In Praise of the Mature --and Fab-- Woman

Spinsterlicious

I celebrated a birthday last month and what a fun day it was. In commemoration of me adding another year, a friend sent me a piece attributed to Andy Rooney called In Praise of Women Over 40 (or something like that). I like it. Here it is:


As I grow in age, I value women who are 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 to 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 something more interesting.

  • A woman over 40 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 damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.


  • 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.

  • A woman over 40 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 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.
