A Tribute to Older Women from Andy Rooney

"As I grow in age, I value older women most of all."

Here are just a few reasons why:

An older woman will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

An older woman 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, except her husband.

An older single woman usually has had her fill of "meaningful relationships" and "commitment."

The last thing she needs in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover!

Older women are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant or show up at your place at 2:00 AM.

Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. We often deserve it, but they are too smart to think they can get away with it.

Most older women cook and entertain well.

An older woman 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. Older women think 'hey, if you want her instead of me, go for it.'

Women get psychic as they age.

You never have to confess your sins to an older woman ... She always knows. v We look and sound foolish ... stupid ... because we are.

An older woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens.

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

Her libido's stronger, her fear of pregnancy gone.

Her experience of lovemaking is honed and reciprocal and she's lived long enough to know how to please a man in ways her daughter could never dream of.

(Young men, you have something to look forward to)

She's more selective as she gets older too.

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 can relax, because she wants (demands?) you to be honest too.

Yes, we praise older women for a multitude of reasons.

Unfortunately, ... it's not reciprocal.

For every stunning, successful, smart, well-coifed babe of 50 plus, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 35 year old cocktail waitress.

Ladies, I apologize for all of us."
