If you're not an "older woman" yet, this will give you encouragement! If you are an older woman and you didn't love Andy Rooney before, this maychange your mind! He says:

"As I grow in age, I value older women most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

An older woman will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

An older 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 50 give adamn what you might think about her.

An older single woman usually has had her fill of "meaningful relationships" and "commitment." The last thing she needs in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover!

Older 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.

Most older women cook well. They care about cleanliness and are generous with praise, often undeserved.

An older 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. Older women couldn't care less.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to an older woman. They always know.

An older woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true ofyounger women or drag queens.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are ajerk if you are acting like one.

Yes, we praise older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal.

For every stunning, smart, well-coifed babe of 70 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 of us. That men are genetically inferior is no secret. Count your blessings that we die off at a far younger age, leaving you the best part of your lives to appreciate the exquisite woman you've become, without the distraction of some demanding old man clinging andwhining his way into your serenity."

Signed: Andy Rooney

I'm just :laughing: because this thread has hardly any views. Nobody wants to admit to being "old" enough to open it!

Not me! Getting older is considerably better than the alternative...which would be dead!

Here's a poem I clipped from the newspaper a few years ago (guess why!). I give it to all my friends when they reach that "certain" birthday.

Conversation With Myself on a Certain Birthday

Who wants to be 20? Twenty hasn't got a clue.
And no one over 30 can tell 20 what to do.
Who wants to be 30? Who says 30's prime?
Thirty's got the energy but never has the time.
Who wants to be 40? Forty is the pits.
Forty thinks how great she looked when she was 36.
But 50 has perspective.
Fifty's savvy, wise mature.
And there's nothing wrong with 50
That 60 cannot cure.
by Ellen Conford
