Like Other Girls

So, it's no secret that I have a pretty hard time staying single, or that most of my friends are male.
This week, though, I realized that I could definitely be doing worse.
There is a girl who's neighbor mentioned to me at one point that he was constantly hearing loud music and, er, other noises out of her room. I am friends with two very nice men who she's, well, she doesn't use the word date, as she prefers to stay available. Both of whom have seemed hurt enough in retrospect when they were let down by her in the long run.
I sit back, and watch this girl go through man after man, seeing her with 4 guys in a week at times, and wonder: What is it she's remaining available for???
I'm not one to judge, and I don't assume that every man a girl spends time with is a sexual partner or anything of the sort- in this case, though, I just wonder what it is, exactly, that I'm missing. While I don't like the thought/feeling of being single, this girl is at the opposite extreme, in a way, and seems to almost devour men who care about her. How do you not get attached? What is it you wait for through so much? Am I missing the point completely?

Maybe my heart is just too soft for people, but I just couldn't live this way. It worries and confuses me.
