Even the fine one's struggle...

Halle Berry has left yet another man. After trouble with David Justice and Eric Benet, she figured she had it all figured out--I'm going white guy. Even had a baby with him. Turns out that wasn't the greatest move either.

Ms. Berry has had very public and well chronicled issues with men--to the point that she has a "disorder" named after her: "Halle Berry Syndrome." HBS is when a woman that is from all measurements a 10--she looks good, she smells good--but can't keep a man. Getting a man? No problem. KEEPING that muthafucka? Not so much.

Sure each man had his quirks. Justice beat her. Benet was either too freaky, unfaithful or both. Who knows what the issue was with white boy. Bottom line is one kid later, she's not with him. Which begs the question--is it really Halle or is it the men?

In all likelihood there is plenty of blame to go around. But HBS can be easily cured by simply "recognizing the regular."

As a society we tend to extraordinary-fy beauty. Because someone looks good, they must be awesome. They must be smart. They must be great in bed. They must have money. When really they're just "regular" only more generally attractive. Based on my completely unscientific, based on absolute nothing analysis, relationships with people who have wide ranges of attractiveness tend to work out pretty well. Seal and Heidi Klum are the prime example. While I have no idea if this is true, Seal probably had a moment where he was like "damn I'm dating a VS model" but for the most part, she was just Heidi. And Klum probably picked up that vibe and recognized Seal not for the famous singer he was but for just a really nice guy--just not really as hot as she is.

And herein lies the crux of HBS. People with HBS tend to seek their equals. In Halle's case she wants someone just as beautiful or just as famous. But in order to defeat HBS, she'll need to get someone uglier or broker, or more emotionally fucked up than she is (or might be--assuming she is after several failed relationships). Having someone just as cute, as smart, as paid, as freaky, as whatever-across-the-board doesn't work. It's why people date others older/younger than them--the experience difference matters. It's why you see ugly dudes with fly chicks, or lames with people who are hot--basically its the old premise that you can't have yin without yang.

So my message to you Ms. Berry (other than call me), is find a man who isn't quite...you. I mean the white guy was a model--he already thinks he's prettier than you. Then it comes out he's callin you "nigger bitch" and says his daughter isn't Black--I mean what did you expect from a model? Get yourself a background singer. A bench player. An actor who had a secondary role. A nigga who made a cameo. An accountant for goodness sakes. Take it down a notch.

And the same for you other sufferers of HBS. Get a dumb guy or an ugly guy or an ugly dumb guy, or an attractive dumb guy with a huge dick. Suck it up and admit someone might be smarter than you and go after them. Will you hate the fact you really can't hold a conversation with him longer than 5 minutes? Sure. Will you dislike the looks you'll get as you walk with him like "WTF?" Hells yes! But will your relationship last and last? You bet.
