Women over 30

I'm not usually a big fan of Andy Rooney, but I loved this........especially the last line........


This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes

Andy Rooney says: 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.
 
Let's hear it for the wrinkly, fat man with the caterpillar eyebrows!

Actually...I look horrible in bright, red lipstick.
 
What is Rooney's purpose for writing or saying anything?

Still loved that last line though. It made me laugh.
 
Well, I wouldn't say I'm against marriage....but I don't think it's something that you should strive for as your life's ambition. One thing that always bugged me was the women who think they have to have to get married in order to be happy. If they don't get married, they're a failure. So they marry someone totally inappropriate and are stuck. My daughter is never going to believe that.

I'm very grateful that my parents never pulled that head-trip on me. Never heard, "when are you going to get married?" or "when are you going to have children?" Sure, there was still part of me that thought I would be a loser if I didn't get married, but now that I'm married...I know better.
 
According to www.snopes.com:

This item was not penned by Andy Rooney; it is an embellished version of a piece created by Frank Kaiser, a columnist whose Suddenly Senior articles are published on his web site and syndicated to a variety of newspapers across the U.S.

Baltimore Sun writer Susan Reimer contacted Andy Rooney, who told her:

"It just bugs me that anybody would put my name on something I didn't write," said Rooney from his New York office. He's been the object of this kind of hoax before, and another, he said, had just crossed his desk.

I asked him if he shared the author's affection for older women, and he said, "Not particularly."
 
Thanks Maximus! I needed something EXACTLY like this today. It just got copy-pasted into a word document that I will be circulating to all my over-30 girlfriends.

I can't agree with you more! I've never been a huge fan of his.

All I can say is that I've soooo enjoyed my thirties. I remember being about 26 yrs old when it struck me that it didn't matter if everyone liked me...because I could honestly say I didn't like everybody. During my thirties I learned to not feel bad or guilty about it; a person can be kind and respectful and yet not care for a person or agree with them. I'm trying to teach this to my daughter now because it truly makes life more pleasant for everyone.

I'll be 38 in March and I'm sad to be nearing the end of a decade since it's been so good, and yet I'm excited about what comes next!
 
>Why thank you. The fact that Rooney didn't like it OR agree
>with it makes me like it that much more.

You are quite welcome. :)
