I get that CC'd email from friends all the time. Most of it is smarmy or something like that. This one is right on. I'd shave Rooney's age quotied by 5-6 years in the providers I see, but he's got the general profile of adult women I'm attracted to fairly well outlined. Here it is:
Some of you are not 40 yet, and some are males, but thought you would
enjoy
anyway.....
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:

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 damn 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.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, an older woman is far sexier than
her younger counterpart. Her libido's stronger, her fear of pregnancy
gone. Her experience of lovemaking is honed and reciprocal and she's
lived long enough to know how to please a man in ways her younger
cousin could never dream of.

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 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.

Such is the reason I don't lie about my age. I am looking forward to relishing my last 2 years in my 30's. 40 is going to be Great.

I have had a thing for Racheal for years.....ok Nic..you and me..in Vegas..Ill take ya the best out of 3...and you decide the best of "what"..*giggles*

Licks,
lass

Nicole, it doesn't matter how old you are.  Yours is a timeless beauty, on the inside and out. And the same is true for Lass.  Sedagive.

You and Rooney are the best..!! Sad that it takes some men so long to find out all of this, but I do have my young fans, that have discovered it early on and now the bar is set too high for Girls their own age or younger...My Fantasy Older woman Line is one of the most poular on KEEN. It's nice to hear the kind words, knowing some men can appreciate our unique qualities, that only come with life experience. Kisses, Robyn

A diamond is beautiful, it's age is irrelevent.

Here's a link to some Rachel McLish photos for anyone that isn't familiar.

Hey Nicole, have you ever met Rachel??

but what's wrong with an occasional fling with a 22-year old COCK-tail (sp?) waitress or actually a blonde Scandanavian masseuse?

I have always loved that one, and had emailed it once to my much younger 'bf', who emailed me back and said, that's exactly right and why I love being with an older woman. I'm with NOSC in that I don't disclose my age - it's just a number anyway, but I do enjoy being the age I am very much, and am proud of it. It's a feeling that you have 'arrived'!
NOSC, I'm so thrilled for you about going into competition. I looked into that myself in '94, but then became seriously ill that year. It's really the only 'shoulda-coulda-woulda' I think I have. Give us the details!

Take care,
Sedona

I want to get into the middle of this ladies!

Please!  ***wink***
