Twitter Storm - Samantha Brick - Why Women Hate Beautiful Women
Kelda:
Would be interested in your views on this..
Journalist Samantha Brick provoked an internet storm on Wednesday (3 April) by suggesting other women hate her “for no other reason than my lovely looks.”

My take on purely what the article says, well, I think her problem is more personality than looks .. but maybe I'm just jealous!?
Some interesting takes by other journalists:

Yeah, I saw the article yesterday and I saw a picture of her. I think she is just average looking at best, and I am not jealous of her. The woman is delusional, but then again, as my dad always said, "It is a mighty poor frog that won't praise its own pond." If she has so much self-esteem (I guess I can call it that) to think women are jealous of her looks, and so beautiful that men spoil her, well, more power to her. ::)
I wonder what she thinks about truly beautiful women like Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway. I mean, does she actually look in the mirror and thinks she can hold a candle to them? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but c'mon!
Jeff Wrangler:
There is certainly nothing new in the concept of women disliking other women because of their looks. Years ago there was a TV commercial, I think for some brand of shampoo, with a woman spokesperson and the tag line, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
Until this came along, I'd never heard of Samantha Brick, or seen her or a picture of her. I'd call her no more than commonly good looking.

She has based her argument on a false premise. She is not all that good looking to begin with. She is alright, but certainly not
even close to beautiful..
She has for another point in her disfavor, falsely appraised her attractiveness.
She has forgotten to mention this as an argument in their favor.
It would be the same thing if Ann Coulter tried to make this same premise. But if you consider both of their attractiveness, ..Ann wins.
She is disliked not because of her looks, but because she is such a prig. Abusive, and unbending.
Maybe Ms. whatshername should look closer in the mirror, and then make her arguments.. Or better yet, maybe she should
do some work on her attitude, and personality around others.

I don't think she's ugly but I'd say she's average looking with a decent body.. I think her snotty personality may be the problem!
