Women hate me because I'm *too* beautiful

mikeyboy

She is OK....but if she feels she is "all that", then good for her. Her opinion of herself is all that really matters. I must add, that I for one, think Brits are hot!

healthbunny

she looks good for a brit.

uh oh.. pot has been stirred.

Hey! As a Brit, I'm very offended by that. As you can see from my profile pic... oh, actually... sorry, as you were...

Now about that pot... just milk for me please, no sugar.

Being British I hope this is a pot of tea! I'll take mine with lemon, tally ho old chaps

She looks good for her age and even if you dont agree, there is no need to make fun of her teeth and appearance. This is exactly what she is talking about and proves how vicious women can be. She isnt attacking you or putting down you, it seems she was just writing about her experience.

Feeling offended as a Brit here - and no, I don't count myself as beautiful so no sarky comments! :P
I'm pretty certain that every country in the World has beautiful and not beautiful people and if we want to get into American stereotypes, lets just say the words "slim","beautiful" and "clever" don't often score highly!

And a male version has already been done (as a joke response) which is very funny!

And I don't think we deliberately put ugly people on TV. We just don't weed them out to delude ourselves that everyone looks pristine and perfect. We use real people. Shocker!

Clearly you all also proved her point.

Arrogance may not be attractive, but neither is anything else being said about this person in this thread.

Completely agree. A lot of women HATE when they think another woman feels prettier than she actually is (in their opinion). This is blatantly obvious across the entire thread.

agreed & agreed

it's like whenever people detect a hint of arrogance or what we perceive to be over-confidence someone has to go in for the tear-down - put someone in their "place", so to speak

BIGJIMMYU

I know the feeling. Women hate me because I am too beautiful also. ha ha ha!

Besides all this debate, the OP is a "pot stirrer", so you have probably made his day. Unless he is crying somewhere in a corner b/c his thread has been hijacked by logic.

He's a Daily Mail reader, and as such deserves no sympathy!

Must be SOOOOOOO hard being beautiful. I can feel her pain

I think the lady who wrote the article is the biggest pot stirrer of all. She knew what kind of attention it would get her.

And I am not British, I am a southern girl!

She looks better and she's a man!

ctriston

brit here, WAS feeling quite good about my 46 lb weight loss....
bit surprised at tone of comments considering most of us are on here to try and improve ourselves in one way or another.
Think that this women's self promotion has worked...as planned.
sadly in promoting her, we may have made crass comments about each other, teeth, arms weight...interesting to read, a little surprising.

come on guys...
now am off to buy brown paper bag to cover hideous gnashers which I have never noticed, but clearly must have, ...anyway beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

It's not jealously. Even if she was hideous I would still be annoyed by the fact that she assumes to know what other women think about her and that she doesn't even feign self-reflection in order to consider that maybe her looks aren't the only reason she's reviled. It's a poor attitude to have, no matter who you are.

And as for all the stereotyping going on on this thread... why bother getting upset? Either the person doesn't actually mean it and were joking, or they are too ignorant to realize that they are stereotyping (and that stereotyping is generally wrong or hurtful) and they have a whole other set of problems that need to be worked out. Let's all grow up a little, yeah?

This is really true also! This article sums a lot of things up well:

http://jezebel.com/5898848/yes-samantha-brick-is-obnoxious-but-the-daily-mail-is-trolling-us-all

In it, they say: "It basically screams, "HERE, TROLLS! DON'T YOU HATE THIS AWFUL *****? LOOK, SHE THINKS SHE'S BETTER THAN YOU BUT SHE ISN'T EVEN PRETTY!"

