We at 。 Mashable 。 beg to differ and see plenty of reasons why one would date one of the coolest people in the world. 。
1. She had one of the most successful careers of all time 。
White has had one of the longest and most successful careers in Hollywood, and that's no exaggeration. In 2013, Guinness World Records recognized that she had the longest television career of any female entertainer.。
Her career began in the 1940s when she worked in radio, and she later took her charm to television and films. 。

2. Pranking 。 White has been cherished as one of America's funniest women. In 2012, she produced and starred in a show all about senior citizens pranking kids. For two years, the world enjoyed 。Betty White's Off Their Rockers 。

For example, a prank in Season 1 involved pouring out a late spouse's ashes.。 3. Loving animals and advocating for their rights。On and off the television screen, she's dedicated her life to animal rights activism.

"Both my mother and father were tremendous animal lovers," White told 。
Smithsonian Magazine 。
in 2012. "They imbued in me the fact that, to me, there isn’t an animal on the planet that I don’t find fascinating and want to learn more about." 。
4. Stays up because there's so much 'good stuff' to do 。
Despite having done so much already and reaching her 90s, White hasn't taken a break. While some of us may want to stay in bed in the morning, White explained why she doesn't sleep in during an interview with Piers Morgan in 2012. 。
"I'm told you get up at 6:00 in the morning. You have your wonderful dog that you live with. And you tend to your dog. Then you basically work all day long and you don't get to bed sometimes until 1:30 in the morning. Then you just carry on," Morgan said. 。

"Well, I don't know why. I don't seem to require a lot of sleep. I just -- if I get four, five good hours, I'm fine. But sleeping is sort of dull. There's a lot of other good stuff that you can do without just lying down and closing your eyes," White said. 。
5. Always looks her best 。
Looks aren't everything and don't have to be everything for Betty, but can we just celebrate how wonderful and beautiful she looks in all moments?

She's not afraid to speak her mind -- about anything, really. In every interview, she's full of jokes and charm. 。
When asked about her healthy lifestyle by the 。
New York Times 。
in 2012, White said, “I’m a health nut. My favorite food is hot dogs with French fries. And my exercise: I have a two-story house and a very bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs.”

As to one of her favorite topics? As to one of her favorite topics? Men are "kind of a hobby of mine. But the men don’t know it," White told Roker Thursday.。So we can imagine she won't be shy telling us where she'd like to go and what she'd like to do on a date. 。
7. She's a great game partner 。
If you're looking for fun ways to pass the time in groups, White may be your best bet for a partner on a game show. 。 She starred in (and her late husband, Allen Ludden, hosted) the original game show,
