Who can begrudge them a final fling before wrinkles, arthritis, cancer and death?

I wonder how many women saw or read “Stella Gets Her Groove Back” and were inspired to go find their “true love” on some island, without knowing the real Stella found out her “true love” ended up being a gay man who just used her for a green card.

Only problem is, death might come before the wrinkles, arthritis and cancer...

If this is what passes for journalism in the U.K., these people need to just quit it.

Firstly, the author describes what, to the sane person who can read, can only be described as a "safety wave", with only 3 deaths in 2 years of this kind of "vacationing". See if you can get these odds in South Florida.

Secondly, the description of a third of the "mixed" marriages ending in divorce is a 17% decrease in divorces over all, as fully half of same race marriages end in divorce in the U.K. and the U.S.

Is there not a proofreader that also has the ability to understand what they're reading.

aren’t we seeing this same story every few months? Horny (pathetic) old broads easy marks for young dudes. Gee, there’s news. Right up there with vulnerable young girls easy marks for experienced guys. Is there any story these clever journalists can’t uncover? /s/

I thought this was normal behavior? Especially in Scottsdale.

Some men pay for prostitutes. Some women pay for gigolos. Pretty much same-same if you ask me.

My Daddy used to say, “There’s no fool like an old fool.”

Catching just one STD as a result of sleeping with a young fool who has slept with hundreds of women would certainly give meaning to “ten minutes of pleasure, twenty years or more of pain, and then death”.

How ever good one thinks they look in their mirror, they need to just deduct about, oh, 87% of that number and face the fact that it’s reality. Facing reality is liberating.

I firmly believe that everyone has a right to do what he or she wants legally; however, I am horrified by people middle-aged and beyond who have worked to build a decent life and earn respect who foolishly put that at risk trying to regain lost youth. Dignity to me is an invaluable and underrated commodity, but it seems to have lost its luster in an age that worships youth.

Call me old-fashioned.

If asked, I’d advise these women: Go home, meet decent men, and be an example to your children. You can live “life to the lees” without loss of dignity and self-respect.
