> [@Helena330](#): > > **Drop** , this is the best you’ve sounded (so to speak) since this whole sad business with your wife started. Go for it. What a hoot. Trying to shag a 45 old skirt at 63? So much for enlightening/spiritual relationships which encompassed the past. Here’s the future you are pursuing **Drop**. After an endless parade of rejections, you’re gonna spend your final days sulking in a cave, naked and alone, masturbating to Hobbit porn. If you are trying to shag a 45 old skirt at 63, get ready to be taken for a ride, pal. You’re her rent check. (And here you thought it was your muscular build). I got a laundry list of acquaintances who skated down that road and none came out the better. I have a longer list of the grrrrls who took 'em for a ride. If your “plan” is to have something endearing **Drop** , I pity you. Better to sell everything you own, buy a kayak and paddle to Tahiti. You just may find, if you’re lucky, what you’re looking for before you get there. And that’s usually how it happens. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-been-over-a-month-since-my-wife-died-too-soon-to-start-dating/791289)._
