| For Women Over 30 by Andy Rooney |
Friday, from another coworker....
Andy Rooney said:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 30 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 30 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 30 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 30 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 30 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 30 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 30 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 30. They always know.
A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 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 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, 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 |

I crossed over to the 'dark side' last year. I must confess to being absolutely terrified at the time, goodness knows why....I am much happier in myself now than I have ever been. Wouldn't like to be in my twenties again, far too confusing :)
-
A little sausage, that's a good one!! That coming from the ED posterchild. I heard Andy has a lot of praise for 30 year old goats, but I don't have any proof.
-
Oh, is that what it's going to feel like then Fuff? Thanks for letting me know in advance...
0 : )
-
Ha! I think Seb's going to need some bolt croppers to get that shiny thing off his neck.
-
Lol, Fuff! You are still a fresh salad in comparison with yours truly. :-) But happy to hear that you're comfortable in the land of the 30s.
My 20s were a succession of hard study and hard work. Hmm. Not much seems to have changed. I might need to rethink my strategy here... ;-)
As for SC's contraption... look more closely. I think the bolt cutters won't be needed. Just unfasten the Velcro. ;-)
PK: I seriously fear your detailed knowledge of such things as arraigned topless women and farmyard animals. I think we need to talk. :-)
Charlie: Thank you. I am much nearer the River Styx than young Fuff and am most grateful to you for reminding me of that salient fact.
Now, go stand in the corner.
-
my life now makes sense... you're my hero for posting this.
-
ha ha hee hee. I have a cheeky colleague who sent me this except the title was women over 40. (Clearly he decided to customize it)It just proves we get better as we mature. and PK, before you say something mean about this - count to 10 !!
:-)
-
Amy: Most gracious of you, but my coworker deserves the praise for passing it to me. :-) I enjoyed the sentiments therein tremendously, mostly because they're true! :-D
Mummified, that was a right cheeky blighter! I say you leave bread crumbs all over his chair seat. :-)
And who said anything about me being more mature? ;-)
