Nancy and Bev both gave their stamp of approval to this piece from Andy Rooney.
Women Over 40
"As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
1. A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you
thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
2. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She
does something she wants to do. And it's usually
something more interesting.
3. A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a
damn what you might think about her or what she's
doing.
4. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the
middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if
you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you,
if they think they can get away with it.
5. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be
unappreciated.
6. A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger
woman with a man will often ignore even her best
friend because she doesn't trust the guy with
other women. Women over 40 couldn't care less if
you're attracted to her friends because she knows
her friends won't betray her.
7. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They
always know.
8. A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not True of younger women or
drag queens.
9. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
10. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are
acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder
where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For
every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of
40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow
pants making a fool of himself with some
22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize." ~ ANDY ROONEY
