Is it just coincidence, or is he a bit of a weirdo?

Really? He's dated a lot of women, none over 25, that's not a coincidence. He's 50 years old BTW.

Here's the infographic, from 2022:

I was asking if it’s a coincidence he keeps breaking up with them at a certain age like a weirdo, or if the relationships just always go poorly anyway.

Allow me to help give context. This is Leonardo DiCaprio we're talking about, a very famous movie star. This man can afford to have eccentric personal relationship rules. These women, while much younger, are still adults who can make informed decisions about their own lives. It's even easier to grasp when you realize this just means they know the relationship has a predetermined max limit.

Thi2nk of it like a summer fling. Someone comes into town, just for the summer. You really hit it off and both of you want to spend more time with the other. But you both know at the end of Summer, they're leaving town again. Would you still be willing to enjoy that time together?

It's kind of like that, except the other person is Leonardo fucking DiCaprio, and they're leaving town because they're rich celebrities who can do whatever they want.

So yeah, it's definitely fuckin weird, but that doesn't exactly make it bad. Those are independent variables.

Reminds me when people were shit talking Melania Trump for being obviously much younger and hotter than Dried Turnip. She shut them up because no shit, shes hot, he's affluent, it's win win. Relationships are social contracts, not Disney fairy tales.

For us poors, they can be fairy tales

But definitely not the Disney variety
