Sounds like those people got nothing going on in their lives and want to feel like they're actively doing something useful by going on some fake moral high ground and dictating your dating preference instead of letting you 2 live your lives

As a 42yr old with a 25yr old girlfriend, I agree with whomever said a lot of the time people just wanna dictate who a man can date because Ive been getting a lot of hate from co-workers as of recently over the situation.

Not to my face, but Ive heard some of the things people say from other friends within the workplace and from her the things people have been saying to her.

One of our higher ups was meeting with her speaking about a deal and within that conversation got to asking her about us and telling her there are a lot of fish in the sea and she shouldnt necessarily stop fishing. All I could do was laugh, but thats clearly a shot at me.

There are a lot of people murmuring how creepy or weird it is and how it must be money related where either Im paying or shes a gold digger, etc.

Meanwhile were just two people who have known each other for a couple of years now (been dating 4 months). We started by just hanging out in groups and then progressed to occasionally doing some one on one hangouts, but nothing serious. Stuff like walking our dogs and just chit chatting.

People even had problems with that as there used to be little comments made. That was over a year ago though. She eventually started seeing someone and so we kinda stopped talking. Still friendly at work and texts here & there, but nothing beyond that. Then about 6 months ago she got very ill and was doing very little to help herself so I dropped her off some medicine and other little things and left it at her doorstep which she was very appreciative for.

A couple weeks after that she knew I was out somewhere and so she showed up and we hung out a little. From there it just snowballed into planning to hang out and so we have been ever since then. About 2 months into that we made it official and thats when talk around work got really going. Almost all of that talk being centered around me and how I must have a problem or this or that. I assume mostly because shes very good looking and so why would a gorgeous 25yr old want to get involved with an average 42yr old?

I do feel its jealousy and stuff because there was another woman who admitted to thinking I was attractive and she was also only in her 20s (although a tad older at 27 as opposed to 25), but she wasnt the prettiest woman around. I dont mean any disrespect to her as she was very nice (she took a promotion and moved locations) and she was always pleasant, but she was a bigger girl and she had some acne problems. People were encouraging me to take her out back when she let her feelings be known. So I often wonder why was that something people thought I should push for and now theyre so against the relationship I am in?

society can be very anti-man.

ever been in a bar and you like some girl and she likes you too but her friends c*** block you? Happens all the time.

I have seen countless times girls tell their friend that they could do better than the guy theyre currently dating if they guy is too short, too old, too fat, not good looking enough, or if he earns less than her, or even shit as ridiculous as him not being as popular as her or being of the wrong race (I can guarantee you that most girls that have gotten serious with a minority guy have at some point gotten the cryptic he is not for you or you could do better speech that doesnt exactly spell what they mean.

then there is the typical loser who tells a girl you should be with a real man like me or something like that

When did this infantiling of woman start? Seems fairly recent and I have no idea why. All of a sudden even woman in their mid 20s are believed can be taken advantage of by older men.

And all this BS about the brain not fully developing until 30 also crept up to support it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


the argument keeps shifting, IMO. Now its the pattern.

Does he actually break up with them at the exact same age? Or are we imposing an arbitrary range on him? Like he always breaks up with them before 90 years old? 90..80 45 25 we can adjust the arbitrary range forever to keep criticizing him, right?

I also doubt he consulted with a neurobiologist and asked him hey doc, what is the year when womens brains fully develop? I got to know when to dump them.

he may be an asshole. He may be upgrading women like car models right before they are out of their prime, looks-wise, or maybe he is a very immature guy and he gets bored easily and wants the next new thing. We dont know. I doubt he is doing it out of some pseudo-predatory intent, after all the balance of power argument is bullshit, a 23 year old supermodel has more power than any of us will ever have, and most women on earth, aged 18 to 98 will always have less power than him since he is freakin Leonardo DiCaprio, its not like the power in the relationship would undergo a tectonic shift if he dumped them at 29, 32 or 49.

heck, if he began dating them at 21 and stayed with them until 40 or so he would still probably get a he is a pseudo-groomer/ quasi-groomer, he gets them young first criticism.

people are just jealous of him

His 'pattern' isn't exactly a secret and these woman know full well it's inevitable conclusion. So at some point you'd think people would stop harping on dicaprio for his preferences and more so the woman for continuing to give him their time of day.

But most generally don't because they aren't viewed as responsible adults that can be critized or blamed for their actions. So weather most people realize it or not they are treating these woman like children.

