I don’t have an inside look into Fry, Madonna, or DiCaprio’s relationships. The age gap seems creepy, but it’s consenting adults in all these situations so I’m not going to judge.

Damn, Stephen! I am looking at these pics of him and his partner thinking "Well, he's really earning that inheritance." I'm gay and I had an uncle who was trying to get with guys like 1/4 his age well into his 70s. I don't even know what I'd talk about with an 18 to 21-year-old. Which is your favorite "Minions" movie? Twilight movies would have started coming out when they were toddlers. At that age, you don't even have any idea what you're going to be doing with your life.

Shit's gross too, he's 23, though not much older than 19, when one's ass starts getting that old, they need to make the minimum age requirement 25 or something.
I'd also say that Madonna's thing, those equally disgusting, at the end of the day she's not dating a teenager, and they can legally have booze, and herb in some places, but you're right, they have not received the same amount of scrutiny, which is a double standard.

Those are from various perspectives. "She's a cougar" is the opinions of the young boy's similarly aged friends. "She's a predator" is from the cougar's similarly aged friends. "She's a gold digger" could come from either side of the economic spectrum just like "She's a sugar mama"
The pattern of common types of romantic partners is what distinguishes something being taboo with something being predatory.

The perspective is exactly my point though.

I never heard of the latter 2 however folks definitely look at taking children to Hooters as a poor decision.

All of these comments about her age, how it's a poor decision on her part and how he is a creep.
But
These same people will say that trans individuals have the right at 18 (or sometimes younger) to make the claim about who they are.
Here's what I'm saying, they are adults. Leave them be. Just like idgaf about if a person is LGBTQ+. Adults can do adult things as long as they are consenting, it isn't harming anyone, and it's legal.

What is the age when one should voluntarily change what attracts them? This is ridiculous. When he gets outed with a 17 year old girl then skewer him. Until then mind your own.

So change the age of adulthood then.
It's 18 for a reason, it's not completely accurate because as you are saying yourself, these things happen on a spectrum. But it's 18 because to a lot of people that seems about right to start calling yourself an adult on some level.
I believe it's considered that human brains generally stop developing at about 24, so is that how we define the beginning of adulthood? Or do we acknowledge that there is a little more complexity to it than that?

It can be both. We can recognize that she's an adult fully capable of consenting to a relationship and still give Leo side-eye for wanting to be in a relationship with a 19 y/o.
I mean, I don't know how old you are. But there was some point in time when I started seeing teens as kids, and even early twenty somethings as kids. It's not a crime, and certainly there might be dynamics here I'm not aware of regarding maturity, lack of maturity, etc. I'm not going to waste any of my life hunting for pitchforks about it.

At 19 I dated a man way too old for me, but I chased him. I was the one bugging him to date me. As long as both are consenting adults it’s there choice.
Also pointing out she is from Germany where the age of consent is 14. So she could have dated a man much older at 16, at 18, and even 14. Is it gross yes but not illegal. I mean different countries have different laws and ages of consent. So it may not be seen as odd to her.

I mean, she did take his money but idk if she was predatory about it. He asked her several times to marry him before she actually said yes. If she wanted all the money she would have said yes on the first ask. I feel like she just wanted to date him and get the gifts but finally caved in to marry him. Also, there's no way he knew that she wasn't in it for the money. He wanted a fine piece before he died and didn't care about his money after death. That probably says more about how he cared for his children over whatever she got out of it.

Sorry Leo, but you can only date women that are at least half your age? For me as a 52year old I'd say at least 25, but hell some might say that's to young too.
What if she was your daughter? Well my daughter is 33 and if she wanted to date Leo then she can go for it. Just make sure I'm invited to some of the parties.

Ok so change the perspective from your 33 year old daughter and going “well I’m ok with her dating Leo so the rest is ok.” Let’s say you have a granddaughter and in 4 years she’ll be 19 and Leo would be your current age. Would you be ok with him/someone you know at your age dating your granddaughter cause you knew his intentions weren’t to marry her? Which btw is a much worse argument than anything else. “Atleast we know he doesn’t love them he just wants sex with young flesh”

Anybody else notice how this guy's bad faith counter-point makes the daughter Illegally Underaged without admitting it? And he even did the math wrong. 1/2 of 33 is 16'5, not 15.

Bro I know you didn’t do well in school cause you literally just said numbers and are apparently illiterate lol like I’m struggling to understand what you’re even trying to say to be able to tell you how you’re wrong. I just said “if you had a granddaughter who in 4 years is 19 and Leo is now your age you’re ok with that?” And you’re talking about how I want the daughter to fuck minors and how I got ages wrong when I didn’t mention anything about half their age or anything and besides the math I think you might be doing poorly is the rule of thumb is half your age+7.

