Dr Oz: Martha Stewart’s Online Dating

Dr. Oz asked Martha why she decided to try online dating as a way to find a man for her life. Martha’s first response was to reference her new book where she wrote that having strong personal relationships in your life is one of the best ways to increase your longevity. She says she also figured it is just like having a dog in your life, so she figured why not have a man, too.

Dr. Oz did not waste any time asking Martha exactly what she is looking for in a man, love or love-making? Martha laughed in response and told Dr. Oz they could talk about it later.

Martha again promised she would talk about it at another time, but also agreed with Dr. Oz that we need to talk about it more because it is very important to living a long life.
