The Geography Of A Woman: Between the ages of 15 and 18, a woman is like China or Iran. Developing at a sizzling rate with a lot of potential, but as yet still not free or open. Between the ages of 18 and 21, a woman is like Africa or Australia. She is half discovered, half wild and naturally beautiful, with bushland around the fertile deltas. Between the ages of 21 and 30, a woman is like America or Japan. Completely discovered, very well developed and open to trade, especially with countries with cash or cars. Between the ages of 30 and 35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of its own beauty. Between the ages of 35 and 40, a woman is like France or Argentina. She may have been half destroyed during the war, but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit. Between the ages of 40 and 50, she is like Yugoslavia or Iraq. She lost the war and is haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary. Between the ages of 50 and 60, she is like Russia or Canada. Very wide, quiet and the borders are practically unpatrolled, but the frigid climate keeps people away. Between the ages of 60 and 70, a woman is like England or Mongolia. With a glorious and all-conquering past, but, alas, no future. After 70, a woman is like Albania or Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.
