Seniors Living Alone Should Marry Each Other!

Not a chance. I love my independence and have always taken care just me. This sounds like an idea for people who can't handle being alone or not very independent.
 

No thanks, my second marriage was a triumph of optimism over experience. I love living alone.

There are so many seniors, whose spouses have died, and now live totally alone. They really have only one solution: MARRY EACH OTHER.

Here they can message each other privately and then marry someone compatible with themselves. They would have to message each other and exchange addresses. Then they could email, write or phone each other. Then, use Instantcheckmate.com to obtain background checks. If they are satisfied, they could contact each other and use email or the telephone to make contact.

After that they would have to determine if they are compatible and then get together.

l'd prefer to go by chemistry and skip the messages.

Some of us remember about two years ago when it was stated that if his wife dies, he'd "have a replacement" within 30 days. Like you'd do with an old broken vacuum cleaner. Some of us have very long memories. I know you weren't here then yet, @OldOld , but it was... uh... memorable.

Sure do remember it. Maybe his 85 year wife isn’t as useful as she should be, or he thinks she should be.

Would love to hear what his kids think of his opinions.
 
We were the "hippie generation". Some of us lived in communes (not me), grew out of it and lived normal lives.
Maybe it's time to go back to the hippie days and live in senior communes of single bedroom apartments where we have common areas and we all help each other.
I don't know how to insert a "PEACE SIGN"

Firstly, there's no 'solution' needed, when your spouse dies, you usually live alone then.

Many of us prefer that, we have precious memories and our hearts are still filled with love for the one we lost to death.

I have no desire, need, or plan to live with or marry anyone else, including a grieving stranger who I have to background check and get to know.

When you have experienced true love and friendship in a long-term marriage, you're never alone, your heart and soul are forever occupied...no vacancy that needs to be filled. That is my opinion, and I'm at peace with it. 💜

It depends on how old you are when your spouse dies. A friend of mine and his wife were both 60 y.o.when the wife died. We were chatting a few months after the funeral and he told me specifically that he is looking for a young girl friend(of a certain ethnicity) to make up all these years of sexless marriage life. He has the money from his marriage, plus his wife's inherentence (his wife's father passed 2 years prior). All added up to $millions.

Yes, I did specify it was my opinion in that post. A coworker's wife died years ago and he started seeing someone quickly, within a month, soon they were married. Some criticized him for not waiting and mourning longer, but I told them it was his decision only, and he should do what he feels best for himself personally.
 
It took a while, but I've learned how to be a widow and wouldn't dream of marrying again or living with a person of the male persuasion. There's no amount of money that would change my mind. I don't even want a "gentleman caller." Nope. Nopity nope.
 
When I started dating a few years after my husband died, I went out with a widower six times and he never tried to kiss me. His wife had been dead for 10 years and he "felt that he was cheating on her". I realized that there was no future there.

On the other hand, I met another widower for breakfast once and asked when his wife had died. His answer: "A week from Thursday." This was Saturday. Nope to that one, too.
