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.

Not very bright and also not very mature.

Couple that with fame since her early 20s and she's just not cut out for marriage. Or parenthood.

And anyway, last I heard, JA was in a longterm relationship. How is that "trouble with men"?

The double standard IS ridiculous. Clooney was seen to be the happy, elusive, confirmed bachelor. Aniston in the meantime is viewed as a girl who can't seem to keep a guy on the hook.

I say she lets those guys fall right off that hook. As soon as the fireworks die she let's the relationship die. The guy then strays and poor Jennifer looks like the wronged one with the broken heart. Rinse, repeat.

Clooney is gay, and pretty much everyone knows it. That's why it's no surprise he remained a "bachelor" for so long.

She's a human being, why does anyone have problems maintaining a relationship?

Anonymous wrote:...I don't know too, maybe I am being ridiculous, but it's hard for me to imagine that she really doesn't want kids or a marriage. Why keep getting engaged? Why marry Brad to begin with? Maybe it's just what every other single-40s-something woman deals with and Chelsea leans into it, but my take is, even through all of the acting and what-not, she seems to be screaming "LIKE ME! - please like me!" No one forced this woman into her field, no one makes her go to these vents, and date these men. She chooses it. Roberts married a camera-guy who stays at home with the kids. Aniston married Brad f-in Pitt. I don't have a TON of empathy, sorry.

What's the deal here?

Based on what? Have you ever been in the same room with her? How does one make a judgement about someone's personality and intimate relationships when they've even met the person???

You can tell a lot about someone's personality if you observe them
Closely during interviews and public appearances. Also her Vanity Fair article after the Brad Pitt divorce was pretty revealing.
