It made me laugh when the man asked about her period, because to anyone who menstruates it's a well-known fact that if you stop eating enough or start taking too much medication you stop getting your period. props to him for asking it though

Actually, the menstruation question was quite plausible. That's one of the first things i thought about. It did talk about her having enough money to take care of all of her expenses and has rental property, so im sure she wasn't super young. However, it didn't go into detail about her age.
