DOES
DOES NOT
Look her age
Look old
Care about her appearance
Look in the mirror every 5 minutes
Have a career
Care if her boss is 10 years younger
Pay attention to world affairs
Correlate world affairs to mean “winter pink” is the “new black”
Make sure she gets exercise
Feel compelled to participate in extreme sports
Eat well
Obsess about a cookie
Go dancing
Go dancing with another woman’s husband
Want to travel the world
Have to hitchhike to get there
Find time to herself
Feel selfish about it
Get hot flashes
Care if she strips in public
Research her health care options
Believe she knows more than her doctor
Take herbal remedies
Believe they cure diseases
Read Labels
Believe everything she reads
Offer her years of wisdom
Think she knows it all
Care what company gets her dollar
Spend too much money foolishly
Enjoy her wine and cocktail
Party like she did at 28
Want to have sex
Perform acrobatics
Like to hear how pretty she looks
Need to hear it all the time
Look forward to this time of life
Believe she’s past her prime
Reads these charts
Takes them with a grain of salt
