I value women who are over 50 most of all
i don't know if andy rooney really wrote this, but as someone who recently turned 51, and had a happy birthday, but whoever wrote it, they are telling the truth.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Here is a piece on women over 50 written by Andy Rooney of CBS 60 Minutes.

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 50 most of all. Here are just
a few reasons why:

A woman over 50 will not lay next to you in bed and ask, "What are you
thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 50 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 50 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 a
damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 50 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 50 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 50 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 50. They always know.

A woman over 50 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of
younger women or drag queens.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her
younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you
are a jerk or if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder
where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of
50+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 18-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.

Note: if you are not 50 or over, just save this until you need it - Joan

2. Thanks, I'm 55 and appreciate this
He does make good points....Women over 50 really don't care much about much having to do with interpersonal relationships...We figure it'll work or it won't - no problem...I also have found I've become a bit selfish, in the aspect that what is important to me gets the attention - and I could care less if those I love are interested or not...Plus, the remote is now in MY control.....:rofl:

3. Ben Franklin had something to say about women over 50.
But I can't repeat it here. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 12:57 PM by WCGreen
I like women of all ages but am partial to those older wiser and calmer.......

Teh sexual thing he talks about makes me fully appresiate Andy Rooney once again.....

I hate to be crude but....

when I was younger, I fucked....

Now that I am older, we make love.....

On Edit...

Cuddling is forplay when you are over fifty....

An after thought when you are young....

8. I like the pig and sausage comment.
With age comes a lot of things. Most are positive. We should all be glad to even make it to 50.
