A French writer is being criticised after saying he would be "incapable" of loving a woman aged 50 or above... despite being 50 himself.
Yann Moix told Marie Claire magazine he found women of that age "too old".
"I prefer younger women's bodies, that's all. End of. The body of a 25-year-old woman is extraordinary. The body of a woman of 50 is not extraordinary at all," he said.
The comments have sparked an angry backlash on social media.
Marina Foïs, a French comedian, joked in a tweet that because she is about to turn 49 she only has "one year and 14 days" left to sleep with the author.
One twitter user mocked him, saying women over 50 were likely "breathing a sigh of relief" at his comments.
Another jokily asked: "Can women under 50 be invisible to you as well please?"
Elsewhere, some women over 50 posted images showing off their body confidence in protest.

I wonder what a 25 year old would think of the suggestion of cuddling up to him?
Personally I can't understand emotionally immature men who run around after girls young enough to be their daughter.

And they are idiots too. 
The saddest conversation I ever overheard was back in the UK in a gym changing room. Some men were sat there discussing their mail-order brides, and bemoaning the fact that they didn't think the women actually loved them.
Well what did they expect?

Totally agree with you Dominic, unfortunately most men think with their Dicks rather then their brains.Dominic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 10:15 am And they are idiots too.

I think all men think with their John Thomas. Or at least have two brains. But the smarter men know that a fine wine is better than a bottle of Appletize.
