<p>Seriously, guys?
***?
girls accept other girls to be in their social circles if they are nice enough, not if they are ugly enough!!
And typically, a woman would not get so catty around her husband if other women are not hitting on him !!
… she broke into tears because a girl pushed her over in a photo shoot?? Really, princess?
This woman needs to wake the hell up and start thinking the world does not revolve around her.
And Guess what?
I have a bunch of friends who exactly think that EVERYBODY is staring at them cuz oh they are so pretty. But they are just freakin DELUSIONAL !!</p>
<p>“I will say she does look younger than her age, I’ll give her that…”</p>
<p>I probably either hang out with real beauties, or I am a poor judge of looks - to me she looks exactly her age 
Pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous.</p>
<p>This was on The View, but I was distracted and not paying attention. Now that I’ve seen the pics, well, uh, yeah. Girl, you’re not THAT pretty. But she is attractive and is probably bubbly and that those two traits combined are enough to warrant extra attention. I didn’t read the story. Does she have proof that she wasn’t asked to be a bridesmad because she’s so stunning? Something tells me there is more to that story!</p>
<p>I would never have the gall to write such a thing, even if I thought it.</p>
<p>I was expecting gorgeous…she does have pretty hair, though.</p>
<p>What the heck. She is only 41. She looks 41. …got some major narcissistic tendencies. I didn’t wave to some of my friends in their cars either…I couldn’t see who the heck it was…40’s and declining eyesight go hand in hand.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, my aunt is a lot like this. She’s just turned 50, and while she does look a little bit younger than her age, and while she does have pretty hair, she’s pretty overweight and doesn’t really have the features that most would consider to be particularly attention grabbing-- and she’s got serious attitude in a not-so-flattering way. But she is CONVINCED every man she sees is madly in love with her, and often refuses to go places for fear of being mobbed by her many admirers. Also the type to brag about how she “ONLY did the elliptical for ONE hour today!!!” and to make fake gossip to stir up drama so she can feel important. And of course, she and her children can do no wrong.</p>
<p>It makes me wonder what this woman’s deal is. My aunt was valedictorian at her high school but never went to college or worked until she had to start supporting her kids in her 40s, having divorced after finding out her husband had been having a longterm affair for the duration of their marriage. I would imagine the woman from this article has a much more interesting story than the one she told.</p>
<p>ETA:</p>
<p>Oh here’s a bit of fun. She wrote a follow up. <a href=“Samantha Brick says backlash and bile over yesterday's Daily Mail proves she's right | Daily Mail Online”>Samantha Brick says backlash and bile over yesterday's Daily Mail proves she's right | Daily Mail Online;
<p>I keep going back to her pictures. All I can say is: I WANT HER MIRROR.</p>
<p>I don’t know the person in the article. I have no idea if her problems are real, imagined, or caused by her personality.</p>
<p>However, from my observations, women (maybe men too?) tend to be dismissive and bordeline rude to other women who dare point out that there are problems that are associated with looking good.</p>
<p>This thread reminded me of another conversation on CC. It was something about how someone’s daughter didn’t like how she was always complimented on her looks. I posted that I could relate to the girl (because some posters kept saying it’s not or shouldn’t be an issue), as I feel that looks are just something superficial and not something you want to be complimented for. Some posters were definitely receptive and understanding of what I wrote. There were also people who were borderline rude and very sarcastic, essentially saying it’s as laughable to complain about this as it is to complain about too much money, also pointing out that you can easily correct for these ‘problems’.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t really know what was meant by that (I didn’t bother continuing the argument). I don’t wear make-up or do my hair (besides regular brushing) or use ANY product anywhere. I look the way I look. And I certainly don’t plan to change how I look because of unwanted attention, which brings me to my point.</p>
<p>Women with looks that are considered ‘good’ (by some random, superficial standard) aren’t living in some perfect world. I will speak for myself. I DON’T want attention from men (it is all UNWANTED, unless it comes from a date or a boyfriend). I DON’T want people asking for my number - it makes me REALLY uncomfortable. I DON’T want men I don’t know commenting on my looks or striking up conversations with me. I DON’T want to be laughed at to my face when I mention that I want to have a career in a traditioanlly male field that requires some toughness, because the person who BARELY knows me thinks I come across as soft, undoubteldly, in a large part, because of my features. I love to travel solo, and I won’t stop, but I want to eat in peace and not have waiters in restaurants in other countries hit on me. And worst of all, every time someone shows an interest in me, I DON’T want to guess if it’s because of my personality or my looks. I want to be valued for something real, not for something I find superficial and irrelevant in both myself and others.</p>
