I'm not at all surprised the article resonated. None of us are getting any younger and as the population ages, there are bound to be more and more older adults seeking companionship.
I'm sort of of the mind right now that if anything happens to my hubby, I'll just be done with men. I pray I never have to find out, but if I'm worng, my ad will be something like this:
"88, Widowed, multi-racial woman seeking intelligent, mature gentleman for companionship. Must be well-read, love dogs, and be open minded. I enjoy travelling, quiet evenings at home, sleeping late and rousing games of Trivial Pursuit. Not a hard body, but I guarantee it's harder than your's." LOL
