Got a message from a woman on a dating site. Hadn't heard from her lately, hadn't been a connection anyway.
The message was a period ".". Could hardly see it. Her name and a period. It was obviously a mistake, but I answered.
"Nice of you to say so" or something like that. I've since deleted the messages.
She responded something like "just goes to show I don't know how to use this phone."
My response was "surprised a woman your age still has periods."
She didn't like that. Said the age was off on her profile and that wasn't funny.
I replied, "We were talking punctuation, were we not?"
Yes, I'm an unrepentant smart-ass, but did think it was worthy of a little bit of a chuckle. (Probably not for women)

I may have to hand in my feminist card over it but I thought it was a bit funny.

I think that he was rude, not funny. Chacun a son gout.
Never mention age trying to communicate or even joke with women, had you made the witty remark about the period using a different set up, you could have probably scored more points, but by basically saying "you are a menopausal old woman," I'd say you blew it.

Oh yeah. Even hinting at that is bad form. It was just that I couldn't resist the opportunity. Like the Ron White bit, "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability".
Clearly her sense of humor could use some pad-ding.

Old adage is fuck them if they can not take a joke!!
In this case it would be some sort of non sexual harassment!!!

I don't hold myself responsible for others that lack even a reasonable sense of humor. Someone with no sense of humor would be a dealbreaker for me.

You sound like a first class jerk and I hope she blocked you immediately, as I am about to do. No way I'd consider dating such a rude misogynist.

@ birdingnut I guess you should if that bothers you
I chuckled.
Life is short. People need to have a fucking sense of humor.
Then again, I laugh at some pretty inappropriate shit sometimes.
