When I saw her photo on the cover of Parade last weekend I thought she looked pretty good and, yeah, I would date her (if I weren’t married). She’s 15 years older than me. Might turn out to be too much ego for me, though. > [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > No. I just can’t picture her ever really laughing. Even in unscripted things, interviews and such, she is just too composed. The only time the facade shows any cracks is when she looks like she’s going to get mad. Once I heard her on “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me” and she was hilarious. Very quick wit and having fun. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > Really? She had a channel on satellite radio for a long time and would do these “Ask Martha” shows I would listen to while commuting. She was also very witty, sarcastic, and even made jokes about sex and drinking frequently. Sure, she likes to raise chickens and shit, but she seems like a lot more relaxed than folks give her credit for. I haven’t seen (or heard) anything from her for years. Maybe she’s lightened up. ---

I’ve dated incredibly neurotic meticulous neat-freak/A-types and it worked out despite the fact that I’m a typically messy guy. So that aspect is no problem. She also seems to have a sense of humor (though rather dry and reserved), which is good. And she looks great for her age. So… yeah, I’d give it a shot. ---

Hell, I’d marry her, but only for money and convenience (and maybe sex; she seems pretty well-preserved for her age). Ordinarily, I’m not interested in women above 40. ---

I’ve never dated a woman, and am not about to start. Well, on the other hand . . . how rich is she? ---

Wasn’t she talking about Anthony Hopkins trying to woo her and she just mentally couldn’t get past his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter? That was really funny.

If I was single and she was in my orbit, sure, I’d date her. I’d love to see what she could do with my house. And something tells me she’d be as creative in bed as she is with her decor. ---

We need a poll. And yes, I would, as long as her make-up/tv ready department was on call at all times. ---

Heck no. There’s nothing about her personality that I find remotely attractive. ---

> [@pancakes3](#): > > She’s a “con [vict]” also Should have been done as: **Con:** She is one. I’d date her if my wife didn’t mind. I think she’d get an emergency call as soon as she saw me, I’m not even going to bother looking good for her, I’d never hit the bar anyway. But if she goes through with it, and wants to continue even though I expect her to pay the bill for dinner, well, why not? ---

Oh yeah. Imagine the dates. “Come on over, I’ll cook dinner.” I’m honestly not sure about sex with a 71 year old, but hey, I’ll eat like a king. ---

Nope. Way too much into herself. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-date-her/657236.md?page=1)
