ile of the 21st Century Menopausal Woman

by: Valerie Otto

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
