As far as the age preference of the women he is looking for, Gerry shared that information too. He shared he didn’t have much say in the casting of the women in his season. Plus, he wouldn’t want a part in it. Variety shared what Gerry had to say. He said, “I wouldn’t want say in casting. My wife’s been gone six years — of that six, I’ve dated about four [years], and I wasn’t very good at casting for myself, so I’m happy that I don’t have that job. I think that the process that they’ve used in the past and they’ve refined will bring some really fantastic candidates.”

As far as the ages of women he’d like to date, he told producers he was looking for women between the ages of 60 to 70. However, he added that they could blur the lines if they wished to do so.

Now, after mourning her loss and feeling like he has her approval, he’s ready to find someone to spend his life with. He likes the idea of having someone around to share his adventures with.

Gerry said his mantra is to never give up. If one thing doesn’t work out, just try the next. He also said one is never too old to try and find love.
