This is for all you girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's...AND for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!!...
In Praise of Older Women
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 never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
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.
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.
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 and/or if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you 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.

Yeah - that 80% was a little bothersome - and then I remembered it's supposed to be an ironic little internet piece, good for a dry chuckle or two.

I actually kind of like that piece. It's a pretty fair description of why I tend to prefer women older than myself. They're more self-assured.

I'm tired of men vs. women jokes. They're like cotton candy made with cyanide. Melt in your mouth, but bitter aftertaste.

I saw part of a documentary about attractiveness, and the interviewed Heffner. He said that women shouldn't complain about being seen as sex objects, because if they weren't the human race would be extinct.
I see his point, but I think it's one-sided. Women see men as sex objects, too. At least I do.
It may not be strictly polite to admit it, but when some firm, fit man goes jogging past me without a shirt, I'm not so terribly concerned with how good he is with kids or what his stock portfolio is like.
I think both men and women should be concerned with more than physical attractiveness when seeking a mate. Those things are obviously temporary, and we should bind ourselves to those people who will care for us when we are sick and old and for whom we will do the same.
But that doesn't mean BOTH sexes don't think, "Yowza!" at the sight of someone they find physically attractive.
I think the world would be a better place if we didn't go into it half-expecting all men to be lecherous and all women to greedy or shrill. Certain responses are just HUMAN in nature, and not as gender-specific as we'd like to think.

I agree, Olivetta. I fell for my husband utterly when I saw him holding a kitten. He held it with such love and tenderness, and that is ho he has always held me, and our children.
