Just inappropriate or form of Sexual Harassment?
If you and your male boss worked closely together and had a pretty decent relationship albeit newer (3 months) and he was sharing a personal story about a woman he dated 20+ years ago and said the following: " I was thinking with my little head and not my big head". Would you consider that just wildly inappropriate and ignore and move on or is that a bigger deal?

Just inappropriate.
Now you know how he talks. If it bothers you, you can always say, "TMI, dude. Didn't need to know that." and move on.
But definitely not sexual harrassment.

Inappropriate.
That said, if i were investigating a claim, I'd ask more about what the conversation was prior to that point, how you got to talking about past relationships, have you talked about personal relationships and items in the past, have you both shared or just him, how have you reacted in the past and at that moment to comments like that, etc.
Situations in which regular conversations which have more of a sexual or inappropriate nature may be contributing to a hostile workforce, but some of that has to do with who else says what, what you've said, how you've reacted, etc.
This exactly.
Let it go.
Curiosity question: How long have you been in the workforce?
I work with mostly guys (and have for most of my 14 year career;I'm in my mid-30's). For me, with the guys that I've worked with, that's a sign that you're viewed as 'one of the guys.' I'd take it as a sign that he feels comfortable talking to you (clearly about anything) and move on.
HOWEVER, if he's otherwise semi-weird or continues to make other weirdo-comments where you become uncomfortable, my answer would change.
sexual harassment if you are looking to stick it to someone
inappropriate if you thought it was TMI
