Jennifer Aniston: I Hate "This Whole 'Poor Lonely Jen' Thing"

Jennifer Aniston doesn't want anyone's pity over her love life."This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love?," she says in her buzzed-about December Vogue interview. "I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love...I'm right where I'm supposed to be."Her marriage to Brad Pitt simply "didn't work out," she says.

"Whoever said everything has to be forever," she explains. "That's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself that's unattainable."Post-Pitt, she says she has met many lovely guys.Vince Vaughn helped her bounce back."I call Vince my defibrillator," Aniston says. "He literally brought me back to life ... He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together."
Even with her on-again beau John Mayer, the actress says, "I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that's where it is."

Still, she stresses, she refuses to live her life for a man."I never liked Sex and the City, the kind of thing where women only feel empowered once they find the Man," Aniston says. "It is just not up my alley. I don't believe in it."I'm going to have children," she declares. "I just know it."
