THE HITCHING POST

I’m a 57-year-old white lady and widow who is looking for a white man between the ages of 57 and 75. He needs to be financially secure and willing to commit, and he should love dogs and nature.

I lead a simple life and enjoy the outdoors and camping. I’m honest and down to earth, and believe in integrity. I don’t smoke and I’m not a party animal. Send me a note and let’s see if we are soulmates. ALL YOURS, 9480

Ek is op soek na ’n aantreklike blanke dame tussen 60 en 70 met ’n aangename persoonlikheid wat die natuur en skepping saam met my kan geniet. Ek hou van braai, hengel aan die kus, en die fyner aspekte van die lewe. Ek sou verkies dat sy in KwaZuluNatal woon, maar dis nie nodig nie. CAPRICORN, 1725

I’m a respectable French-speaking gentleman of 75 who enjoys conversation, correspondence and the occasional outing. I would like to hear from a lady who has similar interests. ALBERTINO BEREA, 2198

I am looking for a gentleman in his 70s who is lonely and tired of being on his own, but is young at heart. He should be interested in walks along the beachfront, braais with friends and occasional evenings out; in other words, someone who generally enjoys life. I’m in my 70s but have an uncomplicated mindset that is years younger. I would like companionship and a special someone in my life.

I live in Cape Town, and would really like to meet someone from this area. Hopefully, you are the one. OPTIMISTIC

I am a widow living and working on the East Rand in Gauteng. I have four adult children whom I visit whenever possible. My interests include playing golf and contract bridge, gardening, theatre, movies and entertaining at home. I travel locally and internationally, whenever I can. CHAT TO ME IF YOU WISH

I am a lovely lady looking for a healthy, adventurous, refined gentleman who is also a nature lover. I envisage a retired engineer, pilot, doctor or farmer in his 60s or early 70s. He should have a good sense of humour and be a practical, intelligent man. ZEST FOR LIFE
