Early stages
At your advanced age (cranky) you should be happy
not having to deal with the associated BS
enjoy your time
if need be, go out & mingle
at your age that's about it
& a girlfriend vs a wife, are 2 completely different deals
anyone, who tells you otherwise is lying
no matter how long they've been together
why in the hell ? would you screw up a good thing ?
doing what you want, when you want, & answering to nobody
you don't need a woman to validate your existence
especially at 70+, they don't need you either
they may want something you have
you may want them to do the dishes or vacuum
not much else at 70+ unless you think you can get a younger lady
or drive you crazy after the newness wears off
Get your hair cut 1st, old-man
if you want a younger one,
I saw on TV an add viagra/blue pill & cialis/yellow pill is $20-$45 a pill,
you ain't no different than anyone else, there's a shelf life on the thing
Maybe, get a dog, if you need company,
loyal & lovable (not just a prairie dog, they are not the same)
they will be 110% loyal & love you unconditionally till death, you or them
if it's meant to be, it will be
