Leisureville....What is with this guy?

After having read the book I have many observations and one overwhelming question, what is Andrew Blechman's problem?

The premise of this book, one that he repeatedly bends facts to prove is that we are an age segregated society and that he considers that to be a bad thing. He spends a lot of time dishing up the dirt on the sexual escapades of a handful of people that he spent some time with. What is with his obsession with sex, perhaps it's because sex sells. Mr. Blechman joined several clubs and then proceeded to trash their activities. What I'm not getting here, if The Villages is so age segregated then how did he manage to attend so many activities when he is clearly under 55? HUH? What does it say about this allegedly closed off society that the allowed him to spend time at their clubs, entertained him and in the case of the infamous Mr. Midnight actually invited him to spend the night?

Mr. Blechman is the author of "Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird". I'm thinking that sex in The Villages is going to be a bigger seller.
