Money or Sex Appeal

Katherine Hepburn once said, "If you're given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal".

She might just be right! Mom and friends were happily joking that even at their age, they would be choosy about the widowed men wanting to court them. One said that she wouldn't give a second look to an "ah pek", but quickly changed her mind and said "unless he has a lot of money". Although they laughed it off, I think there is a bit of truth to that. Of course if the guy is pleasant looking and makes good company, money is a bonus, but money alone too can be the draw.

I think when parents say they would like our partners to be able to take care of us, they meant financially! So much for them saying that money is not important, even at their age, it is...
