Somehow I doubt any of the fellow 48 year olds pointing fingers would actually choose a 48 year old with botox and a pixie cut over a line up of 20-somethings if put in Leo's position.

Sure, they might not do it serially as he has, but there's no question that if given the option on a consistent basis that they would indulge for the sake of it

The hypocrites really think we're going to pretend not to know which head thinks louder more often than not

Who exactly do you guys think you’re arguing with? Did you read any posts in this thread? Or is this supposed boogeyman you’re debating all in your mind? Are you responding to random tweets by posting rebuttals on CP?

A rotating door of young models seems like an unhealthy kind of "happy" that seems more like a cycle of short term pleasure seeking, but I can see why some men might be enticed by it

I think the point is people are entitled to what they're into, based on where they are at in life with their priorities and values

There's a good reason that so many celebrities commit suicide and die of overdoses.

As for Leo, I honestly don't see anything wrong with dating younger women. 19-20 year olds, while legal, is pushing it. Many people at that age are pretty immature, but maybe if you've been a fashion model since age 14, you have a different life experience than the average 19-20 year old.

For the record I wasn't implying that dating someone 20 years younger than you could not lead to lasting and fulfilling love.

This all going to depend on life experiences to some degree. Having a couple step daughters who are 20 and 21 who don't really act much older than my 14 and 16 yo boys, makes <25 look pretty icky.

Also, it's one thing to party and hook up with some young women on your yacht. That doesn't usually get too much attention if all is consensual without power dynamics. Actually having a relationship with a 20 year old, and all their emotional immaturity and drama? I get enough of that for the kids we are responsible for, I'm not signing up for that willingly! Plus, if it works out, they'll probably want kids, and that's a pretty hard no to starting that part of my life over again!

Why do you think DiCaprio's relationships are done by the time the girlfriend hits 25? You think he even wants kids, at all?


Breaking up when she hits 25 is "(the relationship) working out" for DiCaprio.

It's pretty hard to come up with a more imbalanced power dynamic than hosting on your yacht.

Defending him wasn't the point of my post.

Sure, it creates the potential for a power dynamic to be abused, but I don't think anyone is accusing him of taking advantage of that to coerce anyone into anything they didn't want to do.

I didn't mean to accuse you of defending him, or anyone... I wasn't sure if your post was specifically referring to Leo, or just a more general example where age disparities seem to occur...

In any case, hosting on a yacht is about as much of an imbalanced power dynamic as it gets, for anyone hahaha

This thread in a nut shell

Also all this power dynamic talk, women are attracted to men in positions of power, if you have any sort of power in society how do you avoid the power dynamic? (besides the fact we all just kind of assume that's what's happening without any knowledge of his relationships)

Do celebrities commit suicide and overdose at a higher rate than the general population? Honest question.

How does a thread about young adult women fan girling and sleeping with much older former pretty boy celebrity last for 4 days?

next weeks debate here, if a man jump in a lake, will he get wet?
