Talk about tacky and tasteless! Not all women are like that. Unfortunately though a lot are.
I know. I was married to a much classier woman for 29 years. I don't blame anyone for feeling desperate and such a feeling can cloud judgment. Some single women over 40 feel a tremendous urge to marry and the demographics don't favor their chances. My attitude is fairly common among widowers I've met and that's not helping the situation I suppose but I just don't see a compelling reason to marry. Maybe that'll change.
