Rachel Bilson thinks it’s ‘weird’ if single, middle-aged men only had 4 sexual partners

Rachel Bilson thinks it’s “weird” if a single man in his 40s has only slept with four women.

Speaking on her podcast “Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson,” “The O.C.” actress, 42, shared her peculiar dating preferences and the red flags she looks out for when picking out a partner.

“This is gonna sound so judgmental, but if a dude is in his 40s and he [has] only slept with four women…,” she said on Monday’s episode, adding that she would find it “a little weird.”

The actress, who is no stranger to making sex confessions on her podcast, said that while she thinks having four sexual partners is “really low,” it’s not entirely “fair” of her to make that judgment.

Bilson said that it “all depends” on certain situations, as men who have had long-term relationships have a valid reason, in her opinion.

“Maybe he’s been in decade [long] relationships, totally respectable,” she shared. “But if he’s single in his 40s and it’s only four and he’s never been in the long term thanks that’s an issue.”

She also admitted that she used to ask her previous partners about their body count, but said she “probably wouldn’t” be doing that from here on out.

The conversation came up after she reflected on her dating history alongside co-host Olivia Allen and the podcast’s producer Rob Holysz.

“When people should be dating so much like let’s say in their 20s, I was in a relationship all my 20s,” she shared.

As for her current relationship status, Bilson most recently sparked dating rumors with artist Zac La Roc.

Prior to that, she was linked to “Saturday Night Live” alum Bill Hader.

Following her breakup from Hader, 45, Bilson quipped on a March 2022 episode of her podcast that she was going to miss the actor’s “big d–k.”

She and Christensen dated on and off from 2007 to 2017 and share daughter Briar Rose Christensen.

In addition, Bilson dated her “O.C.” co-star Adam Brody from 2003 to 2006.
