[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men need marriage more than women do. Women do it so they can have kids. Men do it so someone will take care of them. When a husband dies, a woman usually takes her time to get remarried, if at all. When a woman dies, the man usually starts dating and remarries  quickly.[/quote]

Total bullshit. Single men "take care of themselves" just fine.

Men get married because they want sex and affection. Tragically this usually dries up after a few years when the woman gets bored and knows that now she's got him hooked, she doesn't have to provide sex and there's nothing he can do about it unless he wants to give her half his shit.

[b]The difference in remarriage rate is due to the difference in attractiveness. Older men remain attractive, so they can get remarried. Older women, not so much[/b].[/quote]

I don't agree with this.  I have seen plenty of older women re-marry.  I have also seen plenty of older women get into defacto/co-habiting relationships.  My 70 year old grandfather dated and lived with a 65 year old girlfriend once he was widowed.

The women that I have seen that are older and single, a lot of them have chosen not to date.  When asked they say they are happy and not interested in dating and by talking to them their lives are so full and busy I don't doubt what they are saying. I'm sure there are some lonely single older women but I haven't met any as of yet.[/quote]

I disagree. I live in an area with plenty of older single women who say they are happy and not interested in dating but who suddenly meet someone and wham, they are happier! Saying you are happy is a good "front" because who wants to portray themselves as being lonely and unhappy. [/quote]

I think that if you happen to meet someone while not actively looking, I can see being happy in a relationship.  The point is that women aren't looking for drama and so will not actively pursue a new relationship and can be happy because they have other things in life to keep them happy.  It's not a front.
