    And that distant sound everyone on the planet can hear right now? That’s the sound of Taylor Swift wretching at the thought of having a middle-aged, socially awkward, goofy-looking weirdo express his public interest in impregnating her.

      I thought he meant he’d give her one of his many children he neglects… Oops.

      In my defense, it’s really old timey to use “give a child” as a euphemism for pregnancy 😂

        It’s generally considered between 40 and 60.

        You can argue that 60 isn’t really the statistical middle for most humans. It’s closer to the 3/4 mark. That said, when people say middle age, they usually mean the aforementioned years.

          I was thinking of middle aged as just 40s. But brittanica agrees with you, so guess I’ve been using the term wrong.
