“A high guy by having an university training and the full head of hair.” Whenever my buddy, an over-60 woman that is single decided she ended up being prepared to begin dating, those had been the only real three needs she had on her brand brand new man. The man didn’t should be appealing or rich, merely a good man with these minimal characteristics. Nonetheless, after coping with half a year of fix-ups, blind times and singles mixers, she (literally) lowered her criteria. Now she could be thrilled to gaze down during the head that is bald of man whom managed to get through grade college. Such is the sorry pool of qualified solitary men over the age of 60.
Sixty-two-year-old widows just like me, seeking Jewish widowers, face a particularly restricted populace of potentials. Nationally, you will find four times as much widows as widowers avove the age of 65. For Jews the instability is also even even even worse. Based on Ira Sheskin’s present Miami Jewish populace study, you will find nearly 5 times as numerous Jewish widows as widowers my age in my own area.
