This was a riot..and at 45, I'm old enough to say that these fit me a lot...
Andy Rooney - CBS 60 Minutes.
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 50 most
of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 50 will not lay next to you in bed and
ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care
what you think.
If a woman over 50 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.
A woman over 50 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 50 give a
damn what you might think about her or what she's
doing.
Women over 50 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.
A woman over 50 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
50 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her
friends because she knows her friends won't betray
her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to
confess your sins to a woman over 50. They always
know.
A woman over 50 looks good wearing bright red
lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag
queens. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman
over 50 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 50 for a multitude of
reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocated. For
every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of
50+, 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.
