01/23/2008: "Women Over 40"


Valentine's Day is approaching and I am thinking more of my love and all the things she does for me. Here is a good tribute to all the women over 40 (or 50, or 60, ...).

by Andy Rooney

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. 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!

Doug-I loved this, and it's true and I'll be 45 in April. Don't know if it's the age, the family, me, or what, but it's nice to feel good about where you are in life, what you want, and what's important. I hope you got over your virus and are feeling much better. You and Jeanette enjoy a great Valentine's day.

...but, of course, Jeannette isn't even close to 40!

Right on! Thanks for posting that piece...I will pass it along to all the fabulous 40+ women I know. They'll love it too.

And right on for all you men who don't buy into the "youth is best" campaign.

Have a fabulous week with your fabulous 40+ wife!
