Is this predatory or are they consenting adults?


The older I get the more I see the appeal of dating younger. I get it. Whether you're a man or woman, it's nice to deal with someone younger than you because you get to experience someone with less emotional baggage, youthful energy, more optimistic, and of course sexual appeal and stamina.
So is it predatory? Nope not at all if they are two consenting adults.
I don't know if I would go as young as 18/19 but I'm dating someone younger than me and I find it quite refreshing.
I don't get why people get on Leo's case when Madonna and Cher date incredibly younger guys as well. It's weird and backwards tbh.
Both are old enough to know where they're doing. Agree with it or not but they are consenting adults so it's fine
1. The law is clear here it’s not ambiguous
2. When a human fully develops into an adult there is no abuse.
Because he doesn’t have inherent physical advantages or mental advantages
Kids have under developed prefrontal cortexes
There are things they cannot grasp
So taking advantage of a kid is predatory by definition
A 19 year old is NOT a kid
You can find it creepy or disapprove
But it’s not predatory or harmful or needs to be stopped
It’s still consensual between adults
Most kids and teens are able to grasp everything adults can just as well, but they should be protected anyway and there doesn't need to be any singular reason for it. Though in most case it would be physical development needing to be done first.
Predation is an amimal eating another animal, and people need to stop misusing that word.
Otherwise I agree.
Large age gaps cam make couples die decades apart if the older one is in poorer health than the younger one. But people of the same age can also have this issue.
I'm not debating it either since that would be pointless and endless do to the large number of ages that physical maturity can finish at (especially in a mixed ethinicity society where the range is 12-30). If you asked me what the age of consent should be, my response would be: "I have no clue, people tend to be fine in many different states and countries despite having different consent ages, and different ethnicities mature at different rates with different results, so a single number to cover them all would be scientifically impossible".
Yes I would say we're in agreement for that.
That too.
I know girls hate this but the fact is most guys would go for the younger girl if given the opportunity. Most of us don’t….. but his money and fame makes it where he can have whomever he pleases.
Sorry ladies a nice soft fresh 19 year old is almost always better then a well used 50 year old.
I think you're right about this, considering a couple factors: 1) We're single 2) There's enough compatibility between our personalities than overshadows the generation mental gap

I think we can all have our own opinions but, they are literally consenting adults so it is really up to them, I mean like, it is legally their choice they are not breaking any laws.
That said my opinion is that I can’t see this lasting v. long although anything is possible!
I just wonder what they will talk about, she is v. sexy, but how many conversations is that lol.
Consenting adults , I know some states have different laws when it comes to age of consent but if the age of consent is legal for the both of them , and they are both choosing each other and wanting each other , then so be it , if they are both happy together that’s all that matters , Fuck what other people think or say about it , it’s not their life and not their relationship period , you can agree or disagree all you want , it’s not going to change anything.
Personally I've always found the guy SUPER creepy, even when HE was 19. So... whether he's considered predatory in the pic is nothing to me. He's just generally creepy, so this isn't a break away from that.
She's a newly grown woman who is capable of making her own decisions, not a kid who can't think for herself.. She seems to enjoy whatever he is doing for her and he's not holding her hostage.. You can disagree with it, but I think people are just too quick to throw around whatever word they can vilified someone of something they don't like with..
I don't disagree with it. Haven't you learned from my questions, I'm just trying to see what others think? 😂
Oh no I was saying "you" in a general sense, not you in particular.. Lmao..
Ahh gotcha gotcha
I'm gonna be honest... and go against the grain here. Maybe he is not a "predator".
But i have gotten hit on sooo many times by minors... and adults that were 21 and under. I always decline...
Because i know at that age they are not even on my level whatsoever. The only thing they could possibly be good for is sex... and barely that. They are just horny rabbits with milk still on their tongue lol.
I need a man filled with experience and wisdom. No 19 year old boy could satisfy me physically, or mentally.
Which one is the predator? Him for wanting a young, hot chick or her for wanting a lavish lifestyle with a famous movie star?
I don't think it's a case where he groomed a young, naive girl. She's with him of her own free will.
I'd say they are consenting adults and can do what they want.
If women are unable to give consent then they should be classified as some kind of special needs and locked up in padded rooms of mental institutions or something for thier own protection. If they can give consent then they shouldn't be able to give it and later claim they were preyed on. I mean, I do get that people change their minds too but who's fault is it if you honestly believe doing something is the right thing & the person who you did it with didn't lie to you?
In the old days her dad would have kept her from getting with the wrong guy but feminists claimed that was controlling and wrong... they also claimed that even underage girls have a right to have sex whenever/with whoever they please: so today, very few dads actually protect their kids. I disagree with the dads who act like sheep. Just saying.
Anything over 10 years is weird asf but I ain't her parents and don't give a shit generally since I was 19 and not interested in old dudes.. so it is what it is, they are consenting adults even if its kinda gross in my mind.
Of course they are consenting adults.
It is funny how women are strong, empowered, don't need a man, can do anything men can do, women mature faster than men... then so many want to immediately infantize women into these weak little victims who don't have a brain and can't think for themselves. Poor 19 year old ADULT woman. Is too delicate and weak to make her own decision of who to date. He must be a predator.
The guy is hanging on to his youth by his fingernails. Reminds me of this 60 year old dude that used to come into my work dressed like a 20 year old kid, blasting the latest pop bullshit on his truck stereo. That girl wouldn't give him the time of day if he wasn't rich and famous, so I guess they both are using each other. Whatever, who gives a shit.
