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.
I never knew that
Chuckle!
Pretty much sums it up. It’s always been about the size of your wallet.
A man in his 50s can barely get it up without Viagra. Can’t stand those commercials.
A billion or two can make even a wizened old geezer look cute all of a sudden. You just gotta adjust your looking skills that’s all. LOL!
Someone needs to show him a picture of Elon Musk’s MOTHER...she is a model & in her 70’s. Classy looking lady...and SHE probably wouldn’t have a thing to do with this jerk.
Back on my 20s 30s it used to be so embarrassing to walk down the street lunch time to all the cat calls of the construction workers. How was I to know that I would one day miss it?
When was the last time HE looked in a mirror?
Guy is thinking, "This is the best 50 million I've spent in years!". What the heck, he can't take it with him.
LOL!
SMV is hate speech—and that is why the first rule of fight club is that you don’t talk about fight club. ;-)
Right on about the tats. I have a gorgeous cousin. She is 40 but looks 25. Petite thin size zero. We were at a reception after wake. She takes off her shawl at table has a colored snake tat running up her entire arm. She works in Human Resources!!!!
“You might be surprised. If he’s charming and has money, he will not lack for young female companionship.”
When an old guy marries a young woman, a friend of mine calls it “A nurse and a purse.” LOL!
What woman would want THAT???? Young or old!! YUCK!!
I'm well into my 60's and have never needed medicinal assistance.
Truth. What a revolutionary concept in this PC age of nonsense. I suppose those who disagree with him also condemn Cougars who only like younger men. He likes what he likes. Now I think he should have kept this particular opinion to himself but since that door is open now; who cares what he personally likes.
It sure beats being a pedo, trans, or Gay. At least he's hetero. I lived in a semi-retirement community when I was in my late 40's/early 50's where there were lots of women over 65 but none of them appealed to my discerning eye. I liked younger women. In fact one of the reason I moved was so I didn't have to look at so many old faces. I wanted to live where the population was more balanced in the different age groups even as I too became a senior.
An older woman will still want to strip the man of his assets. He might as well get some enjoyment before that happens.
You must have a pretty full dance card to know all that dear.
To each his own.
My wife is almost 55 and still hot as ever.
Actually hotter...
You must have a pretty full dance card to know all that dear.
That's a funny comeback, but I don't see how gcparent's generalization is any different than yours:
But the average fifty year old woman has a fraction the sex drive of a fifty year old man.
I don't buy into either.
Yes I’m a real slut lol
