026. I am staying indoors to avoid the male attention.”
Elizabeth, who claims she could easily pass for someone two decades younger, credits her youthful looks to her daily workout routine. She hits the gym before sunrise seven days a week and used to run three times a day.
She revealed: “I would make sure I do three runs a day. It is to make sure your engine is still working, it is about looking good and making sure you’re good inside and out.
“I have no aches and pains. I spend all week running, and I have no pain. I go to the gym seven days a week, where I will work out in the pool. Even if I get home from clubbing at 4am I will be in the gym at 8am on a weekend.”
Elizabeth stated that she doesn’t believe in the ageing process and asserts that ageing is a choice.
Since the 1980s, Elizabeth has been hitting the clubs solo, and before her boycott, she could be found belting out karaoke tunes at least once a week.
“I have been going clubbing on my own since the 1980’s,” Elizabeth said. “All my friends were starting to settle down, and I decided I needed to go out on my own, and I have continued to do so. Society tells us that when we’re a certain age we’re not allowed to do this and that.
“I dress how I want, as long as it suits me, and I will do what I want as long as I can do it. I don’t ask for permission to live my life, I just live it. “Elizabeth mentioned that women often say that they become invisible when they reach 50.
However, she insists that this is the most visible she has ever felt, and will often “dress down” to avoid attention. Elizabeth declared: “I am not invisible. All I want to do is go out dancing and go home.
“I am very visible, to the point where I am out and about, I am dressing down as I don’t want to be seen. I am not one for attention.
“I love singing, I love music, and going dancing, but I am not doing it for male attention.
Elizabeth is staying away from the dance floor to dodge unwanted attention, which she says comes mainly from younger blokes. She revealed men constantly quiz her about her age and ask to take her out on dates. Elizabeth says she simply responds with “I am old enough to be your grandmother” and carries on dancing.”
I don’t age, I just live,” Elizabeth said. “For me, it is not about looking young and thin – it is about being functional. I have teenagers who will tell me they don’t see my age, they just see Liz.”
