Kidman: Men Aren't Beating Down the Door
Yahoo! News ^ | June 30, 2004 | Associated Press

Posted on 07/01/2004 1:05:32 PM PDT by BluegrassScholar

Being a single mother makes it difficult to find a mate —even when you're Nicole Kidman.

"I'm hoping to meet someone and be happy with them. But that's not as easy as it sounds. I'm a 37-year-old woman with two children. Men aren't beating a path to my door," she said in an interview published Wednesday in the latest issue of Now magazine.

"I don't want to sound like a woman from a lonely hearts club and I don't want to advertise. The children are my priority. I take them around with me — movies or baseball games or local shows — and that's not so appealing for any new man on the scene, is it?" she said.

The Oscar-winning star of "The Hours" has been single since breaking up with rock star Lenny Kravitz (news) earlier this year.

She denied rumors that she might get back together with ex-husband Tom Cruise (news), with whom she split in 2001. The pair share custody of their children, 11-year-old Isabella and 9-year-old Connor.

"That whole part of my life is over and done with. We'll always be in contact because of our children," she said. "But I'm single and there's no one out there for me at the moment."

Kidman, who recently starred in a remake of "The Stepford Wives," also wanted to dash speculation that she's suffering from an eating disorder. She has looked painfully thin in recent photographs, but said her hairstyle was to blame.

"I've been wearing it up a lot lately and that seems to make my face look smaller and make my body look even thinner," she explained. "When I wear it down ... then my boy-like figure looks a little fuller. That's the only explanation I can come up with."

I didn't realize everyone on this thread is an Adonis.

You're right. It's a burden we often forget because of its crushing weight upon us.

Either her grammar is weak, or she is into some really kinky stuff.

"Crushing weight upon us" is probably a more accurate description than "Adonis" here on FR. (I did lose 30 lbs of that crushing weight on South Beach diet though.)

Maybe she'd get some calls if she'd do something with her hair.

There was a rumor here that Shephard Smith was dating her. Wonder what happened with that.

He mentioned the G-Block.

>>She doesn't even look good.

Completely agree. Obviously others think she is pretty, but I just don't see the attraction.

She looks good to me. But I'm already married.

I'm very disappointed that this thread does not contain a few more pictures.

"say what you want about her character, you guys have to admit she is a classic beauty."

I find it funny that women believe that. The women who put out People and other magazines apparently do, that's for sure. She's attractive and certainly cuts a nice appearance, but she definitely isn't my type.

Regards,
LH

When somebody like Kidman says "I can't find a man", what she really means is "I can't find a wealthy and/or famous man". Yes, there are a goodly number of guys on FR who would not mind going out with her -- that does not mean she would return your call.

A few years back I was running an online dating service and had a chance to study the phenomenon: the reason why so many women are single is because none of the guys who might be interested in them "meet their standards", and all of the guys who THEY might be interested in, have better choices than them

Have you seen her at awards shows the past couple of years? I swear she's had some plastic surgery done...it looks like in about ten more years, the corners of her eyelids are going to meet at the back of her head. Maybe she auditioned for "Catwoman" and Halle Berry beat her out, I dunno.

I remember seeing her in "Dead Calm". 18 years old or so, and totally, totally yummy. And, she really can act.
