It’s never easy to get back into the dating world after being alone for a long time, especially as we grow older. The fear of being alone or judged can make anyone hesitant to start searching for love again. But this funny and heartwarming story about a 70-year-old widow will show you that it’s never too late to find love—or at least share a good laugh.
One day, this widow decided to take a bold step and place a newspaper advertisement in search of a new husband. Little did she know that her humorous ad would go viral, leaving people around the world laughing at the unexpected twist.
Here’s how her ad read:
“Wanted! Husband! Must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me, and must still be good in bed. Please submit your applications in person.”
The very next day, the doorbell rang, and when she opened the door, she was surprised to see an elderly man in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs.
Shocked, the widow asked, “You’re not really applying for the position, are you? I mean, you don’t even have any legs!”
With a smile on his face, the man replied, “That’s right, I can’t run around on you.”
The widow raised an eyebrow and said, “But you don’t have any arms either!”
The man grinned and responded, “Which means I can never beat you.”
Intrigued, she asked one final question, “But are you still good in bed?”
The old man leaned back with a smirk and said, “Well, I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”
This charming story highlights that, no matter your age, a sense of humor is always a great way to connect with others. It’s a reminder to keep our spirits up, and that sometimes, a good laugh is all we need to brighten the day.
