What a catch ...

PARIS - A 50-year-old French author is under fire on social media for saying he couldn’t love a woman his own age.
According to USA Today, BBC News and other outlets, Yann Moix made the controversial comments in a recent interview with Marie Claire France.
"I'm telling you the truth," the TV host and "Rompre (Breaking Up)" writer said in French. "At 50 years old, I am incapable of loving a 50-year-old woman."
When asked to explain, he said: "I find that too old. When I'm 60 years old, I'll be able to do it. Then 50 years old will appear young to me."
But for now, women his own age are "invisible" to him, he continued.
“The body of a 25-year-old woman is extraordinary,” he said. “The body of a 50-year-old woman isn't extraordinary at all.”
Outraged women flocked to Twitter to slam Moix, calling his words sexist.
The guy’s an idiot.
He means “Lusting”.
Oldism!
I have the feeling not many 25-year old women are willing to take him up on the deal.
Why because he’s speaking from his heart and taking the truth
I know a lady who, at 62, has an absolutely fantastic body.
So sad he has no understanding that true beauty is what’s INSIDE not outside......Also, He ain’t exactly Brad Pitt either.
"...an older man chasing after a younger woman..."
Au contraire, mon ami. It all depends on the size of the gentleman's wallet.
Yes. 50 year old women don’t suffer from ED.
What a catch ...
Not sure if his comments were wise.
However, I do note that it’s perfectly acceptable to call out older men for being overweight, flabby, aged, etc.
Point out the same about women, and you’re a sexist ageist.
If growing old is so grand, especially for women, why are there multi-billion dollar industries devoted to hiding the results of aging?
Seems to me the guy’s just pointing out reality. Sure, there are exceptions, but, in general, he’s right and the same can be said of men in their 50s vs men in their 20s from a woman’s perspective.
How dare he say something some people find disagreeable.
International frenchie news designed to distract from macroni’s woes?
Agree. Women may be upset, but they can’t be upset with the practical application of Sexual Marketplace Value.
The President of France may think a mommy figure attractive, but for most men 25 beats 50, particularly if they desire to start a family. Female reproductive biology rules and is not subject to political correctness, imo.
Man speaks truth.
The Left is outraged.
Film at eleven.....................
‘Lusting’
Exactly. Substitute his term, ‘love’ with ‘have sex with’ and you will better understand his temporal view.
Anti-Macron, eh?
