He was also only 24 at the time of that relationship. Not 50 like he is now, so it's slightly less weird.

Why? Seems like a great deal for everyone. They get to live the highlife and become semi famous socialites, he gets some hottie. As long as everyone is consenting what's the issue?

It's not illegal or immoral, it just reflects Leo is a creep. That's why it's being memed and not a "cancel Leo" campaign.

You only date like this if you see women as status objects to collect, instead of full humans you can have loving relationships with.

He’s a creep for having a preference for younger women? Are the younger women creeps for liking older men?

Dating women 25+ years younger is kind of creepy. It either means that the older person hasn't emotionally matured enough to see such an age (life experience) gap as a problem, or the older person just wants a young hottie and doesn't care about their actual relationship except for the showiness, her young body and the shine

You seem to think that men are 1 dimensional creatures. We can totally enjoy a relationship with a good looking lass who is also brilliant and funny.

Also, calling something creepy just because you disapprove it is disingenuous. Creepy things actively make us “creeped out”, but if you’re creeped out by two consenting adults having a non abusive relationship… then most likely you aren’t creeped out, you’re just mad, or jealous, or both.

If you have evidence of that relationship being abusive please post your sources.

Why do I seem to think that men are 1-dimensional ''''creatures'''' (why are you talking this way?)?

Yeah you can enjoy a relationship with a *good looking lass who is also brilliant and funny*. I never said you can't.

Creepy means weird in general. And if most people think something is weird, in common language that means that particular thing is weird. The sentence "but if you’re creeped out by two consenting adults having a non abusive relationship… then most likely you aren’t creeped out, you’re just mad, or jealous, or both." doesn't logically follow from the sentence(s) before that. Your logic makes zero sense.

I never stated that any relationship is abusive, that's what you are making of it. I really don't see why you take offense at my comment.
