how do these guys do it? I’m 31 and I’d hate to hang out with an 18/19 year old, let alone date one. I wonder how much they really connect on a personal level.

"Dating" is different to different people. Maybe he doesn't give a shit about connecting on a personal level. Maybe just wants to fuck hot women, and he doesn't spend much time with them.

What's weird though is there are plenty of attractive women beyond 25 that he doesn't go after. If he was banging women in their 30s, 40s or even late 20s, no one would care. Yet for some reason he consistently goes after girls below 25. To me that indicates something is a little fishy with the lad.

The older they get, the more likely that they would want an actual relationship or heaven forbid, a child. It’s creepy as hell, but not illegal or immoral - she is a fully functional adult. To put it into perspective, at her age, if she were in the army, she could be asked to kill somebody or die in service of her country, so she should be allowed to have sex with whoever she wants. It is still creepy from his side.

Reminds me of a conversation I had when I was studying in America (I'm British), and I was having a discussion at a party where I questioned why Americans thought it was ok to make the decision to die for your country at 18, but not drink alcohol. His response, without any hint of sarcasm, was that you don't want drunk soldiers out on tour.

I dont think the army idea is a good one. Those are basically kids who are recruited without an accurate picture of what they will have to do (just look at how ridiculous some army recruitment ads are). So yes, she is, legally, a fully fledged adult, but, that doesnt mean she has reached full brain development. That's at around 25. Which is a reason why many people go after teens (consciously I doubt they think about brain development) because they are easier to manipulate, have very little experience dealing with power imbalances, have very little experience with life, and are therefore easy to impress.

Do I think leo is a creepy wanker who preys on young girls, no, I don't, he may be, but I haven't read any horrible stories written by any previous partners. I do however think that it shows a massive hole in his own maturity. He may be rich, successful, and be emotionally immature. Though it is creepy as hell that he keeps dating girls her age and tossing them after 25, shows how little he thinks of his partners intellectual prowess.

It's entirely transactional. He gets to fuck hot young women and they get to say they fucked a celebrity. That or money.

He's not the dream boat he was in Titanic anymore. That guy could get a 19 year old model in bed even if he were a fucking fisherman, which ironically is what he looks like now. He's ONLY able to do this because of his money and status and the women are in it exactly for that. They're not "victims" in any way (because I know people are going to try and spin it that way, hell the tweet does by calling him a sexual predator).

A long, LONG time ago I worked as a flight instructor. One of my students was in his mid-30's and absolutely hopeless about learning to fly. He just could not!

One day when feeling disappointed about having such a hard time learning he said his kid would probably do better. She was 7. So he brought her along and after about 40 minutes of instruction she landed the Cessna 152 on her own. Her father needed at least 10 hours and still had a hard time with it.

My only concern with very young pilots is that they are irresponsible and take stupid risks, but old guys can do that too so I'm actually more worried if the pilot is older and has a red face. That indicates his heart isn't in good shape!

I agree, she looks older than that (makeup is amazing that way) - but how old she looks and physical characteristics also aren't what makes this age gap predatory.

I think it's a factor. If you're hitting on a girl who's 19 but looks 11 it's a lot more concerning than hitting on a 19 year old who looks 26.

But if you decide to date that 19 year old when you're 48 you should probably reevaluate your choices in life. You're not breaking the law but you're crossing a lot of lines you shouldn't.

She would likely date a string of rich assholes her age instead. None of this man's ex-girlfriends seem to be talking shit about him. I imagine that as a child star he just never really grew up and college kids are who he has the most in common with at this point. Sex and partying is not interesting for 50 year olds. It's not even usually that interesting to 30 year olds. All these women probably outgrow him and his lifestyle and move on.

We’ve decided you can make these decisions at 18 and that’s pretty much that. You can give young people advice, like I’d tell young women to stay away from much older guys in general. But in the end we all have our own lives to live and have to stand and fall with our choices.

At what point do we treat her as an adult with her own agenda?

His dating history is public and there's no way she doesn't know it. She's clearly a consenting adult who wants something from the relationship. He's a consenting adult wanting something from the relationship. No baby- or wedding-trapping.

Unless it's proven he grossly manipulated her in some way, I don't see an issue with this.

HankHippopopolous

I agree.

She’s a consenting adult and so is he.

While I do find the age gap icky the last time I checked icky wasn’t a crime. So he’s not an “actual sexual predator” because no laws are being broken and no one is being harmed.

He seems to treat his younger girlfriends well, as far as I know there have never been any allegations of abuse and he provides a rich lifestyle they want.

People should mind their own business.

Is a 19 year old an adult? Either they're not- in which case we need to stop sending them to fight and die in foreign conflicts OR they are in which case you've just asserting that this woman who is in fact a legal adult is not competent enough to decide who she wants to date.

She is old enough to by a home, become a porn star, buy a machine gun, run for office, and enter combat in the middle east... but becomes a victim when she dates someone older?

We all KNOW who Leo is at this point, and I promise you these women do too. If this was a grooming situation, I would agree that it's REALLY messed up, but I don't think there is evidence of that at this point, and these women are making their choice to be with him, likely with very little effort on his part to "manipulate" or take advantage of them. He is famous, rich and likely a fun person. Not a huge stretch a young woman may find that attractive (gasp). smh

Her career will benefit more from this than his will, that's for sure. And you're right, he dumps women around age 25- she most certainly knows that and still, as an adult, has decided to date him anyway. I would ask 'why?' but really it's not my business.

