Whenever I read something about Leo's young girlfriends, I remember an interview with Johnny Depp where he remarked about feeling bad that he treated Leo terribly while filming Gilbert Grape because all Leo cared about at the time was talking about video games. Pretty understandable for the age he was at that time, but despite his meteoric career since, I have to wonder if his life gave him the experiences that he needed to progress beyond that point. Is he dumping women because the get to old for him, or because by 25, they've outgrown him?
Not defending it in anyway, I just cannot understand wanting to engulf yourself in the mental maturity of someone thirty years younger than you are, unless you are at the same mental age yourself.
Huh I also just learned today that he doesn't have any kids either. It could be entirely possible that the people he's dated wanted to get serious and actually start a family with him as they got older and he didn't want to deal with the pressure or responsibility of having kids.

That actually makes me think of a slightly tangential issue. If the vast majority of people in your age range just aren't compatible with you, but someone outside of that range is, is that such a problem? Like for example, if you're younger and you don't like how everyone your age is immature and partying all the time or constantly on tik tok, is it wrong to seek more mature people? Or on the flip side, if you're older and everyone around your age is super bitter, pessimistic, jaded, etc. but you're not, is it so bad to seek out someone outside of your age range that is more positive/optimistic? Like between two consenting adults, anything should be fair game, no?
