Getting a Man

Actually, this post will not give any explicit useful hints about finding a man, if that is what you are looking for; but it might give you some encouragement.  I just want to say that my last wife, whom I met in 1963 when I  had two children and she was 19, and who lived with me from 1964 till we were divorced in 1989, has never been short of a man for periods longer than a month or two.  She is not strikingly attractive to look at, though certainly not plain;  not particularly sexy in fact a little conservative in that field (her more kinky sister called her "my straight sister"), somewhat more than averagely intelligent, the daughter of a university art professor and the granddaughter of a Baron, has a good singing voice and some ability to sight-read a line of music; is sociable, a good housekeeper, an industrious worker, a loyal friend, absolutely trustworthy with money and a loving mother to her two children and two step-children.

I don't know her secret for attracting men, except that she immediately becomes interested in any man who seems attractive to her, and makes herself pleasant to him.  She doesn't play hard-to-get or other silly games.  She doesn't string men along  but is very open about her feelings.  She has nothing to hide.

Since she and I parted she has had one or two temporary liaisons, one permanent one with an older man who died and left her his very good house, another temporary  relationship and finally what looks like a permanent one as she tells me she is getting married to him in March this year, has sold her house and bought a bungalow near her fiance's house.  Things do fall into place in her life.  She is 69 this year.

So there is obviously no call for older single or widowed women to feel there's no chance of getting another man.
