    I must say, if you showed up to a date like this I’d hope for a second date. If nothing else it will be quite interesting to see how you top that outfit.

    I’m not too sure there were many middle aged women dressed in mail armor Might be the right response if he was into middle aged men.

      It wasn’t many men either. Plate armor was incredibly expensive (it had to be custom made so the joins fit you correctly) and only the wealthiest nobles had it. There weren’t entire armies of knights in armor, that’s just fantasy.

        “Plate armor” in the sense of the ornate full-body panoply was restricted to the wealthy, but plate armor in the sense of armor literally made of plates was common for professional footsoldiers of the Renaissance.

        Not only that, but a significant proportion of medieval armies often were knights and their financially-supported retinues precisely because it was knights who, under feudal systems, were the ones expected to go to war - at Agincourt in 1415 AD, for example, a majority or near-majority of the French army would have been fully armored cavalrymen.