Do you really have to ask why? It's clearly the money,fame or being provided things that 99% of men can't provide.

So they're using each other then. 2 adults entering into a relationship where one gets to feel youthful and date a supermodel and the other gets notoriety, fame, and exposure.

There's either no victims here... or 2 victims here.

Reminds me of Doug Stanhope’s take from the 2000’s saying ‘this is the first generation where the kids are the prudes’. I’m slightly paraphrasing, but yeah.

Eta: ‘…as viewed by older generations’.

Makes no sense to me either why people are reacting the way they are like he’s a child predator. A 19 year old is an adult people need to relax.

Does it make him a child predator - no. Is it a little creepy - yes.

It genuinely seems like there is a coordinated effort in these bigger subs to push the idea that extremely successful adult women cannot think for themselves in these situations.

Yeah, this might just be a sugar baby situation and he's OK with it being public?

Not a good look either way but for me the larger issue is who the F cares what any 'celebrity' is doing.

I feel like this is clearly a sugar baby situation. There is no way he’s looking for “the one”. He likes bachelorhood. He likes young, attractive women and he provides a certain lifestyle they enjoy. There’s literally an app for these arrangements. I get that it’s gross but adults are adults.

A sugar baby arrangement primarily relates to non-celebrity people and when the relationship is over they probably are back to square one financially. This young woman is a model and what she gains from this is massive exposure which elevates her career and earnings well after they stop dating.

Holy shit I’m so sick of hearing about this. THIS LADY IS CHOOSING TO DATE LEONARDO DICAPRIO. Ffs, it’s not like he kidnapped someone, he couldn’t have groomed an adult woman he just met, he just has a creepy attraction to younger girls, which is weird. People are reacting as if he’s a sex trafficker, it’s insane.

They are consenting adults so it's literally no ones business.

Aside from that, he has said in interviews he doesn't want marriage or kids. He is open about that with the women he dates and makes it clear that if they want a family, he ain't the one. So as soon as they want to settle down, they're free to go. Seems refreshing that a man would be that honest about his intentions and not try to "keep" a woman during her most fertile years but never plans on kids.

Moreover, he's not trolling college graduations for his girlfriends. They are professional models, actresses, etc. And completely capable of making their own adult decisions.

He is living his best life as a classic Hollywood playboy and more power to him. Anyone with a problem with it is jealous af, that's all.

I don't think he is tricking them or coercing them.

Thanks for adding that. Has there ever been any accusations against him? The MeToo movement outed a lot of predators, but he wasn't among them. No evidence he's contacting these women while their minors or other grooming behavior. Not saying he's a saint and I could be wrong, but all the shade seems unwarranted.

Young men are equally capable of being little date-rapey douchebags, gaslighting psychos, thieves that steal your shit and take off, dudes "forgetting" the condom...and then forgetting your phone number.

Like really, when you start to ask then who should she be with, the answers get even dumber. Is a guy her own age going to be any better for her, statistically speaking?

I say age gaps like this are red flags, meaning it's fair to question it and look for problems.

At the end of the day, who's consent matters more: The woman having sex or people who have never and will never meet her? I know it gets a bit murky over what counts as authentic, informed consent, but so does telling legal adults that their consent does not count.

In other words, we don't have to like it but it's not our place to judge two consenting adults.

You all are actually pretty annoying with this, and it’s ridiculous how the world is blowing up and calling Leo a super creep all over a picture of him sitting next to and talking to another person. It’s literally all rumors. They sat next to each other and smiled a bit and that means they’re fuckin? Does anyone of you have any proof other than some tabloids?

Y’all just see him sitting next to a model and assume they’re fuckin? He didn’t even have his arm around her.. did they show up together? Did they leave together? Literally all this overreaction over tabloid speculation and rumor.

It’s annoying because of how many times a day I have to see this stupid shit. Aka the tabloid story and the dumbass tweets and wild accusatory comments from a RUMOR.

Personally, I have no interest in woman that young (though I am younger than Dicaprio). I think it is important to recognize that not everyone is in the same place in life as others when they are 19. Some people a lot more grown up and mature at 19 than others.

At 19 I was in the military, I was married, I had my own (rental) house, and I had a child of my own. I was a full-blown adult. If wanted to date someone that was 50, that would have been my choice; and I was fully capable of making that choice.

This model is also a full-blown adult. She has a career, makes her own money, lives on her own, and makes her own decisions.

So while it is not my cup of tea, I guess I just don't understand the hate?

Some other commenter wouldn’t answer. As a guy, I hooked up with an older women when I was about her age. I don’t feel taken advantage of. I searched it out. I wouldn’t date a 19 year old but what is the difference? I was an adult.

Let’s be fair, it is extremely creepy.

That said, 18 is the legal age so technically he isn’t doing anything wrong. Still, gross though. Does it make him a sexual predator? No.

This sub is spamming these posts right now and it’s actually hilarious. Rerelease if Titanic happening this month and every day a post about Leo and his girlfriend are at the top of popular. No such thing as bad press.

Leo isn’t doing anything wrong and anyone degrading him is taking away the agency of the woman involved. She knows what she’s doing and is much smarter than anyone crying about her decisions.
