Why do men feel compelled to remind you that you are a mortal?

I have had a few occasions when I just said “I am happy” or when I described something about my life and some men jump in to say “10 years later, you won’t be same.”

So what?

Do I go around and keep telling men, they’ll be older 10 years later?

Aren’t we supposed to get older?

What kind of bitterness is it to “threaten” a woman with the prospect of getting old?

If I happen to be alive 10 years later, I’ll be lucky, there are many people who die much earlier.

Why do some men need the necessity to remind women they’ll get old?

Do women do that? No!

So, what does it serve? Your moms, sisters, wives, girlfriends, daughters - every female will be 10 years older 10 years later, what’s the purpose of reminding me that?

People are getting old and new people are getting born, I know that. So what?

Dob’t I have a right to be happy while I can be?

“Only the dead stay 17 forever.”

Most men who say this are the type of men who’d have zero chance of conversing with me in real life.
