    One could easily pick apart her appearance if one wanted to be petty.

    But I'm pretty sure most pretty women have this problem, however, they don't use it as an excuse to interfere with their lives.

    She just wants to live off mom and dad.

    the only reason anyone picked apart her appearance, is because she said she is too pretty. Had she not said that and someone else said it about her, it would have been different. I'm not saying its right. I'm just saying she made herself look ugly by having such an "in yo face" ugly attitude.

    Oh I agree. I just think that by criticizing her appearance, we lower ourselves to the same shallow plain of existence she lives on.

    I'm choosing to rise above it. "Petty" might have been too strong of a word. I'm emotional today! *contemplates more chocolate*
    I think the issue is that while she is not an unattractive woman, her ego is very inflated. She looks like most women look who at least take some care in their appearance. I work with women much more beautiful than the woman pictured. My old boss modeled when she was a teenager and it's not difficult to see her as a model. She's drop-dead gorgeous and a very wonderful person on top of that.

    I think it's appropriate to comment on this woman's lack of "too pretty" when she's using it as an excuse not to find a job. I just don't see it. Maybe it's the clown makeup keeping her from getting hired, though -- which is something she can actually change easily.

    Well (and not to say that she has any knowledge of this site or will ever see this thread) but my point is that she claims that aside from men hitting on her, she can't work because of the comments of "jealous" women. Therefore, criticizing her is further enabling her delusion that her beauty is above and beyond all others and is impairing her life in some way.

    Yes, she is inviting criticism, but likewise, she uses that criticism to perpetuate her fantasy and feeds off the negative attention.

    To those who say that she isn't pretty, I would like some clarification. Would you say she is just average than? I wouldn't think she is average looking nor ugly after watching the video... I wish I had her legs!

    goes to show for the most part Men only have one choice in life do for themselves, Women have two choices do for themselves or have someone else do it for you.

    yes, a choice. That doesn't mean we all take advantage like that. Some of us bust *kitten*, too. :wink:

    Plenty of men have someone do for them, too.

    Quote from the comments that sums it up my feelings pretty well:

    "According to this article, she spends £5800 per month on rent/bills/clothes/shoes/handbags/hair/socialising. No mention is made of food costs, so lets be real generous and round that to £6000 per month. To get £6000 take home per month you need to be earning approx £120,000 pa. Yet, she only quit her £30,000 pa job. I'm calling shenanigans. I reckon (opinion) she found it easier living off her parents than trying to live within her means."

    Good point.

    For the record, I may envy other women's beauty, but I'm never jealous. I'm surrounded by beautiful women in my life -- really, really beautiful women. And I love them to bits.

    I'd like to thank her for quitting her job in scientific research, so someone truly hard-working and dedicated to making the world a better place could get a job.

    Also, I see lots of people of MFP every day that are just as good-looking or even better looking than she is.

    Maybe she wouldn't be as pretty if she didn't spend almost 2000 euros a month on being a waste of life.

    I love you.

    Yeah...lazy!! I've seen this before and there's definitely nothing pretty about her attitude. Her looks aren't even that impressive for that mentality. I think it's another pathetic excuse not to work.
    ...She said it, not me : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2327173/The-woman-claims-pretty-job-Graduate-hounded-sex-pests-jealous-females.html


    She is very pretty, more so in the video than in the pics.


    I would like to express my sympathy to the very pretty people in this world.



    Your thoughts, please. Be sure to read the readers comments below.

    Is there such thing as TOO ugly to work?

    I wonder how people would react to a girl who was TOO ugly to work... (who freeloads off her rich parents)

    That is the worst excuse ever.

    It might work for me, but jeez, who does she think she is?

    I don't even think I am THAT pretty.... but I get comments all the time that I must be a bad mom from the women in my office (single working mom to a one and two year old). Because no single mom EVER was in great shape and had a great carrier and a personal life who also was a good mom.... its just too hard to comprehend.. therefore... I must be slacking at being a mom.

    Does anyone see Michael Jackson in that video?

    hahaha! Beat me to it. I saw this article/video over a month ago and my very first thought was "She resembles Michael Jackson!"

    Wow, that is horrible. I hope you bit back at the women saying this to you to shut them up.

    Maybe she should get a job working in the media or the fashion industry or something like that....its all about perspective. Since women are still very outnumbered in certain industries, I suspect its really not that hard to be the hottest chick in the science lab

    If she worked among lots of attractive women, I'm sure she'd be pouting that she wasn't getting enough attention!!

    As someone who works in male-dominated industry, I'd like to ask this girl to take several seats. Your reasonings for not wanting to wok are embarrassing!

    I am by no means claiming to be the prettiest girl in the world (so please don't attack me) , but I get called pretty a lot. I'm only saying that to give my statement a little framing. One thing men I've met say they admire about me is my intelligence and ability to work hard. I go to work and bust my butt just as hard as the next person. Do I find some dudes leering at me creepily in the corporate cafeteria? Yes. Do I feel that I'm hit on by senior men at my firm. HELL YES, but I'm not running around whining about it and using it as an excuse to not work.

    Why? Because my career is about ME and I would never let the actions of men or jealous females derail all of my hard work. Grow up or just own up to the fact that you're lazy and want a rich man to take care of you.

    Ok, rant over.

    Isn't worth it.. I just have become insular.. I come and go as I please because I am pretty high up in the company... and don't talk to anyone outside of my departmental circle.

    Can't you people see what is really going on here?

    She is trying to "stir the pot", so to speak (actually, trying to tip it over and spill everything...on purpose, to see if we all lick it up). There are people who feel compelled to say certain things. It's a quirk of the brain. She admits that she has a behavioral/emotional processing disorder in the video. You have to read between the lines, but anyone educated in Pschology should be able to see it. people like her want to yell out controversial things and then see how people respond. You all have done exactly what she wants you to do. More often than not, the person does not actually mean everything literally; they are just testing society to see what we believe.

    She is most likely not stupid. just disenchanted with society. She is caught in that catch-22 where she wants to look good, but "hates" the responses. (Secretly she loves them and is addicted.)

    She is good-looking. But personally, I can only look at her for a few seconds before feeling upset, because she looks startlingly similar to a girl I once went out with, but who ended up having a little-to-be-desired personality.

    yes you are right, but that is the EXCEPTION. I am not bashing women at all, it is a good thing to have a choice.

    Based solely on your profile photo, you're prettier than the subject of this thread.

    "I am by no means claiming to be the prettiest girl in the world (so please don't attack me) , but I get called pretty a lot."

    I like this, because I've met some women who feel the same way as you, and heard the exact same line before. As a result, I've made it a practice to never comment on a woman's looks, period...if I want to ever get to know her. Once you do that, you're just another scaly reptile in another person's eyes.
