interesting that celebs don;t always date down' more in terms of social heirachy. I understand that people tend to gravitate, roughly, to people of reasonably similar status for one reason or another,
I think part of the reason that celebs tend to date other celebs in longer term relationships is lifestyle similarities.
A male pro basketball player has a much different schedule than a woman working a white collar, office job Mon-Fri 8:30 AM-5:30 PM. The pro basketball player works at night when the office working female isn't at work. Not to mention that the pro basketball player is traveling a lot for road games.
Acting isn't necessarily an 8:30 AM-5:30 PM Mon-Fri type job. Neither is modeling. I might have difficulty matching up my schedule to that of an actress or model. In my city, I have not met too many actresses or models. Even in Los Angeles, there are far more ordinary women than actresses/models.
he could probably setup for some cracking 9/10 more 'normal' women. I'd imagine that would give him much more leverage. of course, always chance that woman could go weird and still divorce him, but I;d imagine chances of getting compliance much higher due to his elite status.
At 58, Brad Pitt could be considered semi-retired, which would give him more free time to date. He's likely wealthy enough to date a woman 10-20 years younger who works a regular job and isn't famous. This 40 something I just described likely also has kids under 18 though. The Millennials are starting to turn 40 and there's been more childlessness among Millennials so it's going to start to get easier to find 40 somethings who are childless. Even with the increase in Millennial childless, the typical woman born in 1982 or 1983 now (about to turn 40) has kids.
