Some guy, claiming to be in his seventies, wrote Dear Abby not knowing if he should disclose to prospective dates that he is no longer able to perform...er...sexually. He asked if women were willing to settle for cuddling, kisses and affection, etc. He also said he had "
"buried two brides".
Well, in the comments section I said that doesn't sound like any 70 year old men that I know and how creepy I thought the bride word was.
I got really lambasted with posters saying how sweet it is when older married men used this term. UGH! Did I say thank you, CFrance? Thank you.
