Per some stats over at "sightingsat60.blogspot, might get the red-pills to smirking -

they do alot of that.  But anyway, am positive such is NOT the blogger's (Tom's) intent.  Here goes: according to the article, less than half of women - 65 and over - are married, while over 2/3rds of men of that age bracket are married.  So, red-pills being the scoffers they are, are likely keying their typically gleefOOl statements - such as, legions of women are being left lonely, mwa-hahaha.

Surely the article has made its way to sites visited by younger people.  That said, here's the rest of it - and most likely, red-pills being red-pills, won't trouble themselves to give attention to the very next statement.  And forget about doing any simple math.  Mkay, here goes:  per the article, of that age bracket, almost 1/3 of the women are widows, while just over 1/10 of the men are widowers.

So basically, either married or widowed men - aged 65 and over - comes to just over 4/5.  Per the women, the total of wives and widows comes to just over 3/4ths.   So, that means a bit over 1/5th of the men are single, and a bit over 1/4th of the women are single.

Yeah, there is a difference.  Men tend to remarry - and men have the option to choose from, sadly, a number of desperate women, who will submit to a prenup (which essentially says:   i ain't providin' fer you, biche!)  And yet, i cannot help but to suspect that there are more than a few widows out there, who loved and cared for their ailing husbands, and then - after all the bawling and squawing - discover what a blessing indeed it is to live alone, and wanting to keep it that way.  

When a woman's husband passes into eternity, what's a widow to do?  Shake her fist at the Lord, demanding (with a few expletives for affect) that He return her husband?  Yeah lady, good luck with that.
