I met with a young (everyone was 30-50) widow/widower support group last night for dinner. There were 12 people at the table with only two of us being men, and the other man was there with his sister and not really a widower. Me and 10 widows ended up being the final count.
Is this because more men lose their wives at a young age but then the women pull ahead in the later years? Is it because men aren't as likely to seek support?
I don't know the answers to either of these questions...what I do know is that if you're the only guy at a table with 10 women you never have to worry about having someone that wants to talk with you.

Bob, I get the impression that at any social gathering you are never lacking company for long. ;)
