sometimes retired frat boys put it best....

From unidentified frat boy:

i think marilyn monroe represents instability
 and jackie represents stability
marilyn is a hot sexy chick, not necessarily ditzy, but someone who captivates you
and shrinks your perspective so that you are consumed with her
she is dangerous
 makes you feel like you are skirting the edge
but for this reason i think guys are afraid of her
maybe they don't believe they can have a real relationship with a person like that
so they necessarily view it as temporary
whereas with jackie
 they understand her as a person and can fit her into their world
and they feel in control
 and that allows them to have a real, long term future with her
maybe
 then it would take a stronger kind of guy to handle a marilyn
 because marilyn must be tamed and brought under control
by which the guy can feel safe with her
and envision a future with her
so it is a battle between his ability to control someone and move them into his world view
and marilyn's unconventionality and personality
