Has Jennifer Aniston Finally Found the Perfect Man?

By Jo Piazza Posted Jun 3rd 2011 08:10PM

Whatever will we do if one day Jennifer Aniston finally gets it right and we can't bemoan the love life of "Poor Jen" any longer? That day may have finally arrived; it's time to find a new sad-relationship-sack, America.

Jen's latest beau, actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux, who reportedly met her friends a week ago, might actually be the perfect man to be the next Mr. Aniston. Here's why:

1. He's age appropriate. At 39 to Jen's 42, this isn't another May-December fling.

2. He's just the right amount of famous. Justin isn't more renowned than Jen, which could be a self-esteem blow, but he does have a certain amount of fame cache, so he gets Jen's world. "I like that he's a successful guy who is comfortable behind the scenes," says relationship and dating coach Tracey Steinberg. "Jen gets a lot of media attention and I'd hate for her to be with a man who tried to compete with her for the spotlight. It sounds to me like a good match and hope it works out for them."

3. He's smart and funny. Remember John Mayer, Jen's crooner ex who thought he was both smart and funny, but most of the time was just a jackass? Theroux is the opposite. He co-wrote the hilarious 'Tropic Thunder' and handled the screenplay for 'Iron Man 2,' and he has a degree in visual arts and drama from Bennington College. "Not only does he have a strong educational background, he has a resume that trumps most actors in Hollywood. Justin has been on TV sitcoms, starred on Broadway, directed films, and he writes his screenplays!" says HollywoodLife.com senior writer Chloe Melas. "Jen needs someone who understands the industry and has a strong career of his own, which is very attractive to an accomplished woman."

4. He has friends. Jen is a social creature so a moody loner just wouldn't do. Justin runs with a crew that includes Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.; all age-appropriate, famous enough friends for Jen.

5. He just doesn't seem like a douche. This one might be the hardest to quantify, but it might also be the most important. Jen has a history of dating douchey men. Since her breakup with Brad Pitt she has gone through John Mayer (the king of douchey behavior), Vince Vaughn (during his perpetually single years) and Bradley Cooper (who doesn't want to be a douche but he's just soooo good looking). More importantly than anything else, Justin seems like a good, normal, nice guy. That's really all America wants for its sweetheart.

With you on that one.

I guess you would rather hear about Angelina and her brood and how everyone should feel sorry for her because she is looking so bad and also because she can't act (where Jennifer can and does so very well. I also guess you not being catty by saying something like JA can't act.

he's not a douche cause he's a very cultured individual, which is something missing from prior men Jen has dated. Sure, no one really cares but she did do a good movie I once saw. It was where she was this counter girl at a walmart type of place. I could've cared less about her until i saw that independent film and saw that she could act. I like his work with David Lynch, and maybe his influence will lead her to more substantive work worthy of her talent.

Has Jennifer Aniston found the perfect man? No. Justin is not because he is a Leo. The only match for Aquarius in Aries. Watch this one go up in flames.

Sorry J, but what part of the fact that trying to predict relationship success levels through astrological nonsense is dumb didn't you quite grasp?

It's PR. Both actors are managed by Stephen Huvane at SLATE PR. It's another piece of social engineering to create extra publicity for her films.

This article has a stupid headline. There is no perfect man. If that's what she's looking for, she is in for a BIG disappointment.

By Kiss my S

And there is no such thing as a perfect woman. Justin Theroux will be with Jennifer just long enough until his elevator could no longer go all the way up.

By err

You forgot to mention that he had a girlfriend up until a week or two ago. The girlfriends mom was talking to radar and Star magazine. He told the G/f and her mom that he was just friends with Aniston but that doesn't seem to be the truth. LoL

By Jason

The perfect man, like the perfect anything, lives in her head and does not exist in the real world.

By mahajanssen

She didn't say that - this website did.

By Larry Giantonio

All these Hollywood types go through men continually....they just cannot stand to be alone for any period of time...from one man to another..

By Hillaree

JennAn is the ultimate in doorknobs. That means everyone has had a turn. She has to be skanky in bed for all those guys to leave her. Maybe she is just simply crazee like Hallee Berry. Two women who are unable to form lasting partnerships/relationships.

Or maybe she is just a little more picky than most and won't put up with just any guys crap just to be attached.

By badmanred

Jen is at that point where her age is just beginning to show. The parties over soon. It's time to stop fooling around and get something with substance that will still be there as those looks continue to fade. The cameras will be going away soon and it would be a pity to be left with just memories and an empty house.

Bennington College isn't exactly the yardstick I'd use today; Google it and you'll see.

By genowhitaker

I'm not getting you animus toward Bennington College. As a writer, Justin Theroux is a great fit, and would have derived strong benefits by graduating a College with a very strong discipline in writing and one of the strongest MFA programs in the country.
