This Headline - Media Gaslighting Us Again - Why in the World Would Jennifer Anniston Do Online Dating?!?

sunshinewynter · 2021-06-28T01:20:02+00:00

It's a stupid question to ask a celebrity. They would not be able to use OLD.

pickadaisy · 2021-06-28T01:01:58+00:00

They never want to believe we are just damn fine being single if the alternative is trash.

Edit: Thank you for the award, whoever you are!

Beyond insulting

MilkMadeMe · 2021-06-28T02:41:05+00:00

Guarantee he thinks he himself or some other “normal nice guy” (TM) would sweep her off her feet after matching on some online dating app. Fantasy land.

SakuraGirl88 · 2021-06-28T02:57:11+00:00

Ridiculous to even bring this up. Because God forbid a successful, attractive woman just be happy with being single and having standards and not wanting to settle. She wants the whole cake with the cherry on top and not just the crumbs. Period.

spicyspa · 2021-06-28T03:55:58+00:00

Jennifer Aniston is going to end up single, alone and with her cats.

I'm pretty sure her cats will be an assortment of lions and tigers.

Fucking next level cat lady.

Reporters wont ask any hollywood men if they're on dating apps because the answer is yes, and not to find a relationship, its for free prostitution.

Guyincognito9876 · 2021-06-28T04:54:23+00:00

The media has always tried to portray her as some poor woman who is unlucky in love and desperate for a man. As if! She appears to be living her best life and isn’t prepared to settle for second best.

Dazzling_Grass1727 · 2021-06-28T08:31:06+00:00

Because a single successful woman is unacceptable.

I've had friends try hook me up or get their friends to convince me that I needed a guy to treat me nicely. I told them I can treat myself nicely thank you. Being in a relationship isn't an indicator of success.

Jen seems quite happy being on her own and won't have Brad back in her life. He went away for a reason and he will stay out for the same reason.

Saitschik · 2021-06-28T12:10:00+00:00

Pitt is an alcoholic divorcee, his kids don't want to see him and he fools around with instagram influencers who could be his daughter.

But the one who gets asked about her DaTinG LiFe and has to assure that she still wants a man constantly is Aniston.

Maybe she just understood that she doged a bullet? If I would be 52 there is no way I would still bother with dating, marriage etc.

kaoutanu · 2021-06-28T04:18:35+00:00

It's written as if she gave an interview to the reporter, but I'd put money on it some scrote paparazzi popped out of the bushes and screamed the question at her as she was going about her business, and this is what she replied.

Otherwise if she breezes on by and doesn't answer, the headline is something like "Jennifer Aniston tries online dating in desperate last minute baby bid!!!" just because she didn't specifically deny it.

fds3v3rday · 2021-06-28T00:57:13+00:00

That's the most interesting thing his pea brain could come up with

InaneObservations · 2021-06-28T03:48:48+00:00

People Magazine, they never change. I guess they finally had to give up asking her why she hasn't had a baby yet, since she's 52. I hope she mailed them her last tampon and said "GIVE IT UP ALREADY!"

Like, she already nailed Brad Pitt. Her work is done here. Let her enjoy her successful life. Or, ya know, write a puff piece about all the projects she's working on, ffs. Her companies have won Emmys and Golden Globes. One would think she turned letters on the Wheel of Fortune for all the attention they pay to her actual work.

electricpapaya593 · 2021-06-28T06:56:34+00:00

Pffft thats not surprising. Thats pure snark, how is it even remotely surprising? We have to just anticipate and assume people are doing this kinda thing all the time. The second you're surprised, the second you ask them "why they're doing it" You're giving them the reaction they want. They want to see you upset. Fighting. Its what men live for. They're sadistic so don't EVER play into that.

They know perfectly well what they're doing and the ONLY reaction she or anyone should use is holding back a laugh. Smiling and laughing softly like you're holding back something HUGE and accidently spit your water in their face, "Oh my god I'm so sorry!"

And stumble away laughing

restlessGal · 2021-06-28T15:40:55+00:00

I just got trashed in another sub for saying Tinder is garbage. They said “tell me you often visit femaledatingstrategy without telling me” and like… what? 🤡🤡🤡

ennu_i_sao · 2021-06-28T09:00:53+00:00

One of my (now ex) pickme friends tried to encourage me to do online dating (or worse, set me up with terrible men that I could “put in their place”). OLD is a terrible transactional environment and it is so hard to vet. The older websites kinda tried to help you vet, with questions to prevent you from interacting with people you don’t want to, but obviously most people didn’t really care or want to use them. I’d rather never go on a date then have to experience my inbox getting absolutely bombarded

ButterfliesHurricane · 2021-06-28T15:35:09+00:00

All ladies need to stay off dating apps unless they want a hookup. Nothing wrong if a hookup is all they want but anything more is a minefield. There are a lot more men than women seeking hookups so some men will pretend they want more just to get that hookup / date. Look at the dating over xx sub, all the posts and comments from women being catfished by time wasters lying on their age, height, marital status, financial situation etc. Whilst there might be a few genuine ones, the vast majority seems to be no good. As a woman on these dating apps, you’re just a bait used by the app to make money and by men to get their hookups.

There is also the overwhelming vibe that they decide straight away if a woman is relationship material, if not they would still use her for sex if they can and dump her.

Lazy-Ocelot-4186 · 2021-06-28T02:41:47+00:00

So annoying. Why the hell would she need to lol

Disastrous_Fig_464 · 2021-06-28T03:30:31+00:00

This article probably did more for her than an online profile anyway- men will see she's not desperate or a dummy and respect her more for it

whyteboisummer69420 · 2021-06-28T20:10:09+00:00

Rich and famous people have their own dating app. I forget what it’s called but it’s a thing.

m00n5t0n3 · 2021-06-28T19:16:36+00:00

Love her answer. The audacity!

user10i8op · 2021-06-29T09:58:37+00:00

Jen deserved so much better.

The fact that the media still asks her about children and marriage and how they make up all these rumours that she is having children or adopting or marrying is ridiculous.

Yet here is Leonardo Dicaprio who has never been asked these questions, who was never asked these questions the day he turned 30, now he is 47 years old and still not asked these types of questions.

Inside_Inside_8610 · 2021-06-29T18:30:08+00:00

They're only asking because men, esp this reporter, likes the idea of Jennifer Aniston lowering herself to date online because that's the only way someone like him could have a chance. A chance which he most certainly does not deserve.
