I’ve worked with this guy for a few months. He’s 25 and I’m 35. I know he has 3 big sisters but no girlfriend as far as I’m aware which I’m guessing will help set the scene slightly. Tbh I find him a bit odd, his sense of humour is a bit random, i don’t totally get it. He’s also about 5ft 4, not that I care about that but I but I have a feeling he’s got a chip on his shoulder.
So this is what happened, my other colleague can in the room and said she was hot, obviously it’s not a hot day today so he asked her why and she said “oh you don’t wanna know, perimenopause or something like that”, I joked and said “ahh il look forward to that” and that was the end of it.
Then 5 mins later, he said to me, other colleague had gone at this point “you know there’s a ‘pre-perimenopause that affects 35 plus’” and read out the symptoms from his screen, so he’d been googling it, he also knows I’m 35 because we had this chat at one point,
So I said “are you trying to find something that affects my age or something?” He laughed and said “just trying to offer advice” and I replied “not sure I need that off a 25 year old male”
So it’s pissed me off and made me feel a bit uncomfortable. My hunch is this guy has grown up with 3 big sisters, maybe been teased, he’s a short arse and he’s making it clear he feels a bit weird around women.
What do you make of it?
