Happy Birthday to me

Today, I am officially another step closer to 40 and this brings about ponderings and musings. A friend sent me this little tidbit about a month ago and I decided to save it until today.

ANDY ROONEY’S VIEW OF WOMEN OVER 40

Andy Rooney says…. “As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

An over 40 woman will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.

If an over 40 woman 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.

An over 40 woman 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 40 give a darn what you might think about her or what she’s doing.

An over 40 woman usually has had her fill of “meaningful relationships” and commitment.” The last thing she wants in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover.

Over 40 women 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.

Over 40 women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.

An over 40 woman 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. A woman over 40 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 an over 40 woman. They always know.

An over 40 woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women.

Over 40 women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off 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 over 40 women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.

As I look over this list, I realize I have most of it covered. I either do that or am significantly on my way to it. The exception is the Psychic which I don’t see happening at any time. I may already know the sins but it isn’t because I pulled them from anybody’s mind.

  1. Happy Birthday!

    Tonight will be fun, an excuse to get a number of good friends together and be silly!

    As for the Andy Rooney quote,”…For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.”

    This one is a little close to home for comfort as I know one man and one woman, both 38, who left their respective spouses for 19 year-olds.
