Yann Moix, the French Author who won several novels prizes, won also quite the reputation for being vocally ageist and misoynistic.

During his interview with Marie-Claire magazine’s French edition, the author, who was 50-year-old then, said women in their 50s are “too, too old” for love and “invisible” to him.

“I prefer younger women’s bodies, that’s all. End of. The body of a 25-year-old woman is extraordinary,” he said, as quoted by The Guardian. “The body of a woman of 50 is not extraordinary at all.”

Unabashedly talking about his preferences, Yann Moix even said he prefers dating Asian women, especially Koreans, Chinese and Japanese. “It’s perhaps sad and reductive for the women I go out with but the Asian type is sufficiently rich, large and infinite for me not to be ashamed,” he said.

He managed to make things worse when he gave another interview with The Times and didn’t feel apologetic at all for the remarks he made, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Sharing more callous opinions that can make you feel nauseated, he said, “White western women tire me, they wear me out. They make my hair stand on end. I cannot stand them.”

“I am not criticising their exterior intellectual and professional legitimacy or that of being a mother,” he went on to say. “I am saying that in the intimacy of a relationship they don’t bring me anything. I stopped going out with them a long time ago.”

Needless to say, his comments sparked quite the outrage, after which, he spoke to RTL radio trying to defend himself.

“I don’t see this as pride, but almost as a curse. It’s not my fault. We are not responsible for our tastes, our penchants, our inclinations. I’m not here to hold forth on this,” Yann Moix said.

“Every individual is a prisoner of their tastes. I’m a prisoner of mine,” he called himself.

The poor soul.

Trying to defend himself, Yann Moix later said, “50-year-old women do not see me either! They have something else to do than to get around a neurotic who writes and reads all day long. It’s not easy to be with me,” as quoted by BBC.

After reading about what the author had to say, quite a few women, some in their 50s, said they didn’t mind missing out on being wooed by a “sexist”.
