“But I also feel it would be an extraordinary opportunity because, listen, I’ve gone to matchmakers, where they do all the work,” the 65-year-old further stated. “And so at least you know certain things about a person, instead of going in completely blind.”
The fitness instructor continued, “And this, I know for a fact they vet you quite a while, and you have to really go through a lot to be considered.” She added that she would be meeting men who were “vetted” beforehand and not randomly, because of which they would be honest about themselves with her. She remarked, “That would be something, wouldn’t it?”
