Statia Kealy of Ireland has never married, smoked, drank or even put on makeup. So maybe that's why she's finally ready to cut loose and hit the dating scene at the tender age of 106. Statia, who could easily pass for 88 or 89, says she's looking for love. If you know any lonely centenarians who live near Ireland, maybe you should pass along her number. She's got a sense of humor, telling one reporter, "Those that get married do well, but those that don't do better." Fiery!
If she can't find a man and is willing to learn Chinese, maybe she could be pen-pals with Wang Guiying, a 107-year old Chinese lady who finds herself in the same "predicament." Although 106 years of eating Poptarts alone in bed doesn't necessarily sound so bad.

Your comment was crule. First of all she is looking to DATE. AKA....dinner, conversation, companionship, friendship. It's obvious you only think of one thing when dating.......sad for you.

I know how Statia feels. It goes back to the comic strip where the lady skeleton is sitting on a bench waiting for Mr. Right. It's nearly impossible to find him. The good guys are either married, have a "significant other" or already have their own boyfriends.

Yes Mr. Right is very hard to find, but when you do, it is very good. Almost perfect. I had that but fate stole it away from me when after only 9 years together he passed away. So, keep looking maybe with a much more optimistic attitude. Enjoy the search!

About a decade ago, I had a friend who was attractive, kind of Kim Basinger type of beauty. Yet, she could not find a decent man as boyfriend or lover. One day, she blurt out: OH I KNOW WHY THERE ARE NO ELIGIBLE MEN AROUND! THEY ALL DIED IN VIETNAM!
LoL! Ten years from now, American women in their 40's are going to say:
OH, I KNOW WHY THERE ARE NO ELIGIBLE MEN AROUND! THEY ALL DIED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN!
Funny but true!

Never smoke, drink, married or put on make-up? How can you go a 106 years without living a day in your life?

You Go Girl! Maybe you can hook up with that nice man in Virginia who is 107 Mr. Larry "Curly" Haubner. Find out if he is single too. He looks like he's into fitness decent shape.

Good for her!!! Better to wait than be stuck with some jerk who treats you like crap! I have a new hero, her name is Statia Kealy!!! Whomever said it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all was a moron! She will die happy and the rest of us who think our lives need to revolve around a mate will suffer years of misery and end up alone anyways, and bitter to boot!

Lord Alfred Tennyson said "it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all".. Far from an idiot.
But other than that I do agree with your statement whole heartedly!
