Leonardo DiCaprio (49) and his girlfriend (19)

Simslover92 · Accepted Answer

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

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.

ShellyB · Answer

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.

Finchie40 · Answer

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.

DishLady · Answer

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.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

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..

7Phoenix7 · Answer

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.

Lliam · Answer

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.

hahahmm · Answer

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?

PeachyPie93 · Answer

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.

Miristheiss · Answer

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.

Staximus · Answer

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.

katiesmuff · Answer

They are consenting adults, maybe the girl is also a golddigger as well, but still it's a consenting relationship.

QuestionObsession · Answer

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.

Levin · Answer

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.

Bricealan · Answer

Leonardo is losing his touch. Growing the start of a pot belly there!

Gwendoline · Answer

Yes. She preying on a vulnerable older man for financial and career reasons.

sdjaks · Answer

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.

Douglas1180 · Answer

It's nobody's business but their's, in my opinion.

Madgedays · Answer

Adults... Not predatory because she knows exactly what she's doing, she's enjoying the rich life.

backdoorman · Answer

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.

exitseven · Answer

she is 19 and he is rich. It is just another transaction.

LazerBean · Answer

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.

Apple1996 · Answer

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

Jennz6 · Answer

She has her arm around him, appears to be consensual.

14gurlz2gagonit · Answer

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.

alice55 · Answer

Well it’s creepy but i m pretty sure she's here for the money and people do crazy stuff for money

RavVid · Answer

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.

Pandora00 · Answer

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.

red-lipstick-girl · Answer

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.

jeremy_09 · Answer

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.

slatyb · Answer

Impossible to say without knowing more of the circumstances. Also we don't know how he is treating her.

molonski2 · Answer

Nothing wrong with it , I have done exactly same at his age , no big deal at all.

Likes2drive · Answer

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

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

He looks at max 25, it's unbelievable that dicaprio is 49 😄

David318578 · Answer
