It’s not manipulative. It’s shallow, but not manipulative.
Because there’s a pattern of older people preying on younger less experienced people because they’re easier to manipulate. I wouldn’t immediately jump to the conclusion that Leo is a predator because of it, but I definitely think it’s weird. I’d think it’s weird if one of my friends dated a 19 year old in their mid-late twenties, nevermind 50s.
Take it from an almost 40 year old. You know fuck all at 18 about the world. Yes you are an adult and subject to all that being an adult entails. But honestly you still have very little life experience. >

But i guess enough life experience at 18 to do porn, enter into contracts like buying a house, join the military etc. >

Well yes, because you are an adult and can make your own decisions. However, 18 year olds are generally still dumb af and an older person would probably find it easier to manipulate them because of their lack of experience.
Using Leo DiCaprio as an example, there’s something dodgy about a man of his age dating someone that young. I’m 27 and would see a 19 year old as far too young for myself. No one’s saying it should be illegal, but somethings not quite right about it, and I say that as a big Leo fan >

Just because the possibility is there doesn't mean that's what happening. It's just assumptions without any context or insight in the situation. Don't you find a 19yo choosing to date an older millionaire just as dodgy? >

That’s what I said? But the potential is much more likely. 
No, a 19 year old wouldn’t have the same potential to manipulate a much older partner as vice versa. Plus, 19 year olds are dumb and will jump at any chance at clout. >

Don't you think dating someone for the sake of clout is manipulative?
Why does the potential matter? If you don't know, then it's irrelevant just because something could be happening.
