- she is gorgeous, so talented and very rich. She has no reason to compromise and settle in a mediocre relationship. She is one of the few women around who is at absolute liberty to engage with any man she finds attractive as long as she pleases and not a day or two more. Regular women have finances and lives to think about in a way that she is shielded from due to her massive wealth and resources. Instead of trudging along in a lifeless marriage, she’s off and trying to find a new man she has a connection with. The result is, I imagine, a series of very emotionally and sexually fulfilling shorter term romances.

- she probably wants an equally successful and powerful man and that’s hard to come by due to sheer statistics. There aren’t that many successful and single men out there whose profiles would hatch her. And even when she does meet and date the few that exist, two hugely successful and famous people rarely can make it work.

I actually think that she's been picking the wrong men. Most of the men that she has been with (Casper Smart, Marc Anthony, A-Rod, Diddy) have cheated on her. That does a number on someone I don't care how beautiful, rich, and successful you are. I hope it does work out with her and Ben. I believe he's the only one (or one of the very few) out of her famous exes who never cheated on her.

This is true. Not everyone has a knack for picking the right men. Its a true skillset that many smart women hone early in life when they are dating to marry. She seems to be unable to see who will be faithful vs who will not. The string of relationships where she was cheated on doesnt help.

Very few people ever suggest an obvious possibility...which is that she herself may struggle with monogamy and being faithful. At least one ex was going to write a book on their marriage but she put an end to that, pretty quickly. I don't think it's outrageous to suspect she may have her own demons to battle. We call her a "love addict" when maybe if she were male instead we might say sex addict who knows?...maybe she has some driven, compulsive tendencies sexually herself. It's possible.

So why can't she keep a man?

Maybe she’s keeping them only as long as she wants to. Some of us do that. We don’t want you forever ever necessarily. Maybe long enough to have the babies we want. Or as long as the D consistently delivers. She can afford to treat her men like disposable fashion because she’s rich and still desirable. Why not kick em to the curb and get a new one?

Right...that's why she keeps getting engaged, because she doesn't want them around forever...

I know a bunch of people who treat engagement as a step up from dating, but not necessarily a commitment to marry.

Daddy issues I’m guessing. Wikipedia says her mom kicked her out when she quit school so maybe she wasn’t nurtured very much or has trust issues OR maybe it’s just her. I mean pretty wears off and maybe she’s not the great to be with. Show me a beautiful woman and I’ll show you a man who is tired of sleeping with her.