I thought that was such an interesting point.

i was thinking torchwood, mighty boosh, skins (british version), the one with the kids that get superpowers when struck by lightening.... dammit, i forget the name, i'd remember if any of their shows lasted LONGER THAN 3 SEASONS.... wth is with that? soon as I get into it they cancel the show.... oh, found it! Misfits! And Being Human!

i love british tv

The actors in Torchwood aren't meant to be attractive, apart from gwen, but I don't like her :L The actors in skins and misfits are meant to look like normal teenagers rather than polished 25 year old actors playing kids. Skins has 6 seasons so far. Torchwood has had 5 now, which is good going for a spin off.

Hummm. Shameless is great and no one in that is attractive :L

laurenkoszola

^^this is awesome! I can't look at it without laughing hysterically! :laugh:

Ayeshat

Wow I didn't think british TV was seen.... well outside Britain.. love misfits!... which is saying something coz there's not really much eye candy there admittedly lol

ErinBeth7

My favorite comment from her article....

Is this an article written for April 1st? Unbelieveable! If it is serious, and the DM have actually paid for this load of pap, then I have a message to Samantha - Get over yourself dear, you're actually a lot less attractive than you evidently think you are. No doubt this will be explained away because I'm jealous, fat and ugly. -- JeannieJeannie, France, 3/4/2012 0:07

uh oh.. pot has been stirred.

crap, i was afraid someone was going to go there... it's true, unfortunately, cept for MFP, I have lots of hot brit friends on MFP.

I think brits purposely put the ugly women on TV.... although i don't know why..... theories?

Omg! I don't think so... And I watch a few British Shows... Merlin, Doctor Who... Well ok, only two right now (besides Top Gear that has no female stars)...

Oh and Robin Hood (though I caught that at the end of the third series)...

zoedallas

I don't think she's conceited. I think she's just stating fact.

You don't have to have model looks to be considered beautiful by the everday people around you. And you ARE treated differently based on your looks. Women tend to treat you like dirt and men tend to treat you better.

Just the facts of life.

They are not as obsessed with qualifying people (mainly women) on appearance alone?

ooo me likey!

mixedfeelings

Well although I found that woman to be distinctly average looking and but her article makes her ugly on here are very rude about Brits.

As a Brit who at 30 has no dental cavities I'm offended, just because we aren't big on veneers but really aren't they just the same as fake boobs? Plus they make people look like horses. Plus a great number of people in the U.S. are of British descent anyway.

Meh, people wouldn't harp on Brits so much for "having bad teeth" if they came to the backwoods of our own country where there are so many chemicals and minerals in the drinking water that peoples teeth are stained brown... I know quite a few people with "brown" teeth and it wasn't completely for a lack of dental hygiene (though that definitely contributed)...

Yeah, I don't often see people from the US with the normal slightly off-colour, always bright white and completely straight, apart from on Jerry Springer, than I see some really bad teeth. I suppose it's just what you get to see of another culture. When I was in Florida, everyone I saw had similar teeth to us Brits. Never knew where the bad teeth thing came from, I always wondered if it was a circulated propaganda because we have free dental care.

If there are more than a few exceptions to the rule.. then the rule is crap.... and quite a chunk of the british population is overweight

I'm just relaying my observations. There are less overweight people as a percentage there then there are here. I think the stats bear this out.

Depends what part of Britain you were in, no where near as much obesity as America but sadly Scotland has the highest levels of obesity in Europe ):

Unfortunately, I never made it to Scotland. I would have loved to go because I find the accent attractive and I have roots there.

Of course, the obesity level of Americans also varies by location. It's a big country. I live in the supposed fittest metropolitan area in the country and obesity is still a pretty big problem.

I'm thinking people in general probably loathe her because she's a pretentious bint, but okay.

Femtec74

I don't judge beauty from the outside.

kimr41

I seen this article this morning and thought same thing ... she is pretty but far from too beautiful

navstone

The word narcissist comes to mind for me

We have BBC America over here... and what's funny is we get to watch the British Version AND the American version of such shows as Being Human, the Office... and I think one called Agents (or something like that.... Anthony Head was in both versions, I'm sure after his Tenure in Merlin was over)...