<p>So yes, even though I think me and the woman in the article may be very different, I sympathize with her simply because I think when you have an issue stemming from “good looks”, people don’t take you seriously, try to put you down, and don’t really take the time to hear how you feel.</p>
<p>Oh? She’s a natural blonde?</p>
<p>Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder…I would never consider her beautiful. I find her rather plain looking and her features are not all that attractive.</p>
<p>If this article is for real it reminds me of another article a few years back, “Don’t hate me because I am rich.”</p>
<p>It seemed similar to me because both authors assumed other people had a problem with them because of their looks or wealth, and it probably had more to do with their personality.</p>
<p>I would say she’s going to put this down on the list of “boy I wish I hadn’t done THAT.”</p>
<p>Becuase now she’s going to find out it wasn’t her looks, anyway, but the fact that people actually don’t want to be around her. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Some of the nicest, least obnoxious women I know are far more attractive than she is and they have plenty of friends from what I can see.</p>
<p>I agree that the author doesn’t look all that “hot” in the photos, but I think there’s a kernel of truth to what she says.</p>
<p>Some women do take looks into account while making friends and some women DO resent pretty women simply because they are pretty. </p>
<p>In the old days, I lived in an all female dorm. I do remember that each year when the freshmen arrived, there’d be a couple of average or plain girls who would get really upset when they found out their new roommates were beautiful. Within a week SOME of those girls would be complaining about what a b<em>^(c</em> their roommates were and it was painfully apparent that it was a matter of pure jealousy. They just resented the fact that they were taking messages for guys calling their roommates–no cell phones or answering machines back then. Or they were upset because five guys had asked their roommate to Homecoming and nobody had asked them. They’d be ANGRY at their roommate. </p>
<p>One year, the prettiest girl in the freshman class lived on my floor. My roommate was a RA and half the girls on the floor complained about the pretty girl to her. Now, I didn’t find her all that nice myself, but it was still pretty apparent that many of the complaints were prompted in part by the fact that the entire campus–or at least all the males–seemed to know who she was before her things were unloaded from the family car. </p>
<p>I come from a huge extended family. A lot of my cousins attended the same small high school. ONE was drop dead beautiful. Her cousins treated her like dirt. Lots of years later, they are friends and they admit that she really didn’t do anything to cause their resentment. They were simply jealous. </p>
<p>When women are young and single, pretty women tend to befriend other pretty young women. So, if the author has no women friends, there’s something else going on.</p>
<p>But lets not deny the fact that women --especially young women–can get pretty “snarky” towards women who are especially attractive to men. While “Sam” doesn’t look especially pretty in the photos, she may be one of those women who just exude sensuality/ sexuality–the French phrase --I can’t spell it but you know what I mean “that certain something”–and that can cause resentment or jealousy among some women.</p>
<p>Oh, for goodness sakes. I don’t hang with that crowd. There are some very physically attractive people I know and though I am sure that may have garnered them compliments, given them some privileges and gotten them some jealously , it was never a big enough deal to discuss to the extent of that article.</p>
<p>I do think extremely beautiful women can face jealousy in some situations, I just don’t think the OP is beautiful.</p>
<p>My co-worker (about whom I’ve posted before) really is THAT beautiful in her late 40s. She looks early 30s and is movie star gorgeous by any standard. She is a pathological liar and all sorts of miserable, but she really is that beautiful. She doesn’t seem to have suffered from being beautiful, though, maybe the opposite. I think if someone who wasn’t beautiful did the things she does here, that person would have been fired.</p>
<p>Her looks are supposed to have given her an evolutionary advantage.</p>
<p>Really???@@@!!!</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>She should have a chat with MOWC.</p>
<p>Not pretty. At all. I like women, but she is definitely not even in the realm of what I consider to be attractive.</p>
<p>And it’s made SO much worse by that babbling egotistical piece.</p>
<p>So I had to google her. Hope I don’t sound snarky, she’s pleasant looking enough but not a head turner in anyway. Not a stunner like say, Angelina Jolie, who my H thinks is the hottest thing walking on earth. And I am not the slightest bit intimidated or jealous of Angie. In fact, I told my H if he thinks he has a chance with Angie, go for it! With my blessing.</p>
<p>That is such an …unusual article! All those pages, or whatever devoted to that story! What kind of publication is that?</p>
