There Is Nothing Wrong with Leonardo DiCaprio Dating Younger Women
Those saying otherwise are the problem
Leonardo DiCaprio is at it again, the moment his girlfriend turns 25, it’s over and it’s time for the next lady to come along.
He is 47 now and inevitably due to how popular — a.k.a. it’s a great clickbait title — it is these days to call older guys who date younger women creeps, the Internet is flooded with such posts. Of course, included in these posts is always “information” that is “backed” by “studies” which have nothing to do with the way the writer is trying to use them, that tell women that they should date men in this age range, or this age range, or this age range, but never that age range. Never any hint of letting women do whatever they want.
In truth, it’s amazing how all these posts and articles claim to be looking out for us women, while doing everything that we women have spent the last hundred years or so we are fighting against. Being told how to live our lives. Sometimes I wonder if all we did when we overthrew men telling us what to do, was to replace it with women.
So instead of the male “moral” police which was backed by selected females, now we have the female which is backed by selected males. Perhaps they were always one in the same. They even use the exact same arguments, we are just sharing information to look out for your best interests.
Though it’s not just those attacking Leonardo DiCaprio that are the problem, it is those who gain the power to write deliberately provocative counter-responses through those who write posts attacking Leonardo DiCaprio as well. For example, all these posts saying why it is great dating younger women. They gain mass media attention due to them being a response to those attacking Leonardo DiCaprio which inspires people to make more of them.
This inspires people to try to respond to these new ones, creating a vicious cycle where the only winners are media and publishing industries and all the writers and content creators who will be watching the dollars fly in off the back of the endless tit-for-tat fighting.
When this happens, it’s not younger women being manipulated by older men, it’s all the people who are being sold all this rubbish which does nothing other than provoke people, mess up people’s heads, spread endless lies and mistruths, and cause needless upset while providing zero benefits to anyone that are being manipulated.
But what is the truth? Is Leonardo DiCaprio actually in the wrong for dating younger women? Is he a creep?
The answer is a straight-up no to both counts. Absolutely not.
First up, he is entering into consensual relationships with adults, who know exactly what they will be getting from him. He does not exactly shy away from the truth. Something which he should be praised for. The dangerous people are those who lie about what they want, they are the people who lure others in under false pretences and then once they have them in a vulnerable position, reveal their true colours.
There is no deception from Leonardo DiCaprio, you know what to expect from him, and what he wants from you, and you know he is not looking for a lifelong relationship. This is why it makes sense that he would date women under the age of 25. It makes sense why older women who decide they wish to experience casual dating seek out younger men. It makes sense why men that don’t want to settle down prefer younger women, it makes sense why women who don’t want to settle down are increasingly prefering younger men.
Think of it like this, Leonardo DiCaprio does not want to settle down. The majority of both men and women under the age of 25 also don’t want to settle down, they want to experience life. However, the majority of women over the age of 25 and especially over the age of 30, and especially in Leonardo DiCaprio’s age range, mostly do want to settle down. They certainly don’t want to be with a guy who they know for certain beyond doubt is not looking for something long-term — at least the vast majority don’t.
Of those who typically wish to date casually, most of them do exactly what Leonardo DiCaprio is doing, and this counts for both males and females, they date those in their 20s because those in their 20s typically are not looking to settle down. And who can blame them, it’s not to do with the age, it’s to do with finding somebody on the same page as you.
In terms of why those in their 20s like to date older guys and girls, it can be for endless reasons, I know when I was in my 20s, I preferred dating older guys because there was a higher probability they would be interested in settling down. I know my friend who is presently in her 40s prefers dating guys in their 20s and early 30s specifically because she doesn’t want to settle down, and it’s easier to find people in that age range who are on the same page as her.
The reason why younger people who don’t want to settle down often like to date older people is most likely that they want to. I know my 20-year-old self would have loved the chance to date 47-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio, specifically because of the fact I know he doesn’t want to settle down just as I did not want to at that age, but I also know that dating him would have been a lot of fun.
I would imagine all these young women who have dated Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to and learned a lot from dating him and had a lot of fun. I’m not talking sexually here, who knows how good he is in bed; I’m talking about life and the media industry.
People often forget that younger people especially are desperate for knowledge and the best source of knowledge is often older people. I’ve often postulated that those who like dating older people at a young age are those who are the most curious and thirsty for knowledge — I know that was the case for me when I dated older people. It had nothing to do with me being taken advantage of, or having “daddy” issues, they just had something I wanted and because I connected with them I dated them.
The reality is, no matter how much saying otherwise may be a great way of making money, the majority of older people have no interest in taking advantage of younger people, the older people that do would and do take advantage of older people as well.
This is important to acknowledge, what is also important to acknowledge is that you can be taken advantage of by people your own age, by people younger than you. On top of that, what is not talked about anywhere near enough is the fact that the greatest threat to those in the 15 to 25 age ranges is by far those within those age ranges. This is why it’s not surprising so many young women especially prefer dating outside of it, and would happily swap their present partner for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Final words
Men and women like Leonardo DiCaprio will never be the problem, the proof of that comes from the fact that if you listen to the women who have dated him, the only complaint that ever seems to be given is that he doesn’t want to settle down. If only everyone was as blatant as Leonardo DiCaprio about what they wanted, and what they expected in return, the dating scene would be a much safer place.
So rather than criticising him, praise him for showing the way. Not by dating younger women, but by being upfront about his intentions and desires.
