PARIS - A 50-year-old French author is under fire on social media for saying he couldnt 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.
Who wouldn’t want to have the body of a 25 year old again. There was a twilight zone episode about that. TY I will keep my mind and experiences. If i follow my family I have another 25 years left. I’m glad I am old. Child of 50s and 60s. Grew up with faith, family, patriotism,respect.
So sad to watch my beloved country go down the drain.
I know one too, I hope she's not the same one you know.
Yeah well, you know the rules :) TTIUWIOP
He has a right to his own preferences just as anyone else does. If he doesn’t like old lesbians then that’s his business.
For me its my personal experience and observing my peer group.
Im under no doubt whatsoever that womens sex drives collapse at a certain age whereas mens remain relatively steady.
If your wife is unique like you than youre lucky buddy and the exception which is why I generalized
I dont know one man over fifty who claims he and his wife are on the same network sex drive wise unless shes much younger
Im sixty one and have been married twice and have five children
I had major experimental heart work in Chicago last April which besides keeping me alive did wonders for my pipe resiliency but I sure have nothing against ED drugs except they are crazy expensive but alas sildenafil now truly is made generic in 20mg according to my pharmacist friend
Speaking of which why would horny women complain of ED meds.....it bears a question to my mind
Ive found when women instinctively desire a child with you that it drives their horny meter off the charts
Then after that is sated it ebbs a bit but still burns hot
The real killer is menopause....I am a big believer in HRT....cannot overemphasize it
Its not complicated nor new in history we just live too long now
The irony is the real time women love and want you purely physically or emotionally is teens and maybe up to late 20s
Then it all becomes practical considerations
They need a drug to enhance the female libido after a certain age
And before you go ad hominem about my attention to my partner let me prewarn you that you dont know what what youre speaking of
Even Uber O gals change drive wise....now that is truly sad
Its one thing for a mandal wearing bobbed haircut no makeup green toe nails friar tuck looking old lady to go asexual
Its a whole nother thing when a hot fifty year old lady just quits caring
It took me a long time to wonder why men I knew cheated.....it wasnt young stuff
They wanted someone to be nice to them
My mom used to harp on taking care of your man...I know thats old fashioned now
Women today wouldn’t even consider sexual responsibility to their man...
Mine does actually
And i assume so does yours
...you dont know what what youre speaking of...
We are in the same boat, then.
If you think men and women after age fifty maintain similar sex drives
Then you’re prone to believing things as you wish they are versus reality
I dont know a thing about you
You could be a splittail running a male nick
Who knows
Im me I dont hide
My homepage is replete with me wife family dogs horses kids etc
You could be pretending
Not worth further argument
But I stand by my assertion and I bet honest polling would back me up
25 yro women have to realize that so many men HAVE to use viagra just to get their little members to work so don’t expect to get a 25 yro guy’s enthusiasm.....sorry, just the facts...
Not worth further argument.
Were we having an argument?
Well, size does matter, I am told!
Who?
However when it is YOUR 50 year old guy, different thing entirely. You see him as the guy who stood beside you through thick and thin. The one who held your hair when morning sickness was making you throw up your toe nails.
The one that you kissed when he returned from deployment.
When you have built a life together you don't see the body so much as you see the soul.
Maybe he should find someone to build a life with.
Or he can keep chasing young girls who will only have sex with him for personal gain. And laugh at the pathetic old geezer.
His choice.
I think you are right, but regardless, if he has no interest in anything romantic with women his own age he may be destined to be a lonely old man. I say that as somebody in the same circumstance who has no interest in women in their mid-fifties or forties for that matter.
True, but if he’s not interested in some fifty year old why should he waste their time. Would you want to be going out with somebody who found you repulsive romantically?
The guy is pointing out reality, a sad reality.
Proof the the French mated with small, large-eyed primates.
