As someone (Redd Foxx?) once said - "They don't yell, they don't swell, and they're grateful as **ll".
I value women over 40 because no woman under 40 would pay any attention to me.
Actually, I give the opposite advice to young women...MARRY AN OLDER MAN...They appreciate you more, they know what's important, and if they have daughters, they respect you more.
You're still doing ok. I typically have to wait until they expire completely.
One of my favorite writings by Franklin. Thanks for posting it. Ben had a reputation as a ladies man in his day, if I remember my history correctly. So he was no doubt writing from experience.
"Actually, I think that it's because most of those women, like their like minded male counterparts, are long dead by that time..."
Ha! I'm amazed, CONSTANTLY amazed, at how alive I am -
but you, grasshopper, why are you hanging out in the morgue looking for dates? Go out into the real world or something to meet people over forty. Or, if you want to meet people over forty as cool as me, go out at night and look for the brassy-haired girlsinger wearing black, on stage with a rockabilly band. If you're lucky I'll autograph your bootleg version of me singing blues at the Continental Club in Austin Texas.
Or, you could just let life pass you by...
Hehe. So am I, so am I.

Oh, God, were I truly lucky, then you would be spending time with me...
"Got nothing good to say? Come sit by me."
I LOVE women over 40. I'm 28 btw.
There's a whole world out there! :) And you're going to be constantly amazed at how wonderful it is...
Over forty and all.

Maybe I misunderstood you but I am far from dead and I'm 41.
"seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant."
And at 41, you are still young. 8^)
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Wholeheartedly I agree with your assessment of women over 40. However, I think your attitude towards men is quite degrading and inconsiderate. Your words have only elevated you above the male species, or at least your primitive view of Man. This is a form of inflated arrogance, to degrade men in order to put one’s self or others on a pedestal. It’s a dangerous thing to do, to create a scapegoat, and to forward such a message to the rest of the world. This attitude continues to perpetuate the division between the sexes; it is an attack at the very core of humanity’s souls.
Why can’t women over forty be celebrated without degrading Man?
This attitude saddens me, saddens my soul.
