A popular French author, who just so happens to be 50 years old, recently told a magazine he would never get romantically involved with anyone his age or older. “That’s not possible … too, too old,” Yann Moix said during his interview with the French edition of Marie-Claire, adding that such women are “invisible” to him and he would be “incapable” of loving one. “I prefer younger women’s bodies, that’s all. End of,” he concluded. “The body of a 25-year-old woman is extraordinary. The body of a woman of 50 is not extraordinary at all.” Moix, who is also the host of a popular TV talk show, has won several literary prizes and directed three films, the Guardian reports. His comments, not surprisingly, sparked quite an uproar, with many calling him out on social media for both ageism and sexism.
“Hey # YannMoix can women under 50 également be invisible to you as well please. Signed all women of all ages everywhere,” reads one sample tweet. Others pointed out his apparent hypocrisy: “Yann Moix, does it happen to you that a 50 year old woman might prefer a younger man’s body too? As a 50 year old man, is your body ‘extraordinary?’ l doubt it,” pondered one. Moix was also drawing backlash for his comments during the interview that he prefers dating “Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese,” the BBC reports.
Why is it okay for some dude to say he likes dudes, but it’s not okay for some dude to say he likes young Asians?
Well, whew! That’s one man I don’t have to turn away! I get so tired of them beating on my door!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m still being potty-trained. Probably too young. And maybe not yung enough, either.
Is it wise to publicly utter all truisms? In such a hyper public forum. What ever happened to silence, a wink
and a nod?
It’s France. They’re mostly outraged that he’s not queer.
who the hell does this guy think he is? …. Robert DeNiro?
(yes, I know DeNiro likes ‘women of color, but same principle … ok for some, not others)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes, beauty is skin deep, but older ladies have greater experience, intellect and thicker skin.
I don’t begrudge Moix his preference for younger asian women, to each his own.
I feel his pain.
I have yellow fever too.
Who cares? I get so tired of the need to tell all, like it matters, and then the pig piling of social media.
There was a time, not too long ago (maybe about 10 years or so), when teens would holler “TMI”. For once there was wisdom from teens.
🎶Thank heaven for little….undistinguishable mumbling.
Leave it that way froggy boy. Don’t make me go all Don Rickles on you, dummy. Shut up.
This is news?
50 year old women don’t fuck much
If it weren’t for flaky feminist first wives, we so-called ‘trophy wives’ wouldn’t exist. She dumped him, he raised their kids, and then he spotted my 20-something self and we’ve been living happily ever after for 30 years since. Best fringe benefits: I fast-forward to grandkids AND don’t even worry about aging because I’ll always look younger than him! I’m glad my husband was open minded and could see past my youthful appearance and realize I would be a good and loyal life partner. Why can’t those liberals stay out of our personal life?
They’re up against something like 2+ million years of basic biology… Women above 45 don’t reproduce much at all, and are therefore selected against.
This is why I never give magazine, newspaper, or TV interviews. Somebody’s always gonna get pissed off, no matter what you say.
Man: I like young women.
Leftists: You sexist chauvinist pig
Man: I like young virile men.
Leftists: Isn’t he wonderful and open-minded?
I’m 62. I bench 405, I squat 425 (on a good day). I do bent over rows with 315. Most people think I’m in my 40’s. My wifes in pretty good shape too. And I have no desire to poke a 25 year old. I’m good.
So France has a reputation for ‘mistresses” of older, rich guys. This part of their culture has been tolerated damn near forever. And NOW people are surprised when an older Frenchman says he prefers young women ?? Damn, give me a fookin break.
I’m several million dollars short from being able to date 25-45 year olds….
Pfffft, I couldn’t care less who he’s attracted to, but I can only imagine what a deeply profound conversationalist he must be.
Aside from “hold the mayo”, I can’t recall the last time I had a meaningful convo with anyone under 30.
@Bad_Brad
You lie!!!!
I looked him up. Ewww. He looks like he needs a long scalding shower and a shave. I could almost smell the booze and body odor coming off his picture.
