French author, 50, says he's incapable of loving a woman of 50

xi5yvm0owc1s2b · 09-01-2019 11:06am

Angeline Ball (Imelda Quirke) turns 50 this year. I'd say a good few men would still watch her coming down a ladder.

Hands up who's heard of him now?

I'd say Monsiour Moix is feeling very pleased with his day's work.

Precisely. Being an author, it implies he has intelligence. Being 50, it implies he has experience. He knows what he is doing, knows the reaction it will elicit. So his agent must be getting harangued now for gigs and interviews. At a price. Job done.

He was already famous in France as an author and hosts a TV show. From his response I don't think that he gives two fooks.

Exactly, theres a meme that gets passed around Facebook regularly with various celebs, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez etc who have toyboys. Gives their ages and the ages of their toyboys with the strapline of something like 'don't worry if you are 30 and single, maybe the one for you just hasn't been born yet.'

I've yet to see anyone get outraged about it.

He was looking for a reaction and knew it’d be easy to get... and it was.

Are knee-jerkers just incapable of calming the fook down?

And he can like what he likes. Now, I do hope he doesn’t dismiss anyone over 25. But if he does - oh well. It should be no skin off anyone else’s nose. What difference does it make if some dude you know doesn’t fancy you on account of your age? We all get our time in the sun. We all get our peak years. And then they pass. Happens to everyone. The people reacting outraged towards him on Twitter and wherever would do well to remember that it’s important for everyone to cultivate many interests in life so that your looks aren’t of disproportionate importance to you.

I think I’d be alarmed and confused if I was getting the same amount of men attention at 50 as I got at 25. Some of us women welcome things calming down in that regard.

Eh, honestly, he might get a bit of interest from 20-somethings but I don’t think he’d be inundated. From my own experiences, for the most part, 50-something men wouldn’t be on the radar of 20-something women. Just generally.

Older guys who like younger women are usually referred to as dirty old men, whereas women who like younger guys are referred to as cougars. Hell, they even had a TV show called Cougar Town. It's just not socially acceptable for men to say they prefer young women as it is for women to say they like young men and yes the latter is celebrated.

Here's the kind of thing I'm talking about:

https://theweek.com/articles/502298/why-candace-bushnell-prefers-younger-men

Meanwhile in the real world, older man/younger woman relationships are far more common than the other way round. It’s not even close. Not socially acceptable? It very much is, whereas I’ve witnessed eyebrows raised about relationships where the female is only five years older. Do you think there’d be any reaction at all to a man in a relationship being five years older? Seriously? And once the woman is ten years or more older, the commentary really starts.

Shows like ‘Cougar Town’ tried to push this older woman/younger man notion as commonplace but it wasn’t remotely convincing.

I’d have to disagree. It would certainly turn the odd 20-something head but I don’t think it would make as big a difference as you think.

The numbers of 20-somethings pairing up with 50-somethings would be outliers. When I was in my 20s, 50 something men, even moneybags 50-something men, were not on my radar. If asked to consider a man of that age in my 20s, my first thought would be about his health. People of any age can get seriously ill but it gets much much more likely the older you get. It would have been a huge part of the equation for me.

He doesn't like women apart from an idealised notion of a subservient, uneducated girl (again, so many reminders of the hardline side of a religion he constantly criticises) and is revelling in this opportunity to go on a wind-up.

I agree but she wouldn't be looked on as being creepy and should an older woman say publicly (on a chat show for example) that she liked young guys as they can 'keep up with her' they'd very likely get whooped and cheered and articles would be written about how empowering her comments were.

An older guy similarly saying he likes younger girls just wouldn't be met with the same kind of response and he'd most likely get ridiculed in the following days, as has happened here.

For everyone "whooping and cheering" her, there'd be far more people calling her a sad, desperate "cougar" and you know it. That there's even a term for women who get with younger men is telling, I'm not aware of an equivalent for men. Sugar Daddy doesn't count as that denotes wealth.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said on this thread but most people don't give a crap about the sexual preferences of this man. What people do object to is the women bashing that these threads inevitably descend into. All "Post wall" women were once 25 and experienced the unwanted attentions of men like Yann Moix, believe me when I say none of us are mourning the loss of the attention of his kind

It's pure comedy and transparent as a smack in the face with a wet fish.

Comedic interlude

Meanwhile lads will continue to be attracted to women far younger than them and the vast majority of younger women will continue to cringe and rebuff their advances unless they're very rich, famous or an anomaly of a man they fancied despite their older age; and the rest of us will inevitably age (that's if we're lucky) and couple up with people in our peer groups because that's how the world works.

But yet, in everyday life, in age gap relationships, the older person is much more likely to be a man. It’s much more socially acceptable in reality than the other way round. So what happens on these crappy talk shows doesn’t seem to matter much to the actual reality of the situation on the ground. For the most part, people expect heterosexual couples to be roughly the same age or the man to be older. When the woman is older, comments are made much more frequently than in the opposite scenario. And she doesn’t even have to be that much older for it to happen. If she’s a good bit older, I’ve heard comments like “When she hits X age, he’ll be gone.” and “How could he fancy a woman that age?”.

