[quote=Anonymous]Not sure of your question's impetus but there are several answers. First of all, at upper ages there are many more available women than there are men. It is also more acceptable and quite typical for men to marry women who are younger than they are rather than women in their direct age group. For younger widows, they are often too busy raising children alone to have much time for serious dating. Their children become their sole priority (rightly so) and they are protective of anyone stepping over their threshold. Thus you will find more widows who do not remarry. As for widowers who do, I think it is common belief that many men simply do not do well alone. Especially if they've had a spouse for many years/decades. Therefore, they may go through a socially acceptable grieving period and will then find a woman who will fill the role as companion and caregiver. [/quote]
