A stink bomb is a fart.

In his twenties? I’ll pass on that.

Op: you are entitled to a preference
- for who you are around
- for who is around your kids
Maybe you need to become the adult you'd like to be, have an opinion about these things. And live your life that way.

This is causing you to no longer being attracted to him? Definitely time to stop seeing him, your senses of humor are not aligned.

Like I said, I know this is dumb but I’m seriously turned off and feel myself unattracted to him now. I replied to his message asking why would he tell me that and saying it’s a serious turn off.
I feel like I don’t even want to see him anymore. Maybe these are my true feelings coming out? I feel bad as he’s a nice person and has been very nice to me but if I’m dating someone I need to feel attracted to him.
(Context: I am middle aged and divorced and have been seeing this guy for a few weeks.)
Flatulence is natural for anyone with a gastrointestinal system, it happens, may stink, no big deal. However, a middle age joking about it is not natural, mature or attractive. Just because you are middle age and a divorced mom, doesn't mean you can't have standards, you are enough by yourself and don't need to make such compromises.

And I think he sounds immature.
To each their own taste.

Are you one of those people that only farts in the bathroom?

Are you actually attracted to him, outside of this? Maybe see him once more to see if your reaction went away, but otherwise, be done. Don’t invest time in something you don’t want.

Such a good point PP. I’m not used to honoring my instincts (OP here).