Two superficial people, let them have each other. I was the door man at a big busy live music bar for a long time and I've seen all sorts of couples come and go. Usually the only reason a young hot girl is with the old washed up guy is because either either he's rich, famous,
or razzle dazzles her with some rockstar bullshit, or is supplying her with drugs, or she's crazy or an easy target for manipulation.
They are consenting adults, maybe the girl is also a golddigger as well, but still it's a consenting relationship.
The only people who call age gap relationships as predatory, are ones who wish they had it too but are cowards hiding behind brainwashed fake morality.
No doubt the women here will say predatory.
They are just two people enjoying each other's company. The embodiment of evil!
Pussy looks good.
And he needs to get on a treadmill.
I can say the same for myself lol
Leonardo is losing his touch. Growing the start of a pot belly there!
@HawkPerception Sad to say, I have seen that same thing happen many times with popular actors over time... Russel Crowe, of Gladiator fame, has turned into a walking BLIMP, and must weigh 300 pounds. Actors of fame forget that their appearance, in many cases, gains them new roles, and Crowe is one example of an actor, that I would not interview or hire for a part in MY film.
Yes. She preying on a vulnerable older man for financial and career reasons.
They are both legally adults. I’m not 100 percent sure but I have a feeling she might just be hanging around him because he’s rich. He’s 30 years older than her. Most women don’t really want a man that much older than them.
It's nobody's business but their's, in my opinion.
@Madgedays Are you talking about the 19 yr old's butt? Or Frumpy?
Adults... Not predatory because she knows exactly what she's doing, she's enjoying the rich life.
I don't see how two consenting adults dating is "predatory". I have to think she's getting at least as much out of the relationship as he is.
she is 19 and he is rich. It is just another transaction.
Is there consenting adults. It is still gross. But if she is going to be a hoe then it may as well be for a rich guy.
@LazerBean spoken like a real woman looking out for another woman "that last sentence really got me right here 💜❤️ tears 🤣😭😭" - may as well a rich guy and it's all two consenting adults in love - 💝😽
@LazerBean I'd agree , again two consenting adults - if she gonna "hoe then it may as well be for a rich guy" - your words and you're 100 percent right to say why not a rich guy, duh duh duh duh duh song 👀👀🥳
@LazerBean I actually would like a woman who takes pride in the word hoe or whore happily - taking control of a word and giving it a merry spin would be my ideal girlfriends way of being modern - doesn't Rose in Titanic say just as much that she'd rather be Jacks whore than the rich guys Hubby? 🌹
While it's legal it's still creepy. Laws should not equal your morals. It's obvious that's a she's still a teen which is not a grown adult yet
And if she's cool with it and is attracted to him, what's the issue? People were getting married much younger than 18 just even 150 years ago
How do you see men like Leonardo Dicaprio and their sex life? ↗
I answered this question awhile ago about Leonardo Dicaprio
I don't believe that, I think they are there to protect people but you have to draw the line when someone's an adult. If 19 is adult by law, then they have same rights as anyone else except drinking alcohol in the USA. I think they should be treated the same as any other adults. They are not children
She has her arm around him, appears to be consensual.
I voted consenting adults. I would also bang her too... looks like more fun than a girl my age with a lifetime of destroyed relationships, emotional damage and baggage.
Well it’s creepy but i m pretty sure she's here for the money and people do crazy stuff for money
She's an adult and she is getting status from being his girlfriend. Even though she will be sacked in 6 years no one can take that status away from her.
A little of both I guess. Some younger might not be as jaded in dating I guess. But some could be groming and possibly with their money.
This is not right, it's disgusting. A girl will regret it after a while. I also loved a man 20 years older than me, then I regretted it. Grown men act like children.
Predatory of the girl going after a movie star. She knows what she's doing. She would never go for a guy like that if he weren't rich and famous.
Impossible to say without knowing more of the circumstances. Also we don't know how he is treating her.
Nothing wrong with it , I have done exactly same at his age , no big deal at all.
She is over 18 but is quite young, it’s just to have fun since she is too young to be a serious relationship. Looks like he has a dad bod now too but he is big celebrity
He looks at max 25, it's unbelievable that dicaprio is 49 😄
If that guy looks 25 then I wonder what a 45 year old looks like in your eyes 😂
Surely a lot older than this dad bod leonardo titanic dicarprio 🤣
Are you saying she is the predator going after him because he is rich?
I would never she's like a kid but you know money power fame and gold digging attention sluts are a match made in heaven
She's actually technically an adult and people got married at much younger ages just 150 years ago. This generation (In America) is the only generation to have such high ages of consent and it's not worldwide.
And currently the most common ages of consent worldwide are between 14 and 16 years old.
yeah she is an adult, and in some areas 16 is the age of consent so nothing wrong with that either
so we really can't judge pedophilia then as long as its consensual after all its just a sexual preference regardless of how deviant
if your going to make mistakes in life you better have the strength to deal with the outcome of them
Forget predatory. It's painful with that DADbod
A bit weird and gross but not preditary
Why is it weird and gross if they're both okay with it? Isn't it just weird and gross to you?
I don't care about others' romantic relationships.
The law is the law. 'consenting adults
@HawkPerception is that a digital camera in blue he's holding or a really old phone 🤳🏻📱? I'm so confused
Both are adults and neither are cannibals.
Not my thing, but also not my business.
She’s of age. Not illegal
Both
Can't it be both?
