    I don’t know whether I’m on the side of

    • He’d probably go lower if he could (which doesn’t seem unlikely given his dating history BUT it’s also a complete hypothetical)

    • He’s a consenting adult, they’re a consenting adult, so what’s the big deal?

    Conflicted feelings. I certainly wouldn’t date someone half my age (or even lower in Leo’s case), but that’s predominantly for not being able to relate to them much - not for physical reasons.

    People may be shocked at this, but an attractive 20 year old woman is still attractive whether you’re 15, 20, 40, or 55.

      Be glad he’s not going lower, cause many, many are. They’re just doing it out of sight.

      Also, this is a transactional relationship. The woman is getting access to high level directors and producers at the parties Leo takes her too. She’s not that naive.

        Indeed.

        I was going to write another line about how to me the most objectionable part to me is that he dumps them as they enter their mid-late 20s and that it must hurt them emotionally, but let’s be real, you’re right – these women know this will happen from the very start. They’re going in with their eyes open. It’s a transactional relationship, and they’re fine with that.

          that he dumps them as they enter their mid-late 20s and that it must hurt them emotionally,

          Anymore than when my college girl friend dumped me?

          I don’t see anyone posting about sunzu2’s pain!
