Young Ladies & Gents, Don't take this too seriously. It's Just Andy Rooney being Andy Rooney. I think He's a blast. Why Older Chicks Rule by Andy Rooney from CBS "60 Minutes" Andy Rooney says: As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. here are just a few reasons why: a.. A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middles of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. b.. 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 something more interesting. c.. A woman over 40 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 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing. d..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. e..Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. f..A woman over 40 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 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her. g..Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They already know. h..A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. i..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. j.. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 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. Now 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.
I thought I'd share this with those who are 40+ and make their day a little more humorous. IP: Logged |

Ohad,I was reading in Soul Union. Saw you're a scorp. Makes sense. A typical scorp is very blunt. I also have a sense of humor that is missed on the masses. When my pisces moon is eclipsed I tend to be blunt and it is also misunderstood. Trying to see both sides is also a common trait. sun moon asc IP: Logged |

Yeah, we tend to be blunt-too bad that people don't understand that a lot of times that bluntness stems from respect for them-doesn't it degrade other people when you censore yourself for their sake, like they are not mature or strong enough to handle what you have to say?------------------ "When the odds are against you, keep calm and cheat."

It’s cute tho quote: Yeah, we tend to be blunt-too bad that people don't understand that a lot of times that bluntness stems from respect for them-doesn't it degrade other people when you censore yourself for their sake, like they are not mature or strong enough to handle what you have to say?
Actually guys can get away with it. If a woman’s like that, then she’s a b*tch or “difficult” IP: Logged |

"people don't understand that a lot of times that bluntness stems from respect for them-doesn't it degrade other people when you censore yourself for their sake, like they are not mature or strong enough to handle what you have to say?"Heck yeah, Ohad, that should be on a billboard in Times Square. Ahh, but do they WANT THE TRUTH???????? "They" CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! hehehe This Venusian girl is used to censoring. It's called "diplomacy" I like a little Scorpion revelation from time to time if the Scorps are wise and intelligent.
