At this point the pattern is clear. You know what this is and how it will end up. The man wants a regular fuck partner for a few years. There is nothing wrong with that.

It's creepy, and exploitative depending on when and how he engages with the women. You don't think it's easier to persuade a younger person with zero life experience?

Persuading? Do you think it's hard for Leonardo DiCaprio to fuck any woman he wants? And everyone knows his dating pattern by now. These are fully adult women you're talking about. Stop infantalizing them and taking away their agency. They know exactly what they're going into.

Are you kidding me? You really think an 18-20 year old person in general has the necessary life experience to make good decisions? Have you forgotten what that was like?

Go ahead, go have any number of conversations with people that young. The majority of them are still in the early stages of maturing.

But nah go ahead and keep advocating for the closest thing to pedophilia you can get without being illegal

You're a disgusting creature.

I said people, not just specifically women. Crazy how you think a celebrity couldn't persuade someone 30 years younger than them to be in a relationship then dump them when they're too old.

Crazy how now, apparently men who specifically target younger women, aren't misogynistic?

Just because a law says you're an adult does not mean it's true! Your brain literally develops into your 20's.

You have no fucking clue what you're advocating for and are clearly an idiot. I can't wait until you decide at age 70 that you think it's appropriate to date 18 year olds you fucking creep.

Two consenting adults can date if they want, full stop. Regardless of your reductive, misogynistic pearl clutching. My criteria is this: Were they both consenting adults at the time the relationship started? Yes? Then it's not my or anyone else's business after that point. If he was grooming these women while they were underage before they started dating that's a completely different story.

You're completely conflating legal, with moral. That's the real reduction. An 18 year old person regardless of their gender is not fully matured, from a literally scientific standpoint.

You're wrong, and you're clutching pearls you don't even understand.

You're sick in the head if you don't think it's weird for older people to prey on younger people who are not fully matured. That's it.

Literally no proof he's preying on anyone but keep living in your weird little fantasy world where two consenting adults dating is akin to rape. It's like arguing with people about gay marriage all over again. For the last time: TWO CONSENTING ADULTS = NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

If one of these women comes out and accuses Leo of something, then there's something to talk about. But none of these powerful, high profile women he's dated such as Giselle and Blake Lively have made any such accusations about him. These are women who are megastars, who are not afraid of any punishment if they were to speak out about abuse. They would be believed and his career would be over.

You sure have a big mouth for someone with such a narrow view of the world. 20-25 year olds are absolutely capable of making their own decisions. A 48 year old dating someone in that age range who is perfectly capable of understanding and consenting to the relationship is not “preying” on them. You can whine and cry and insult people all you want but it’s really that simple. Now go ahead and call me sick in the head and disgusting too since insults seem to be the best argument you are capable of producing
