Women Over 40

By 60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

As I grow in age, I value women 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 and 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 more interesting. 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. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 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 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, 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!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

Femmes & Fellas, forward to five fine, fun, fabulous, fancy-free female friends over 40; or even those who haven't yet reached 40, because someday they will!

I Love It, I'm way over 40, LOL I'm going to be 52 this year. And yes, past the dreaded Menopause, lol. I have lost almost 60 lbs in the last year and ahalf, feel better than I did in my 2o's, look Great, am told I look to be no more than 40, but the best part I feel better about myself. I have 1 grandson, soon to be 5, he is a handful, lol. I'm in better physical shaper than alot of younger people. I walk about 5-10 miles almost every day, and am in a size 4 jeans, lol. So getting older isn't a bad thing. I know I can't do cartwheels, might hurt myself, lol, but Ladies just like a good wine, we get better with age. Congrats Ladies...

Soon to be 43 and happy each year I age in number and wander if I will ever age in mind 'cause "I'll never grow up" 'cause I have 'PeterPan syndrome' and it has life long effects!
