I feel your pain. I'm sorry you'r wife passed on brother, I hope you find another companion some day but realize it will be difficult. Fortunately, women tend to like older men that are stable more than some kid that barely has a career. I recently gave up on a girl I loved deeply because she was just too self absorbed and immature. I hate it but young girls are mostly retarded, sluts, or some combination. The older ones are either used up or badly aging. The rare good women that are virgin, late 20s to early 30s and sensible are almost nonexistent. I'm 27 and have yet to have a relationship stronger than being friends. It's just a shitty dating market right now. Your best bet is if you have any female family, maybe they can screen some of their friends for you. I've been seeing a friend of a family member recently and I'm taking my time being careful with her but I think maybe she might actually be a good one. Only time will tell, but the point is, if you have any friends or family, try and see if they know someone. That way hopefully you don't get lost in a field of used up skanks.
