A French writer is being criticised and ridiculed 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." The comments have sparked an angry backlash on social media. When it comes to dating do you set age limits? Or is it more about whether you get on with someone? Vinny got the views of commentators Angela Epstein and Emma Woolf.
