For Sale: Nice House, Wife Included

I‘m told it can be hard for accomplished, attractive women in their 40s to find the right guy.  Many of us are self-absorbed jerks who are battling a mid-life crisis and can’t commit to a relationship, while too many of the rest of us are too fat, wear our pants too high, and are starting to get hair growing in our ears.

An enterprising Denver woman, the CEO of her own company, has come up with a novel way to deal with the problem:  A web site called “House With A Bride.”  She’s offering to sell her $600,000 home to a single man, age 40 to 60 — on the condition that she go along with it.

The prospective buyer should be “well educated and well spoken, and [have] a professional career. . . .  Other important traits include love of travel and adventure, a good conversationalist, and a lover of animals. . . . It is important to me that a man be open and caring, kind in words and deeds, spontaneous to a certain extent, and takes pride in his appearance.”

Sounds like a contracts professor would be ideal for her.  Photos of the house are here, and photos of seller Deborah Hale are here.
