I know lots....especially at our age. Among reasons:
men worry as they age their health deteriorates and they want someone to take care of them
gold diggers (the nurse with the purse concept)
having been there done that and don't want to do it again
we like living alone
can have cheese and crackers for dinner and no complaints
can use the remote control anytime we want
have great friends to socialize with
we are not lonely....it is far worse to be lonely while married

i'd love to help with the comedy
Bonnievie, I understand what you wrote. That is why I qualified my statement with "if she met the right man". What I wrote holds true based on my conversations with women I know very well and who are comfortable enough with me to share their actual deep feelings. I agree that it is far worse to be lonely while married. Been there, done that! I greatly prefer being single than being married to the wrong person.

Although I am quite happy with my single life today if I met the right lady I feel it could get better.

As we age (I am 74) it becomes increasingly difficult to find desirable mates from an ever shrinking pool of viable candidates, no question about it.
