Sounds like he likes his lake house, however neither of his daughters lives close by. One lives in MI, and the other lives in IL or Iowa. They might be within driving distance, but not exactly around the corner. Theresa is the one who sees her daughter and grandkids daily. It's the bigger sacrifice for her to move. But something tells me he's not the type to.

He lives in Indiana now, but only for about four years. He and his wife had only just moved from Iowa when she died.


One thing I’m not clear on is whether Gerry is willing to move, even if it’s just to get that third house with a new partner. Not necessarily all the way out to Oregon to be near Faith’s dead horse, but maybe somewhere closer to Leslie (who won’t move from Minneapolis) or Theresa (we don’t know whether Theresa is willing to move from NJ).



It makes sense for them to have a house they select and furnish together (Theresa's words), close to a major airport. They live together there and make regular trips to see the kids and grandkids, sometimes together and sometimes independently. But it also wouldn't surprise me if the relationship fizzles out before they pull the trigger.



Since the reluctance to move is about not leaving their communities of friends and family, it would make even more sense for them to contribute to the furnishings of each other's current houses and go back and forth. Maybe 4-6 weeks at a time at each. Seems overly complicated to add in a third house and start over. My guess is that they're not very far into these discussions. Since his holiday plans seem fixed with his own family, I question whether this really is a serious discussion at this point.

Not sure about starting to date again. I’ve rarely come across a Gerry-like “gentleman” (tho that’s debatable now), just overweight icky men looking for servicing! 🤣


Same! Have you heard the phrase "a nurse and a purse"? I've dated a 60-something man who lived in his sister's basement (that was one date), a horndog who might have still been married, and other guys who were single for a reason.




It's TOUGH out there for an UMC woman in her 50's+ looking for a man who takes care of himself, takes care of his living environment, has a steady job, and is willing/able to be in a committed relationship.

Drunk ok
Tipsy ok
Not nice and totally out of line to say
Was just crude for nothing
But Leslie comes off that way
that was my point ,unnecessary She’s a beautiful girl she’s got a lot going for her. Why does she have to demean her self like that it’s very sad, but you’re very kind to give her a pass.
I am in 70’s and pretty cool
but come on Leslie
That was abhorrent when I was in high school that expression


Please, for the love of god -- let go your death grip on the enter key.


Why should she type so as to please you?

Sounds like she is not the person who is wound too tight!


Meow! Sound of cats fighting.


1) You don’t know posters’ genders

2) It is sexist to use that analogy (especially since men are much more aggressive than women—which is science, not sexism).

Can you imagine what this thread will stoop to by the time the finale airs in two weeks! 😂

Goes to show there is an audience for boomer content. Network executives:take note.


The executives apparently have duly noted the interest and are starting the casting search for the next golden bachelor.


Not a golden bachelorette?

I mean, yes, women tend to be better preserved than men at that age, also they live longer. But surely they could round up a dozen viable 60-something men? Or is that unrealistic?


Especially if Leslie, I think even 50somethings could work. I don’t think it would be that hard.

Did anyone pick up on a hint of disappointment on Leslie’s face the next morning? Like she wasn’t 100 percent happy with her encounter.


100%


+200. I got the impression they talked about real issues and didn’t find they were completely compatible, so she suspects she’s going home.


I bet Theresa clinched it when she told him she's Republican, men eat that up.


She's a Republican? How did I miss that?



She's not. She's a registered Democrat. People are making all kinds of crazy assumptions about her that are not true.



I read on the subreddit that she's Dem, but voter records.com has her as unaffiliated.


Are you really researching this woman? This is weird and desperate itself.
