Over the years many a centenarian has delivered their secret for a long life.
Not smoking, daily exercise, moderate drinking, being married (and sometimes not being married) have all had their champions.
But, at the ripe old age of 105, Clara Meadmore could trump the lot: a life of celibacy.
Miss Meadmore says she has always been too busy for relationships and thought of physical intimacy as a ‘hassle’.
The former secretary, who will celebrate her birthday tomorrow, said she had no regrets about remaining a virgin and had turned down several marriage proposals.
I figured that this one would be a hot topic.
Smarten up! It is not impossible for her to be called “Granny” even though she never had children. The reason she is called granny it is because she is older. It is a loving and respectable attribute to her. There are some people who call older women “Mama” or “Mother” and they are not their mothers. Likewise calling older women “Aunty” and they are not their aunts. It depends how close we are to them in friendship (could be a neighbor), their children and other relatives.
When I saw the article last week but did not comment (yet), I thought I would refer to her as “Granny” due to her age.
Choosing to remain single and celibate, a virgin, was her prerogative. It is mind over matter. Once she made up her mind, she was happy living her life accordingly, free of hassles as she said.
As every one knows having a boyfriend/girlfriend, marrying and having children are not or never are bed of roses. Those who survive the challenges and problems without being unhappy and going insane are fortunate.
She looks like one who is a pleasant person and who was happy living her life with no regrets and this is good enough for her. Having to cope with other people of the world and in the work place is enough. Bet she was never miserable.
People are free to make their life’s decision and how they want to spend it, as long as they are happy and experience peace of mind. No one should question them. It is their choice.
I am certain that God is pleased with her for having lived such a life and a healthy one. She could have been the envy of some people.
It is not stated that she is a believer and specifically a Christian. Rather than criticize her for having chosen this lifestyle, I would pray for her that God will save her.
We Christians are to pray for others, including those who have not yet accepted Our Lord, King and Savior, Jesus Christ and who say that their religion is one of God. This is what they are taught. However, in their ignorance they do not realize that they are highly mistaken and their teaching is false. They need prayers, for their conversion, to come to the knowledge of the truth.
If you want to live longer. It’s all about having no man and having sex with no strings attached.
……That does not mean, Granny is free of sins…because God said we should multiply..and she did not…..not having SEX, is not a blessing……for she missed out on that aha moment….Making Love, having a fulfilled sex life!!!!!!! maybe she could have lived for another 100 yrs…
guess Granny had choices, and reasons why…..who are we to talk…
Happy Bday Grans…
maybe things may be different the next time around…
am not beliveing dat shit 4 one one sec
What have we become, when a 105 yr old ripe human being condemns intimacy? this is cooked.
hmm papa mary didnt even hold her virginity tight so looooool anyways thts cool but we still need to sex to reproduce and populate the earth if all of us had to follow in her footsteps the human race would go extinct lol
yep just like granny here is going extinct…
sometimes ,i wish you all would read your comments before submitting, cause the comments make no sence
how is she a GRANNY IF SHE NEVER HAD SEX
Adoption?
ROFL!!!!
wow!! happy birthday to granny!!!

well she might have many more birthdays but she wouldnt come lol.
i would put a nice sex on granny ..lube her up and lets go
wats wrong with u… FREAK!!!! dont you hav anything better to comment then just shutup and read!!! your a pervert and i pray to god that you are NOT a dominican. u speak like u have no education what so ever and with that way of thinkin u look like u will stay a virgin just like her!!!

aye, why are you so disgusting and vile with a dirty filthy mind?
“HOLLYWOOD” take note! Y’all remember the movie “40yr old virgin”? That’s “Guinness Book” story wii….as for me? I’m a “DEAD MAN WALKING”
Happy birthday granny, u are one out of a millon,, njoy your day…..
what she is saying can be true based on the way she was raised. The way one raise may make them enjoy life or fear life. For eg. there are people who are afriad of sex and will not have sex even if they have a husband because of what their parents told them. I was watching a show of women who feared having sex because of what was told to them from a child or being abuse. She might not want sex because (just an example) her parents told her if she ever have sex she will not go to heaven or will never have a full life or something of that sort.
Many people will say she lie because they cannot view someone in this day and age not having sex. But sometimes the rare events or things are true.
I admire that lady! some people just does not want to go through that hassle. Relationships are a hassle and who wants someone to be always digging into you. The many times one changes a relationship that the different times a man gets inside of you.
Some people likes to be free up and independent. No hassles, no problems, no cooking, no washing, no sex and no fights. Just living a God free life.
Living without sex is not a ‘God’ free life. Where did you get this?
Also, we are not ‘independent,’ we are interdependent. Thus I disagree with this comment.
^ very sad human being huh? just go celibate is all. who cares if u dont want a relationship and are too selfish to share urself with another human?
Living without sex is not a ‘God’ free life. Where did you get this?
Also, we are not ‘independent,’ we are interdependent. Thus I disagree with this comment.
well i hope granny was not committing any other sin, cause this is a straight voyage to heaven no fornication…..
Let’s hope granny did not hear about the truth. If she did, she will be accountable before the Most High.
I do not consider anything to be a factor of long life other than God’s doing. However i will not judge you for not having sex and you will not judge me for having sex within the bounds of marriage. Celibacy worked for you but it sure ain’t my cup of tea.
If that lady had some sex she woulda be telling us that at 205 years old trust me ..
Ksj??lol
Well god tell us we should go on and multiply see good good at Maths. Anyways big up grannie she look happy though. She look wise too I bet she knows that 48÷2(9+3) does not equal to 2.
The answer to this equation is the answer to long life
NO MAN + NO SEX = NO PROBLEM * LONG LIFE
NO woman + No sex = No stress * Longer life
Men die before their women. Is Stress Thing
o no is a tooo much sex thing
Boy dis lady lucky…no sex…means no man..means no problem! No wonder she lived so long because she did not have any man giving her problems…ummm..so to women out there “if you want to live long, have no man and no sex”…
that’s the way to go…
i’m now turning 104 on monday. granny he can still stand strong. can i be the first to rock your world? JUST REMEMBER MY AGE PEOPLE. 104.
it might take me another 50 yrs to cum but we can try.
hope those vains a and mussels doe kill me.