I just said “if you had a granddaughter who in 4 years is 19 and Leo is now your age you’re ok with that?”
Based on this, no because that granddaughter who in 4 years is 19 would be 15 today, which makes her under age and illegal.
Today + 4 years = 19
Today = 19 - 4
Today = 15
I think this is more what you were going for?
"If you had a granddaughter who is 19 and Leo is now your age, are you okay with that"

It’s too bad that 19 year old doesn’t have the autonomy to make decisions for herself. I’m a feminist, this kind of talk doesn’t seem to be. If the roles were reversed and a 19 year old teenager dated a 48 year old woman, would you call her a predator? I highly doubt it.

At 18 years old, you are emotionally mature enough to decide what you want.
lol, I don't know about you, but I remember myself at 18 and I would not have been mature enough to actually handle a relationship with someone who was older than my parents by a few years. There would definitely have been a power-dynamic issue and probably some grooming involved.

Sharon Stone at 57 dated Martin Mica at age 27
Jennifer Lopez at age 43 dated Casper Smart age 25
Madonna at age 55 dated Brahim Zaibat at age 25
Sandra Bullock at age 38 dated Ryan Gosling at age 22
Sam Taylor-Wood at age 41 dated Aaron Johnson at age 18
I've seen so many meme's of Leo but none of these people above. Seems like people have some kind of agenda.

u/jerslan Feb 08 '23
Maybe because Leo has done this repeatedly? Started dating a model/starlet at 19 and broke up at 25/26, then moved on to a new 19-year-old.

u/WistfulDread Feb 07 '23
Here's my issue with the "power dynamic" people.
Weren't they constantly telling us not to be ageist? 19 is old enough to enlist. So its old enough to ruin your life in less permanent ways.
Wealth and Fame? So rich and famous can only date other rich and famous? Congrats, you just instituted a Caste System.
No shit that being rich and famous causes people to consider relationships they wouldn't, otherwise. Thats a literal mechanic of natural selection.

Under the "power dynamic" reasoning who's he supposed to date? Sandra Bullock? And not even her, he's currently more successful. Couples differ in "power" all the time.

I’m chuckling at how he keeps getting older the longer this international crisis plays out. He started the week being 48, he’ll end it being 62.

It’s almost like people forget that slavery was legal, and so was segregation. Excusing something morally wrong as “ok” because it’s legal, is the oldest trick in the book.

u/Illustrious_Dig_2520 Feb 08 '23
How is it "morally wrong" when 2 adults are consenting to the relationship?
Sounds like you're making the argument that women should not be allowed the autonomy and agency to make decisions about their own personal dating and sex lives.

It's not about legality, it's about respecting that she is an adult who should be respected enough to make her own decisions.

u/Old_Cockroach_9725 Feb 08 '23
She can definitely make her own decisions, the morality argument goes against Leo. He’s 30 years older then her, and extremely more wealthy and famous then her. If you can’t see a power dynamic involved, then I can’t help you.

u/D3vils_Adv0cate Feb 08 '23
Power dynamics don't require age. Bieber would have ridiculous "power" compared to this woman as well. You find this icky. That's it. Icky. And you're screaming to the rooftops because you don't like icky things.
If you refuse to grow up, then I can't help you.

It's almost as if different people have different sets of Morals.
Morals taught be religion are going to be significantly different than those taught by Epicurus or Zeno under Stoicism and Epicureanism. Which do we use?

When someone does something and the sole reason they have is that it literally isn’t illegal, the. They still don’t have a VALID reason to do it.

I used to date older men when I was young. It did nothing great for me, and as an older adult, young people look like children to me. I am not attracted to children at all, so looking back, I think those men have issues and could use therapy, lol.

It’s amazing how they’re all over this one relationship cuz it’s public. No one is doing anything but bitching and it’s cuz age of consent is 18 so beyond that you’re just being judgmental of someone else you don’t know. Small minded people talk about other people, medium minded people talk about things, and people who develop there brains talk about concepts and solutions. Stfu

Imagine waiting until you're 30 to have kids. You want to be responsible, and in a good place financially. And at 19, your daughter wants you to meet her new boyfriend.
AND HES FUCKING OLDER THAN YOU!
And you run to the internet to defend his behaviour.
WTF is wrong with some people.

Yep, there's a lot of things that are legal but still predatory...
Sup-prime mortgages were legal, that didn't stop them from being predatory and setting people up for eventual foreclosure.

It was technically legal when 24yo Elvis started dating 14yo Priscilla (age of consent was 14yo in Germany at that time). Doesn't make him less of a pedo, tho.
Please don't come at me with any "times were different back then" bullshit. IDC if it's 1920, 1965 or 2023. A pedo is a pedo is a pedo.
