Mischa Barton gives up on men

Mischa Barton has sworn off men after failing to find a lasting romance.

The blonde beauty has been linked to a string of famous faces since shooting to fame on The O.C., including Cisco Adler, socialite Brandon Davis and British rocker Luke Pritchard.

Now Barton admits her string of failed relationships has put her off dating.

She tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I've given up men. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anyone out there for me. My last three boyfriends haven't worked out, so I'm giving guys a rest for a while. I'm putting all my love, care and attention into my three dogs.

"Don't ask why, but they are a good replacement for men in terms of affection."
