Women Over 40

CBS commentator, Andy Rooney on women over 40:

 

"As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. 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 more interesting. 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. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if 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 over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize."

 

So Ladies, if you're over 40 like me, we have much to be proud of.  I'd like to weigh in on the bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool a himself...he is undoubtedly RICH!  What other use would a 20-something woman have for him?

 

We are in the prime of our lives, whether 41 or 101, we are beautiful, smart, generous, and respectable.  So we have wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.  They are signs that we've lived life - the hard times as well as the good times - to the fullest.  Wear them with pride.  Be happy with who you are - you're the only YOU, you have.
