>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 not lay next to you in bed and ask, "What are
>you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.Actually IF we ask, it is because we want to know.
>
>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. Unless we are having one of those days, then we care what everyone one thinks!
>
>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 your 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.
