So I got a rare day off from work today. In an attemt to do something productive I am cleaning out my inbox and ran across this.....thought you might enjoy it..

Here is a piece written by Andy Rooney - CBS 60
Minutes.

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 damn 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 or drag queens.

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...

Thanks Gregg.......... my only adjustment to the above is that it is even more true of women over 50 than those over 30. At 30, the female of the species is still growing into herself.

Thanks, gregg!

As a 30 yr old, I hadn't yet thought of myself as an older woman until right now.

But, I do agree, nice for "future reference"

I'm gonna change all the 30's to 50's, like Judy. If it's a good wine, it just gets more-so with time.

Yup! I have to agree with Judy. The first time I saw this it said "Women over 50." I have to say that my 30's decade was the one in which I did "come into myself." But it took a full 10 years! I think this is true of most women. I revel in my independence, my ability to "do stuff," and my wisdom at my age. Let's hear it for "older women." (I'm still pretty sexy too!).
