Why does Jennifer Aniston apparently have trouble with men?

It's easier for Chelsea to own up to it because that's her schtick. But Jen is supposed to be the girl next door. The reality is that Jen's career will be on a downward trajectory (think: Julia Roberts, her predecessor). She's too old to play the leading lady, and she's no Meryl Streep so she won't garner the limited roles for older women (Reese, Winslet, and Julianne have better odds than she does). Maybe she'll end up back on the small screen some day?

Julia Roberts is not on a downward career spiral. I don't think Roberts and Aniston is comparable. Aniston has only done romantic comedies. Julia's films have included romantic comedies along with drama films. Roberts is one of the older actresses who is currently offered the leading roles. She was in "Osage County" with Meryl Streep. She was in Erin Brockovich, Charlie Wilson's War, Normal Heart, etc. And although I don't give much credit to the Oscars due to the politics, Hollywood does, and Roberts has an Oscar.

Roberts narrow band of acting has played out to its natural conclusion. Osage County didn't go anywhere. Roberts hasn't been in anything of note lately, which is fine, but she's not any kind of acting powerhouse. Or even a respectable aging actress.

?? She was the highest paid actress at the height of her career. It's totally possible that she's not actively pursuing jobs either.

And we are on the other side of her success. She doesn't have the talent to play anything believable for an older role.

Wow, tell that to Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Juilianne Moore, Judi Dench, Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sigourney Weaver, Sandra Bullock, Rachel Weisz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz, Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Jodi Foster, etc.

Nah, there is still work out there for women over forty, fifty, and sixty.

They still get work because they have acting talent. Aniston, and I'd argue Roberts, do not.

Because by the time you're in your 30s and 40s, people have had previous relationships. She was married before, too, so I guess Angie got her sloppy seconds. And Brad got Billy Bob Thornton's sloppy seconds....

Sloppy thirds. Her first husband was Jonny Lee Miller.

For awhile, John mayer was getting passed around.

Nah. I don't get the impression that JA allows the men to beat on her like Halle.

I am sure Jenn Aniston is doing well in her life.

Being married, then subsequently dumped in such a public manner must not have been fun...But it is a trade-off. If Jenn never married Brad Pitt, I highly doubt she would be the A-List Star she is today.

Face it, Friends has been off the air for a decade now. And Jenn still does movies. Yet in each and every movie we all see Jennifer Aniston. She is too much type-casted due to her inflexible appearance.

W/out Brad, she would be appearing in Nyquil ads.

Who cares? She's a gajillionaire from the Friends royalties and can do WTF she wants.

Jennifer Aniston comes across as the same character in all her movies. I always have high hopes (I loved Friends), but she seems to somehow make them all awful.

Relationships are likely the same for her and fizzle.

What's the deal here?

Control freak? Starfish in bed? Bad breath? Narcissist? Asshole?

Who knows.

Personally I don't think she's attractive.
