Dedicated to all women over 40...

Okay all you ladies out there over 40...I normally don't meddle in the minds of men and why they do what they do in reference to preference. However a recent "Rooney Moment" has come to my attention found in the archives of Andy Rooney's messages from 60 minutes. I thought it would be fun for those of you ladies out there that watch every day men our age opting for the younger woman. Finally we have someone who defends us.

Enjoy...

This is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

"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 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!"

Thank you Andy...gotta love the man that defends the woman over 40. I am not sure about the pig and sausage comment though that was a bit brutal don't you think? You aren't reading this are you mom:-)?

So my dear ladies there is hope for all of us, for where there is one there are others who think this I am sure. I know they are rare but we will find them. The key is to not lose heart!
