This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.... 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 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 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. An e mail I received Ann Glos

Sorry Di I had not heard of him. My sister sent it to me in an e mail. Ann Glos

i enjoyed reading that ann,thank you..........but,i think it refers more to women over 40...wot do you think? bryan.

Yes I think in general the comments concerning the fair sex are true but I do get just little tired of the critisism of men. We are as our genes dictate. In other words we are programed to admire and chase the opposite sex. Just think how dull life would be if neither gender had a life long appreciation their mates. By the way I do not or wish to have a Dolly Bird on my arm WHAT on EARTH would we have in common . I'm 67

I liked it Ann.Tell though do all the attributes listed double when you hit 60- curious Rose

Ann i think it refers to 40+ better, i hit 40 and the confidence just appeared, i'm 43 now and don't care what others think of me. I say what i think and feel but to some it can be a bit blunt, if they're not on that wave length lol sandra

I have to admit I thought 40 was more appropriate. David, I am sure you would find SOMETHING in common if you had a dolly bird - you might not make 68 though!!! Ros Taking you question seriously: would be more than a wrinkle or two!!! I am not sure confidence doubles at 60, in some ways it seems to get less again. But maybe that is because so many reports on older people are negative i.e. expecting you to have ill health ("it's your age, only to be expected"), be a bit doddery, not interested in modern clothes, hair styles, (dare I say the s** word). Ann Glos

It's true - wine, violins and women improve with the years. Penny Smith on ITV is a thousand times sexier than Britney Spears.

definetly not me.maybe i can say that i am 32 going on 22 then!!xxxxx(:

I think 30 is not far wrong. Women do grow up quicker than men! I was married at 23! Jacquie
