It's two consenting adults, and it's perfectly legal, but that doesn't make it any less gross.

So you think it's "gross" for a poor person to date a rich person? For whom, the rich person?

It's gross for a man in his forties to repeatedly date teenagers and to dump them when they turn 25.

I agree--it's more the pattern of behavior than if it was an isolated incident. If someone dated someone that much older/younger, i might think that's weird. If they have a steady habit of scooping girls up shortly after becoming "legal" and dumping them after a very specific duration in order to begin the process again with another 18-19 yr old, i would definitely think that's weird.

The word is predatory

Why? If they both want to do it, what is gross about it? Because you don't like it? The same way people call gay couples gross because they don't like it. They're adults, they can do as they like. Anyone who Googles him will know his history, it's not hidden. People need to stop treating women like constant helpless victims.

There is a lot more gross shit that happens like the Catholic Church clergy raping children...

But some how our society gets fixed on attractive young women banging rich dudes for money as some sort of moral failing and these chicks are too stupid anyway, Right?

This says more about you as a person than the people you are criticizing.

🤡

More than one thing can be true at once. The Catholic church is known for its disgusting sexual abuse of children. Also Leonardo Dicaprio is gross for his treatment of women.

One is a likely one of the worst crimes in human history...

The other is a conseutual relationship between the too adults.

Some how this legal behavior gets more comment section traction than the actual crimes.

Again, this speaks more about our society than Leo paying for pussy.

I thought sex work was all kosher? What the difference here

Me no like that number have big gap.

That's the only real issue, people not liking other people's choices and judging them for it. A tale as old as time.
