Australia’s government-funded Relationships Australia has a bit of advice for older single women having trouble finding companionship — give lesbianism a try! Seriously.
The Herald Sun quoted Relationships Australia spokesman Jack Carney as saying,
As they get over 60, opportunities [for women] to get a man diminish substantially. Men marry younger women and they die about eight years younger, so there is a real male shortage.
And as women get even older it gets much worse, so we ask them to entertain the idea of lesbian relationships.
