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!
