Тем, кому за 40

[Komissar]

> "As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 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.
>
> If an older woman 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.
>
> 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 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.
>
> Older women 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.
>
> 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. An older woman 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 an older woman.
> They always know.
>
> An older woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick.
> This is not true of younger women or drag queens.
>
> Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off 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 older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal.
> For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed 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.
