My wife and I are both in our 60’s. If God forbid something happens to her and I’m plunked back into the dating world, hopefully if the ads are “Women seeking men” or “men seeking women” there’s at least that much truth. I would hope that I could tell the difference between a woman and a Transylvanian…or whatever they’re called before we get to the dick-check stage:eek:
