Rachel Bilson Says It's 'Weird' If Middle-Aged Men Have Only Had 4 Partners
Rachel Bilson is cautious about, hypothetically, dating a middle-aged man who hasn’t had a higher number of sexual partners.
“This is gonna sound so judgemental, but if a dude is in his 40s and he [has] only slept with four women … but it all depends,” Bilson, 42, said on the Monday, October 3, episode of her “Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson” podcast. “Maybe he’s been in decade [long] relationships, totally respectable.”
Still, the actress noted that if a man’s number of sexual partners was “really low” when he hits his 40s, it would be a “little weird” — while also acknowledging it wasn’t “fair” of her to make that judgment.
Bilson further admitted that she used to ask her partners about how many people they had been intimate with in the past, but “probably wouldn’t” going forward.
