From Andy Rooney?


As it turns out, according to SNOPES, Andy Rooney did not pen the following. But regardless of where it came from, it's still great! (Just like Salma.)

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.

Unfortunately, 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 it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

Great post! At least until the last two paragraphs. Why does he have to bash men?

I do agree that women over 40 are hot. I find my head turning hard these days. I'm mid 40s, so I guess it's about time. (grin)

Love this! And my 40th is just a few months away.

Big City Dad said...

Awesome. Have to say, I like women out of their 20's much more than in. Too much silliness and not enough knowing what they want.

As I start to round the bend, I'm finding maturity very attractive. Plus they are just hotter.

ha! I love this. I'm not over 40 yet, but I can already identify with a lot of these. I'll have to pass this around to some of "those men" I know. ;)
