<p>I think it’s hilarious.</p>
<p>After some thought, the best response I can come up with is “Ew.” Not only do I not think she is THAT beautiful, I can’t IMAGINE having the gall to actually write this, much less where people can see it. I really don’t think I’d have a problem with this woman if I met her on the street until she opens her mouth.</p>
<p>Sigh…I know just how she feels. It is a BURDEN for me.</p>
<p>I seem to have a missing filter in determining whether women are actually beautiful. Two male co-workers recently told me that they had a thing for the same former co-worker. I was stunned because I thought she was quite plain. The woman in the article doesn’t strike me as particularly gorgeous either. </p>
<p>I hope I have a good eye for attractive men, thought!</p>
<p>Somehow I expected her to be more drop-dead than that. She looks like a lot of women I know.</p>
<p>Completely agree with Ema. She is pretty ordinary looking based on her pictures, but pictures do not tell the entire story. Is it possible that it is a combo of her flirtatious behavior and her looks that draws men to her?</p>
<p>Musica - ROFL!</p>

What a shallow person. I’m thinking that the problem isn’t her looks.</p>
<p>Weird. I’m definietly not seeing the attraction - although I did get a kick out of some of the comments. </p>
<p>Now, if this came from the Onion, I could write it off as satirical…</p>
<p>Omg…she must be delusional. It’s not that’s she unattractive. It’s that people she describes don’t exist in real life, maybe in soap operas. Or maybe one or two, but not universally and so many just her orbit. In one event she claims the photographer wanted her to front and center of a bday party picture, then a women yelled at her in front of everyone, so she started crying and a friends said everyonenis just sooo jealous.</p>
<p>Please. I have a very pretty tall blond friend whommen love. She just has that wide open smile, is charming, etc. But no one hated her for it.</p>
<p>This author, tho in denial, must be really obnoxious in person. Seems everyone in her world is jealous of her, suuuuurreeeee.</p>
<p>It gets harder when one has wrinkles and white hair. (I would know! :))</p>

<p>Was it written April 1? That would make sense. The date is the second, but I think it was an April Fool’s joke.</p>
<p>I kept waiting for a punchline at the end of the article. She’s not hideous, but she’s certainly not someone I would look at and think, “oh, she’s pretty!” I believe that personality has a lot to do with how ones beauty or good looks is perceived. When I was a staff nurse at the hospital, one of the neurosurgeons there was the best-looking man I’d ever seen … until he opened his mouth. People whom I have found to be quite ordinary in looks have become much more attractive after speaking with them or seeing how they react to certain things. Beauty has just as much to do with who you are on the inside as it does with how you look on the outside. Carry on, beautiful people! :)</p>
<p>She’s a one-percenter by English standards, but not by California standards. That doesn’t change the truth of her situation.</p>
<p>One of my 10th grade daughter’s good friends gets cards, flowers, and chocolates from 10-20 different boys every Valentine’s day. She has to deal with the same issues. There is competition for her presence and her attention, sometimes aggressively demanded. People who wear that halo of super-attractiveness, both male and female, live a very different life than most of us.</p>
<p>I thought (hoped) this was an April Fools’ article at first. Yikes</p>
<p>Is this a parody article?</p>
<p>The people that are attractive have attractive personalities - and you overlook imperfections because you see the person and not the image. I didn’t find the subject of the article particularly attractive but I haven’t seen her personality. After reading the article, though, I’m not sure that I would want to see it.</p>
<p>All those guys that gave her stuff - are guys that can afford to do that sort of thing really that desperate?</p>
<p>Agree with Magnetron…perhaps the author could vacation in places like California and Arizona, so she wouldn’t be pestered by anyone who thought she was more attractive than normal.</p>
<p>Don’t hate me because of this post…But when I was young and thin, I was also considered attractive. I placed in the state beauty pageant and in high school was the homecoming queen (which of course points to my fabulous personality, lol). Anyway, I thought looks kind of scared people away. MAYBE it was my personality?</p>
<p>I did have a guy give me an necklace and he also shaved his sideburns in the shape of my first initial. I thought that was kind of creepy.</p>
<p>forgive me, but I think she looks a lot like John Edward’s mistress, and a little like, er, Miss Piggy. ;)</p>
<p>I will say she does look younger than her age, I’ll give her that…</p>
<p>she laments she hasn’t been asked by friends to be a bridesmaid because they don’t want to be overshadowed. um, okay, could it be they don’t like you well enough??</p>
<p>LOl! MD Mom, Were you like Izzy on Grey’s Anatomy? Used her modeling money to pay for med school?</p>
