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 |
