Meanwhile other women cannot get a man to commit to exclusivity, not to mention marriage?
What is it about certain women that make men so quick to "wife them down", meanwhile other women are plagued by players and commitment phobes.
I've wondered about this phenomenon off and on, and seeing this story today made me wonder (yeah I know it has some Jerry Springer ish, but still 5 times!!!)..
As you can see from this article, sometimes it's not any of the above... Then again, all participants look like their local version of our "white trash."

But then isn't neediness supposed to be a turn off to men?
No, it's not! That's what they claim. Sort of like women claiming they want the "nice" guys when they really don't. I've been appalled overhearing the kinds of things many married men do for their wives or what kind of behavior of theirs they consider acceptable! I'd be ashamed!
I read an interesting opinion in some book - that men stay with the women they "invest" in, and that's not about money per se. They don't get that attached to those of us who can take care of ourselves. Hey, should we go our separate ways, we'll continue taking care of ourselves... no biggie... They can't leave "the poor soul" who "needs" them and can't breathe without them!
Don't think being proposed multiple times is a blessing, though. Often it's curse!
I know I'll get a lot of flack for most of this, but I'm used to it and don't care.
I've been proposed to by three different men. I'm not quite sure how being proposed to would equate to me being needy... Hmmm... I don't think I'm needy.

I certainly didn't mean to say that every woman who's proposed to is needy. I just think a lot of men truly prefer needy/helpless damsels in distress.
Maybe she is a (full of empty promises) husband collector?
or maybe she is a good "politician" - she knows how to BS...
What's there to collect...? Rotten teeth? At least Zha Zha Gabor knew what she was doing! "I'm a great housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house."
I hate to think of what 5 weddings would cost. It could well be neediness on the part of the guys as well as on her part. The article mentioned that her second husband was a last minute stand in for the real fiance that fled shortly before the wedding. I can't imagine any guy with self respect agreeing to that.

I agree with you. I just didn't understand where she drew that conclusion in the OP.
I did a show with this girl that really played up the damsel in distress act. None of the girls could stand her and most of the guys saw no problem with her. Well - they saw no problem with her until her narcissism and self-centeredness became to much of an issue to ignore!
