Something to think about

  • Because of a higher life expectancy, females outnumber males by 10% among those aged 65 years or more.
  • But among elderly singles, males outnumber the females by 13.8% in the year 2000.

Haha, single females shld look to the bigger pool of elderly male singles to snare a mate? Perhaps that's what happened in MP Irene Ng's case -- she 43 and he 62 and she's finally trotting down the aisle wearing a smile...

Actually I was thinking along the lines that females don't cope with being single as well as men do...

There are plenty of widows above 65 years of age to fight off if you want an elderly man. ;)
