I saw the same with my mother and the other women in her community competing (as if it were life or death) for the same little old guy in the neighborhood who was not really much of a "catch." All the women (widows/divorced) were more educated, more worldly, and much better off financially...but would have likely killed each other to land him. He was a retired painter that had never left his hometown and was in his late 70s (with some equally unaccomplished kids and grandkids). The only TV he watched was the RFD channel and raised a few chickens for eggs. He was quite unaccomplished and really not well informed...although seemed a fairly decent guy. Not even much of a physical specimen (about 5'5" and 120 lbs). Once married, he did not last long.