How is it a trite point when the very people moaning about this guy stating his preference would have no problem whatsoever were it someone of the opposite gender making the same sort of comments?

Well, you don’t actually know if people would have a problem with it or not. You put far too much stock in awful panel shows of the ilk of Loose Women, where the number 1 criterion for the job is being a brassy, gobby loudmouth. They’re crappy daytime TV shows that nobody cares about and people throw an eye at in hospital waiting rooms.

Well, he appears to me to be just another old man who has a problem with getting older himself ('try to stay and appear young by taking a much younger partner'). Maybe he might look at himself in a mirror and ask himself whether the 25 year old woman finds hims that attractive that she would rather let go of a man of her own age?

There is more to love than just sex, but this man seems to have missed out some of the more important things in life.

Such delusional thinking, not many people can pull off such a manoeuvre no matter how feminists try to sugar coat it.

There's a lot of talk about egg freezing etc. which is completely irrelevant to the irrefutable evidence at hand, and that is that a woman's prime years are her early to mid-20s. That is basic biological and scientific fact, and no amount of feminist cheerleading is going to change that.

Life is not one big episode of Sex and the City. Sadly many women have been duped by feminists into thinking that this is the case, but unfortunately it doesn't work out like this in real life.

Choose Mammon over Motherhood and there are consequences. We all have to make difficult life choices, nobody can have their cake and eat it too.

I'm thinking that there are many women 35+ who made this mistake and now that it's too late, are depressed and lonely over the decisions they once made.

After all, a husband and children will appreciate your motherhood and contribuions to the family house. A cat couldn't care less if you are a high flying city accountant.

It’s a minority. Not a tiny minority but not a sizeable one either. I’ve met women in my life who are open about wanting a rich man. They do exist. But they are still a minority.

Tbh, that sugar daddy website doesn’t seem feature many people looking for a real relationship. And, it being a sugar daddy website, naturally the women who interact with the site are going to be women who want a rich man. That’s kind of the main sorting criterion for the site. It doesn’t tell us much about women at large.

The reaction to it seems very stereotypically French as well. Man says he doesn't want to **** any women over 50, women over 50 show how fcukable they are. Correct response is "**** off fatty".

Harsh and hypocritical. Just because a girl doesn't fit the narrow definition of what men consider "hot" doesn't mean she should be overlooked from the day she reaches the age of consent.

As a teen I was considered unattractive (puppy fat, mousy hair, spots etc.) and boys were brutal to me. Brutal. At school they used to hawk up phlegm and spit at me when I walked past. I also had large breasts and they used to try to grab them.

Around 16/17 I went on a diet and lost the puppy fat. My skin cleared up. I took up cycling and running. I got a better hairstyle. I started getting a very different kind of attention. Boys stopped spitting when I walked past but they still tried to grab my breasts.

Thus from a young age I was aware of how shallow some boys and men were and how hung up they were on appearance. Many men who are bitter about being overlooked by girls in their teens and 20s did just that with girls like me. At least women didn't hawk up phlegm and spit in their faces when they were rejecting them.

I got an average amount of attention from my 20s to my mid-40s then I moved from the city to a remote rural location.

I suppose I am now officially "invisible" and that suits me just fine. I am caught up in family responsibilities and I have my mind on more serious things than staying attractive to men. However I do take care of my health and fitness as much as time permits because I need to be strong to take care of my responsibilities.

I don't care what Monsieur Noix (sorry Moix) thinks of women in their late 40s or over 50. He is first and foremost trying to sell a book. He wants attention and so far he has got it in spades. The poor man looks like the obstetrician damaged his forehead with a forceps at delivery and is well aware that young women would not look at him if had an ordinary job. He is famous and wealthy and thus has no problem attracting the young Asian girls he likes.

In some Asian countries it is not as frowned upon to be a gold digger as it is in the West. Perhaps these girls are investing in their future for a time they will no longer be as attractive to wealthy men such as Monsieur Moix. Some use the money they get from these men to support their families. Also a man with an average income in the West can be considered a very rich man in certain Asian countries.

Absolutely nothing. Although there was a lot more to the post in question.

Now. How come you've been incapable of posting your preference without throwing in insults and coming across as someone who really does not like women apart from your ideal of a subservient maid who doesn't know about anything?

Generally speaking, no. But it certainly helps to be famous, have money, or have an aura of literary or intellectual sophistication. Young women frequently have crushes on their professors, for instance -- men who are often 20+ years older than them. When novelist Cormac McCarthy was 64, he married a 32-year-old. So it does happen.

His narrow world view of women is obviously far more deep-seated and he's not going to see reason from a thread on Boards

Its worth noting that secure and confident men (the type of man he can only dream of being) don't tend to spend their time on Boards.ie running down women and posting stuff that's meant to be inflammatory (but is actually transparent AF)
