Dammit, I totally agree this is a great visualization method, and as it happens I have one (and possibly more) dashboards to build for work… but there’s no way I could bring that in to work as an example.
Dammit.
It’s interesting how the tinted black & white photos show that not only does he have an age limit on partners, but he has a certain type. Collectively, the women look like they could play sisters.
You might be interested in more of the same then. This was originally posted on the Data is Beautiful subreddit.
He keeps getting older and they stay the same age.
I found the graph in my newsfeed. Even though it was posted on reddit a month ago, Maxim Magazine only published it today. I guess their tie-in is that a lot of the women he’s dated have been models that have appeared on their pages.
The “article” actually says something along the lines that DiCaprio, a handsome Academy Award winning actor, should be allowed his daliances now, but if continues for the next 20 years, “it might be a little weird.”
I believe Charlie Chaplin had the same predilection for young ingénues, too, well into his later years.
He did, which was why he was still having more kids into his 70s.
It’s also interesting because for a while Leo had a reputation for only hanging out with older women, at least at awards shows and such, with the implication that he was gay and not out of the closet enough to feel comfortable showing up in public with a boyfriend.
None of any of our damn business either way, of course, but the numbers in the infographic definitely indicate a certain… calculation to the proceedings, similar to how all of Tom Cruise’s marriages have lasted nigh-exactly 5 years. It smacks of secret contracts and the commodification of relationships to a degree that is uncomfortable, albeit also historical in Hollywood.
Speaking as an older man with a much younger wife… it ain’t nobody else’s business. When we discover someone who thinks it is their business, we make them feel as uncomfortable as possible.
You go, Leo!
He’d better watch out…
Do you dump your wife when she turns 25 and marry a new, younger woman? Repeatedly? So, not the same thing.
Not to mention the slide into middle-age body, while all the women look slim and lithe.
The video suggests one should not park next to a Tesla. 
Meh, that gets into a whole other transactional issue with relationships. The idea everyone has an invisible scorecard over our heads based on income, clothing size, and looks which determines what we can “get” is just gross. It assumes everyone is attracted to the same things, and shames anyone who isn’t, never mind anyone with a low “score”.
Put it this way: Cindy Gallop prefers to date younger men, and to keep it casual throughout the relationship. She’s up-front about it, and by being forthright from the get-go she’s known for having stayed friends with most of her partners. She’s also up-front about aging.
Hollywood generally does not allow either of those things. That’s not specific to Leo, but Hollywood in general. That’s why there are so few publicity photos of Hugh Jackman with his wife, or Pierce Brosnan with his, and why their wives are notable in the tabloid sense.
(Not sure about Brosnan’s wife, but the point becomes very pointy for Jackman’s wife, since she is a very accomplished person.)
I didn’t even marry her until she was 25, so no. The previous wife died; I would rather have kept her, but it’s worked out.
I think I’d need to be a Leo level of “rich” before that could possibly work. My life is crazy enough without all that stress. I have a friend who’s on his third wife and third set of kids, and his life sucks in ways I can’t even imagine. I’m two-for-two, not going to mess up my record unless she changes her mind.
“I. Am. Having. Fun!”
Exactly. If I find it weird, it’s my problem, not his. Both parties in his relationship are consenting adults who know what they’re getting into.
Meh. I enjoy my slide into middle age. I weigh over 150 pounds now, have hair that’s not the dictionary definition of Jewfro, and actually look my age instead of much much younger.
It really is. Putting aside the fact that looks are highly subjective, the idea that someone is something to “get” is really messed up. We mutually commodify each other and then wonder why the divorce rate is so high. Pikachu.jpeg.
Who?
She’s apparently an ad exec who lives inside a black apartment, but my question still stands.
Again, who?
Cindy Gallop was an ad executive. She’s now the founder of the web site Make Love Not Porn, and an ambassador for the AARP, fighting ageism. She also has a massively popular TED talk from when she launched Make Love Not Porn.
For Pierce Brosnan, check IMDB.
But in a way, they don’t know what they’re getting into. In many cases, they’re following a fairy tale they’ve been told their entire lives: successful man gets pretty young girl, and both live happily ever after. But then the young woman becomes a slightly older woman, and the guy starts looking for her replacement instead of leaning in to the relationship built thus far.
Yup. That’s the point. You get to slide into middle age, experience an expanding waistline (and you were never pregnant!), lose some hair, look your age. Women don’t.
It’s laughable to me that anyone can be this idealistic. Or even idealistic at all. Life is just shit on top of more shit on top of even more shit. One would have to be really naive to not realize this in childhood.
Leonardo DiCaprio may be shallow, and I believe he is, but as long as he owns his shallowness and is up front about it, I really don’t see the problem. If he isn’t, then he’s a shitty human being just like so many others, but fortunately, his “private” life is so public and well documented that there are infographics about it.
So yes, we know Leonardo DiCaprio is shallow and not a good person, but I’m hardly shocked by any of this and it affects me not at all.
And my point is that I was a very awkward looking twentysomething. My early twenties did not look good on me. Not that I look that good now, but at least my belts don’t wrap around me twice anymore. If I was better looking when I was younger, maybe I would think differently.
No, I know I would. I am one of the few people of any gender who looks better in middle age than they did twenty years earlier.
As far as looking my age, looking way younger than I am is definitely a bad thing. The lack of respect I got for my youthful appearance was palpable. So no, I don’t think looking young is a good thing, at all.
Oh bullshit.
Seriously, bullshit.
Cynicism is such a cheap argument.
Happiness and ignorance are not the same. And believing what you’ve been indoctrinated into since infancy is not foolishness. Yes, even when there is evidence to the contrary. Read any account of growing up in a cult.
