A blogger flaunts his sex appeal and fails

Wuyue Sanren has just managed to offend a large swath of China's fair sex - not by a single post as much as a casual phrase in the post. He says "old men" like him can easily "get" good-looking women of a much younger age.

Well, he does not use "get", but a much more explicit word.

Wuyue Sanren, which is an online handle or pen name for Yao Bo, is a very influential blogger and social commentator. He used to work for China Daily's website, so we were technically colleagues. But I met him only a few times while he was working for the opinion section of the Chinese language side of the site. He never mentioned his day job to his followers, and the closest thing he came to reveal this part of his identity was the occasional word that his co-workers had a much higher mastery of the English language than he did.
