He got his answer in spades sounds like.

Were you acting odd and that's why he asked? Or was he hoping you might still have a child?

Are you always a misogynist or just when online?

Are you OP? If so, answer.
If not, perhaps MYOB.

Thanks for confirming the answer is yes.

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.

Definitely inappropriate. It’s like you asking him if he has erectile dysfunction.

I am 47. The last dates I had were 25, 28 and 36. All wanted more dates.

58 should be your limit.

He was so rude I can’t even believe it. You did the right thing. Date closer to your age or younger!

Unless you look like a super model if you are over 40 the men for you are 60+

Lol. Tell this 48 year old dating a 34 yo now.

We look the same age. I will never remarry. A year or two is perfect for me.

This awful troll is giving this line about 40+ women every thread! The simple statistical fact is that the average age gap for remarriages in 50+ age group is 4 years.
I am 47 and never dated anyone older than 58 (and that would be a stretch)

Sorry. Correction this crypt keeper….

He’s way too old for your still juicy self.

Menopause is highly disruptive medical event.

Grow up. It is okay to talk about your period.

At most go to 60.

Honestly he was probably lying about his age. Old men tend to.

That’s something for her to disclose, not for some rando that she’s not even been out with yet to ask.

Unless it’s clear you’re in the running for dating and intimacy it’s so off topic. And truly that’s a woman’s topic to bring up.

Unless it’s ok to ask if your balls are so saggy you have to lift them to sit down?

Yes you did the right thing OP.

That was a very personal question & he crossed the line by asking you that.

[Anonymous]

He did that to get out of the situation. It wasn't what he was looking for and he knew that would be his out.

This. Men, talking fit and healthy men, are always about 10-20 years younger looking for the same age than women.

That's nice, but women may not be looking for men 10-20 years older than them, especially at this stage of life. If my husband predeceases me, no way am I going to be a nurse and a purse for some dude I haven't known for a long time.

They are at about the same point in life biologically speaking.
Men are usually around 10-20 years behind women.

No.
67 is elderly. She is middle-aged. 52 to 67 is basically a generation. Yikes. BULLET DODGED OP. He did you a favor, now you won't waste your time.

I am looking for a relationship that will last. I have no interest in flings. My range is 48-65, but this man was charming. I'm glad I didn't waste too much time on him.

65? When you are 52? Girl, no. That's creeping into gross old man territory.
