Would you marry a widow?

Question for those of you that are 30+

Would you marry a widow? The widow is a virtuous woman and she was only ever with her now deceased husband.

It is obviously not ideal. Assuming you can verify that she didn't murder him, she is probably going to compare you disfavorably to him. Of course if she had children from him or whoever it is a non starter.

So you would be willing to consider a childless widow?

However, a widow with children is not even up for consideration. What if the children are independent adults?
Hypothetically, the women had two children at age 19 and 21 and she is now 39 years old. The kids are out of the house and earning their own money. Is this something you would consider?  

What is the point of marrying if you are not going to have children? The only reason would be if she were rich and you could take her money.

I do share some sentiments with you.

The purpose of my question is to get an understanding of the mood of men who are deemed old in the marriage market.
