John Mayer: "I'm the A--hole" for Breaking Up With Jennifer Aniston

John Mayer isn't proud of the way things ended with Jennifer Aniston.
"I've never really gotten over it," he tells the latest issue of Rolling Stone. "It was one of the worst times of my life."
Take a look back at Jen and John's most romantic moments
The singer, 32, first got cozy with the actress, 40, in April 2008 after spending five sexy days together in Miami, but went on to split twice -- most recently last January, in which he held an impromptu press conference with paparazzi outside his NYC gym to, as he hints, take the blame for the breakup with America's sweetheart.
"I'm the asshole," he says. "I burned the American flag. I basically murdered an ideal."

Instead of moving on, Mayer -- who also famously romanced the perpetually single Jessica Simpson -- says he's stuck on the ones he's already dated.
"All I want to do now is f--- the girls I’ve already f---ed, because I can’t fathom explaining myself to somebody who can’t believe I’d be interested in them," he says about his frustration with dating non-celebrities. "I’m too freaked out to meet anybody else."
In fact, when he is meeting new people, his old flames pop into his head.
See Jen Aniston's hot on-set PDA!
"I met a girl one time in Vegas. Her name was Dimples, and the 's' in Dimples was adollar sign," he tells Rolling Stone. "I have this weird feeling, a pride thing, for the people I’ve had relationships with. I still feel like I’m with them, in the sense that if I f---ed Dimples, what does that say about someone like Jen? I feel like it’s all connected. How could I ever cosmically relate these two people?"
He adds: "What would I be saying to Jen, who I think is f---ing fantastic, if I said to her, ‘I don’t dislike you. In fact, I like you extremely well. But I have to back out of this because it doesn’t arc over the horizon. This is not where I see myself for the rest of my life, this is not my ideal destiny,’ and then I see myself f***ing Dimples? What does that say for my case?”
Tell Us What You Think
397You not an a@@hole for breaking up with Jen, Your just an a@@hole period....please go the f@@k away already
And I thought Jen. Aniston was the sick one
How the hell does this dope keep getting air time. He's an axxhole full stop!
OK so he don't like black chicks but he'll tongue kiss Perez Hilton?! Seriously!!! How many of you straight guys out there would tongue kiss Perez Hilton?
For a dude that writes cheesy love songs has he ever really loved anyone?
I think John's comments are very insightful...I am glad he tells it like it is. Is this not how we all talk to our friends when we are discussing our relatioinships. It's like Paul Newman said about his wife Joanne Woodward, "Why would I want a hamburger when I have prime steak at home." Major insight into how much respect John has for Jennifer Aniston.
Wow - what happened to this guy? Given, he is an amazing songwriter. Perhaps it's because he's a little looney that he is able to draw from all this 'raw emotion'...or some artistic crap like that. However, there are plenty of songwriters and singers out there who have had hardships in their lives (much harder than just decided whether to 'do' Dimples) and they have tact...they have class...they also keep their mouths shut. Sorry, but apparently, this guy is one something lately that isn't working well for him. I suggest getting off the 'crack' and getting back to what made you a great songwriter. Good luck.
John Mayer is a complete idiot. I really despise his music. He is nothing but a doggie dog. John you need to lay off the drugs because you need every brain cell(what little you have to begin with).
this guy is a complete idiot. He needs to stick to singing only.
good god, he is such a scumbag.
I think John Mayer is Awesome. It about time a male celebrity is actually truthful about his life. I'm sick of the (don't offend anyone) type of talking. At least he isn't scared of what people will think of him. Every person, let alone celebrity, has their own problems about themselves and John is just one who doesn't mind telling the world. I never remember him saying he wants to be everyone's role model so let him be himself. I respect his actions.
I have always loved John's music and thought it was very heartfelt. He is an extremely talented musician, singer and songwriter. However, I have now lost all respect for him. Who wants to hear about how many women he has been with and that he only wants to have sex with women he knows. He is making a big mistake to be discussing this in public and will pay for it. No one wants to hear his comments about his sex life. John, you need to grow up and learn to keep things to yourself. It only makes you look foolish. How could anyone want to date you after reading what you have said? I bought the Rolling Stone Magazine for my daughter (a big fan) and when I read what you said in it, I was totally appalled. You need to look up the meaning of the word "humbleness" in the dictionary because you could certainly stand to find out what that means. I don't care how talented you are, it does not give you a right to go off the deep end and say this crap about people you have been with. People liked your music and lyrics (they had feeling). With what you have said now, I along with thousands of people have no respect for you. Shame on you!
I can't believe those crazy, mad, guitar skills came out of this A-holes big yap. His interview in Us mag. proves this bone-head is no fluke. Grow up !
you are one very screwed up guy! GET OVER YOURSELF YOUR ULGY!!!!!!!!!
What a flippin PIG!!!!!
He is such a smug loser.He should be honored jen or Jessica would even smile in his direction.
Yawn. Ugly (inside and out)... boring... cheesy tattoo... makes constant bizarre statements to get press. Cheesy fake lyrics/vocals. 14.8... 14.9... your 15 is just about up!
He is such a nobody! Ugh, I cannot imagine what Jen saw in him in the first place. I find NOTHING sexy about him. I think he needs to go and f..k Dimples because if I were a 'starlet' in Hollywood, I would have nothing to do with him. He needs to go out and look for all the "Dimples" he can get...LOL
What the f is wrong with him? I wish this tool would shut his big a$$ yapper!
Think it says you're a tool.
