As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few resons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, " What are you thinking ? " She doesnt care what you think! If a woman over 40 doesnt want to watch the game, she doesnt sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and its 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 wont hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what its 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.
Right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You dont ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, its 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. For all those men who say, " Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? " here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why?
Because women realize its not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!
