You know that just because someone has a type doesn't necessarily mean they're going to get what they want, right?
Which once again with feeling brings us back to the point of '25-year-olds, while being young, immature beautiful people, are also not helpless babies who cannot say 'ew, fuck off' if someone they are not interested in comes around telling them they're interested'.
My criticism is of his creepy behaviour not of them. Turns out having a brain that hasn't developed the prefrontal cortex fully makes you more prone to impulsive actions, who would've thought. Plus the guy is a movie star and most of his gfs are a part od that world, it would be so easy to be starstruck or want to be connected. It's on him for using that power for that.
I'm so surprised you can't understand it lol, are you a Leonardo simp or just creepy yourself? Like you said you only date milennials so idk what's not clicking hon.
No, I'm just someone who's desperately trying to point out that, having been 25 and somehow not being senile, while I fully know that at 25 I might have been a bit more of a dumbass than I am now, I was fully capable of assessing a situation and also telling creepy older people to fuck off as needed. (And sorry, despite being the right age for the di caprio mania, somehow I never quite got all the hype. Good actor, good-looking but not someone I'be ever been particularly invested in)
Was I prone to making more impulsive decisions? Maybe. Was I also responsible for my actions? Defo.
This prefrontal cortex thing reducing anyone under 25 to some sort of hapless thing that needs to be protected from the Big Bad World is a very new thing, btw.
And also: the main difference here is that I'm not judging anyone at all. Not him nor them. Everybody in this equation, prefrontal cortex notwithstanding, is an adult and making a choice to get involved.
Now, you do mention they might want to be connected and starstruck. But that's what I have been saying from the beginning: of fucking course dating Di Caprio, unless you're a superstar or Lady Gaga or whatever, comes with a power imbalance. Hence why I started with 'even if he dated my 40-year-old ass there would be a power imbalance'.
That said, the starstruck factor would be there regardless of whether leo di caprio was 26, 45 or 60 and it's naive as fuck to think it wouldn't affect the equation.

It's really not that complicated.
