Potential date blew it

[Anonymous]

I (52) met a man (67) at a group activity involving a shared interest a month ago. We talked on the phone a few times and set up a date for next week. We were talking on the phone a few days ago and he asked me, "Are you menopausal?" We were just talking about general things when he asked that. I told him that was a personal question. I didn't tell him, but I still have regular cycles. I texted him the next day and informed him I was cancelling the date and I wish him well. He replied, "Got it." No question here, just wondering how others would respond.

Yeah, that wasn't cool of him to ask. Crass. If he wanted to know if birth control would need to be utilized during sex, he should have waited until you were about to have sex and used condoms anyway for STD purposes.

Respond to him now? Or responded to his original question?

Former nothing. Latter, I would have asked why do you want to know?

He's almost 70

He's in the wrong time of life for you

According to dcum, women over 50 would be lucky to get a 70yo.

Sure date a 70yo, but this guy sounds even older.

I think at your age it’s strange not to be honest and also strange to ditch a guy over 1 question.

He is 67

That's a strange question. I'm not sure if I'd ditch over it.

Guys are so weird.
I would have done the same OP.

He’s 67. If he hasn’t learned by now that he needs better social graces, he’s in rough shape.

Because the question was peppered into general conversation, I couldn't tell why he wanted to know that. I responded quickly. Later, I figured it was because he was appraising me for sex. Either wondering if I could get pregnant, had a libido or am I dried up. He killed any interest I had in him. The date was meant to get to know each other. The question was inappropriate.

It's not his concern. We hadn't even had one date. I have other options, including not dating.

[Anonymous]

Socially clueless, I would have lost interest then too. But I probably would have asked why he was asking out of curiosity