I don't care about Leo dating younger women (outside of it being an easy subject for jokes) but him getting upset over the reputation is a bit hilarious? What is he expecting? Like Demi Moore had a reputation for being a cougar for marrying Ashton Kutcher. One dude with a much smaller age gap than this.

When you're a celebrity your love life is under the microscope. It's dumb but it's what it is. George Clooney also had a reputation of being a player until he suddenly got married as well.

On the other end of the spectrum people accuse Hugh Jackman of being gay because he's been faithfully married to his wife for his entire career. So overall Leo has it alright.

How is it moving the goalposts when this only really ramped up for him in the last few years as he's approaching 50.

For a long time it was celebrities like Taylor Swift who'd point to Leo to say "This dude doesn't cop anywhere near much as the same amount of criticism as I do for dating several people"

Its the age difference too, imo

there is nothing a 50 year old man has with common with a 19 year old. The only reason hes dating these chicks is to band young girls fresh out of high school, and thats his prerogative and its not illegal or whatever, but as a normal adult its definitely something that comes across as creepy on its face

25, yeah sure its a big gap but not super weird, but the fact that he starts with these girls at 19-20 is fucken weird

it was fucked up to criticize tay-tay about her dating life, and its also bullshit to criticize Leo for it as well.

I posted a stat earlier ITT about the average birthing age in the US. It ranged between 21 and 23. How is Leo a predator for dating a 25 year old again?

I don't think it's right to call him a predator. But that's not what he is annoyed about according to the initial article.

He is upset that he has a reputation for dating younger women even though he exclusively dates younger women for the past two decades.

What does he expect? When it comes to Hollywood gossip that's overall pretty tame and not worth crying about.

ok this is a blatant attempt at moving the goal posts.

first he was criticized for dumping them around 25. Then it was the arbitrary pattern of dumping them. Now its about the age he starts dating them?

I will agree that if he is truly in fact beginning to date them right after they turn 18 or 19 that is pretty creepy and suspect - citation needed though.

you are the guy that wanted to make CE a board about topics about parental issues and toddler issues though, and youre one of those Disney world is for people with kids, youre not a real adult if you dont have kids guys, so yeah I sort of suspect youre just jealous that Leo doesnt have to worry about pulling green spaghetti snot out of some toddlers nostrils like you do, but if someone shows me stat showing that Leo is in fact starting dating these girls at 18 and 19 then I will agree.

From memory it was this Reddit graph that really kickstarted the whole thing

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/0/7/AACT2jAAEMzP.jpg

I think he went through another girlfriend who was dumped right before her 25th birthday which kicked it back up and now he has just started dating a 19 year old so the discussion is back again.

so he doesnt really go and wait until his dates turn 18 and 19 (pattern) like the golden eel said? And the ONE time he dated a 18 year old and a 19 year old was when he was 24 and 25, and not in his 40s?

so golden eel lied? :

He just started dating a 19 year old. That's why this flared up.

People have been pointing out that the age difference is now the same as the one between the actors for Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us. Also Sheriff Hopper and Eleven in Stranger Things.

yes. Thats creepy and suspect (though to be fair shes still legal at 19 and she is also a celeb, but personally Id not go that low and Im just 26).

but thats still a far cry from the character assignation and goal post moving that golden eel has been engaging here, such as:

dude is 46 according to that chart. And I guarantee you he is not 50 (iirc he is 47 right now), that is just a blatant lie.

The only reason hes dating these chicks is to band young girls fresh out of high school

He is building a narrative that he keeps hunting for 18/19 year olds. He began dating one at 24 and then after lasting six years with her he dated a 20 year old when he was 29.



but the fact that he starts with these girls at 19-20 is fucken weird

according to the chart he did date a 19 yr old when he was 25. Big fucking difference. Dude is stating as a fact that he is some creepo in his 50s serially dating 19 year olds (which would be creepy as fuck, I agree)

IDK its odd that the daddy life guy (eel) is harping on the hyper-bachelor dude that dates supermodels, it sounds more like jealousy to me

By your logic. He should be allowed to date only women as famous as him. Not defending the age difference. But a random woman his age will still have this power imbalance thing

The power imbalance thing is so silly. There's power imbalances in nearly every relationship. The important part is to recognize what they are and act accordingly to the interest of both parties, in which I assume everyone subconsciously already do.


Probably. It seems like it's other people who claim a power imbalance instead of the actual people in the relationship though.
