Red Lipstick and Wrinkles: Women Over 40

This was shared by a Facebook friend. I like sharing things every once in a while and it would seem such a shame if I kept this to myself. According to this, we ladies over 40 still have it going on! Woo-Hoo Well that is according to a commentary from Andy Rooney's thoughts on women over forty.

"As I grow in age, I value women who are over forty most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over forty will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She does not care what you think. 

If a woman over forty does not want to watch the game, she does not sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting. 

A woman over forty 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 forty give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing. 

Women over forty 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 forty 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 does not trust the guy with other women. 

Women over forty could not 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 forty. They always know. 

A woman over forty looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over forty 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 forty for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of forty-plus, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some twenty-two-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.

For all of those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free,” here’s an update for you. Now 80 percent of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage."~by Andy Rooney

So what do you ladies think? Are we really that confident, independent, honest, forthright and self-assured when no one is looking at us? 

I have some insecurities that I feel is related to this period in my life that started about the same time the biological clock stopped ticking. I am sure I once read somewhere why be a Kardashian when you can be a Lucy.

So ladies over forty, are you ready to rock the red lipstick? Yeah me either!
