SWF - Jennifer Aniston and the Single Girl Dilemma





 Jennifer Ansiton announced she was engaged this week. While I am happy for ANYONE who finds true (enough to get engaged) love, the press this is getting sort of backhands the strong single woman issue.


I personally feel its perfectly acceptable to be a strong, independent, successful, passionate woman without a husband. I think its perfectly acceptable if your path (chosen or otherwise) does not include a man or children -  almost no one would disagree with me -  but the overall sentiment in this case seems to be against it. But here's the thing guys -  Jennifer Aniston is NOT in need of any pity.



Jennifer Aniston once went on a date with Jon Stewart and never called him again. Jennifer is one of the most famous and highest paid actresses of our time (8 million for Wanderlust). She once turned down a cast role on SNL for the pilot Friends. Though divorced from Brad Pitt, they still co-own a production company together. She knows Karate. She has two dogs. She actively supports 6 charities. She happens to also be single.

If all you knew about her before was that she is childless, and once got cheated on by current mountain man Brad Pitt with Angelina "lips" Jolie -  you were mistaken. She, like all women - single, married or otherwise coupled is a layered and dynamic person with something to offer. Not having a man does not indicate something wrong with HER -  but to me, shows a resolve not to settle for anything less than someone who can love, respect, and support everything about her.

So congratulations to Justin and Jennifer. Two super-attractive people who should have a kick-ass wedding (lord knows they can afford it.) And also, she looks amazing in white.