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST
poor lady has no idea what she’s missed out on. They do say that ignorance is bliss.
Wow! If that is true, then that deserves a wow! Enjoy the bday, Gran.
God bless her soul. That is indeed a wonderful thing!
thats remarkable, most girls cant hold up past 15!! but imma get married and get me some..replenish the earth and all……
They sure about that age? How can someone born in 1903 be 105 years? Hmmmm these people need to get their facts straight.
nice observation. so u done know if de simple maths has an error, so much for that virgin story
EaSiLy:
who ever you are you have just made my day with that comment… funny
but i will not doubt it.. i believe her
ha…ha…ha… i like that one
Yup must be people who think 2 is the answer from 48÷2(9+3)
iwhat the answer is if aint 2 ?????????????????
BODMAS… brackets off, divide, multiply, add, subtract. and then lol when u get 2 or 288… hahaha
Guys, this story is 3 years old, it was published in 2008….
lol
\…. 105 years of doing nothing
mehhhh,,, she stopped for long so the virgin grow back is all…
Wow this barbwire panty work well.Grandma died at 105 years and had 14 kids with 6 different men,guess this is another secret to long life.
Happy advanced birthday gran. I have taken a page from your book…….. its almost a year and am holding it back until am married. God blessings upon you.
Almost a year were u born last year since grandma been holding on from 1905 which in their minds adds up to 105… LMAO stupidness all over the place…
A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. The creator has blessed you with an abundance of years enjoy them. Hope you live to see a few more.
Doh 4get that Ma Pampo lived to be 128! and at 128 ma pampo was looking younger than her! So i guess if she wants to look younger she should get some.
105 virgin?….dat was a waste…..Now who there to take care of you? Well God…but God say reproduce for a reason! That doesn’t make any sense what she is saying
i refuse to believe dat!
dr i order u to check her hymen please!
What a waste of life!
It is really a shame for you to make sure insensitive statements. Please grow up and act your age.
You can’t tell them to act their age and you don’t even know it …. You fool
ROFL
You are to DUMB to know that not having a hymen does not mean you are not a virgin. Next time before you post a comment read and get the facts. And just to educate you, you can loose your hymen without engaging in sexual activity of any kind.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I PARY TO GOD U LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER YEAR. 105 AND A VIRGIN WOW.
Well I guess I can forget about reaching 100 lol!
What do you think is there to be benefitted in being laid esp by some Frodos who does respect the dignity of a woman or by those womanisers. Sex should be for Husbands not here there and everywheree and being dumped for a younger one or after giving birth to a few who those same lovers of sex never even contributed to their wellbeing and upbringing. It was about the enjoyment i got having sex and it was about I I I I and myself and Me.
Well done Granny . Happy Birthday and Girls the way to go ….. Pastor Rawls article read.. If he cannot marry you then he does not deseve free sex! Thumbs down from the I, Me and Myself sex lovers but do I care.. This is the truth!
Somebody did you wrong. You sound like a woman scorned.
Probably scorned by one of you men ofcourse! Just her point!!
sex not for husbands… its actually for everyone.. especially those pretty boys who use those slick lines to get the little girls to open their legs…they’re so innocent and just want to explore and we know that…Cherry farming <3
go and convert the world’s prostitutes…
how about changing that. My grandpa’s available
alas grans happy birthday but alas why no sex. I go die early wi pal.
well them muslims going to be very excited when they get one of those virgins in heaven.
Unfortunately these from paradise never inhabited the earth or has seen any man.
how the f*ck do you all know everything about paradise?
Hail Mary Full Of GRACE The LOrd is with thee blessed amongst all women and blessed is thy womb. Happy Birthday Granny. When i grow up i want to be just like you.
Finish the prayer…Hail Mary MOTHER OF GOD pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
How could the eternal have a mother?
You should always try to be like u and no one else….
that 105 could be 150 if she got laid…
lol
True that,I hate virgins
@Shatta: You hate what is pure and wholesome. Allah created the virgin woman, you prefer a prostitute? Seems that your heart is inverted and sick.
Allah is not a God… He’s a Brute who beheads women who cheat on their husbands…your religion is a reason to live a violent lifestyle and justify it…even the sharia part of it too…soon enought he world is going to follow in France’s footsteps…
but u one
Islam is the religion of God. And I bear witness that there is no dirty worthy of worshibut God alone who has no partner Anne Muhammad ( peace and blessings be upon him) is His final messenger.
