In Florida and Arizona, the Personal Ads for older folks have become rather long in the tooth. These ads will be typical ten years from now, but they are already in vogue in these two states. Here is a sampling...

FOXY LADY: Sexy, fashion-conscious, blue-haired beauty, 80s, slim, 5’4” (used to be 5’6”), Searching for sharp-looking, sharp-dressing companion. Matching white shoes and belt a plus.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: Recent widow who has just buried fourth husband looking for someone to round out a six-unit plot. Dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, not a problem.
SERENITY NOW: I am into solitude, long walks, sunrises, the ocean, yoga and meditation. If you are the silent type, let’s get together, take our hearing aids out, and enjoy quiet times.
WINNING SMILE: Active grandmother with original teeth seeking a dedicated flosser, to share rare steaks, corn on the cob, and caramel candy.
BEATLES OR STONES? I still like to rock, still like to cruise in my Camaro on Saturday nights and still like to play the air guitar. If you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let’s get together and listen to my boss collection of eight-track tapes.
MEMORIES: I can usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can remember Friday, Saturday and Sunday, let’s put our two heads together.
MINT CONDITION: Male, 1932, high mileage, good condition, some hair, many new parts including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Doesn’t run but walks well.

Thanks Mike!
