Jennifer Aniston Likes Bad Boys and Is A Man Eater Says Ex

By . Posted on .

Jennifer Aniston's ex tells a tabloid the star prefers bad boys and is very aggressive with men.

Three years ago while on set of the film Love HappensJennifer Aniston had a brief fling with the film's grip, Brian Bouma. For some reason Bouma has waited until now to come forward and spill the beans about his short relationship with Aniston and her apparent man-eating ways. Who Is Jennifer Aniston Dating?

Bouma told Star Magazine that Aniston pursued him rather aggressively and that being with her "was an overwhelming experience," adding: "I just want to set the record straight, she's not the person people think she is."

Well, a lot of people seem to think Aniston is lonely and not too far from becoming a creepy cat lady. According to Bouma, that's just not true. Is Jennifer Aniston Preparing To Stay Single For Good?

"All that's written about her being lonely is just ridiculous," he told Star. "I didn't spend time with Jen because she was famous or successful. I've been down that road before. It usually mean trouble with a capital T. It was because of the conversation that first time we spoke. She's genuine, sincere and charismatic."

The part about Aniston being genuine and sincere and charismatic isn't hard for us to believe. What did surprise us, though, is that she apparently broke up with Bouma for being too nice. Evolution Favors Bad Boys Over Nice Guys

"I guess she just wasn't that into me," he said. "She did tell me that I was too 'Mr. Pure.' She kind of made me feel and act like a young school boy."

And while Bouma isn't upset with Aniston for ending things (uh, 3 years ago), we're sure he's disappointed that things ended between him and the superstar. He thinks she only likes bad boys, though, and he just didn't fit the bill. That would explain the whole John Mayer thing, wouldn't it? We could spend all day psychoanalyzing Aniston and her dating habits since Brad Pitt left her, but we won't. Maybe this really is a case of an independent, happy woman who knows what she wants out of her relationships and doesn't feel bad tossing guys aside when they're just too nice to her. 5 Love Lessons We Can Learn from Jennifer Aniston
