Must be nice to have that much self confidence I guess?

[ZaraSizeMedium]

In fairness to her it’s nice to see a woman ageing naturally without a face full of fillers, Botox and those Turkey tic tac teeth.

I wish I could go back in time and give my 21 year old self a dose of her self confidence.

[JaneJeffer]

I came across her male equivalent the other day

[JaneJeffer]

She looks Botoxed to me @ZaraSizeMedium

[JanetPluchinsky]

I love her. I’ve had a bit to do with her as I volunteered for one of her columns (total bullshit but huge fun, and the DM photoshoot with the wrap dress and nude heels are a hoot).

She’s dead right with what she’s saying, it’s seen as misplaced vanity as a woman of a certain age to have confidence in your looks, and the response to her article said it all.

Most people never read past the headline.

He doesn't look attractive to me...

Receding hairline
Pretty much average bloke on no 11 bus (it is a decent route)

[IncompleteSenten]

I don't understand why she feels the need to attack other women. She thinks she's stunning. Good for her. I'm glad she sees herself that way.
It's just a shame she feels the need to put other women down in order to make herself feel better.

[Wagsandclaws]

I think she's funny, it's tongue in cheek I'm sure of it. Yes I think she has lots of confidence and maybe that's really not a bad thing.

She looks better now than she did ten years ago ( her hair suits her more ) I think she knows that she's not model stunningly beautiful but she has confidence and that's attractive.

I'm a year younger than her and wish I had as much confidence ( I'm a size 16/18 so she wouldn't consider me to be attractive I suppose ) she's very focused on staying trim though and I'm a firm believer that lots of people of all sizes can be beautiful in their own way.

[MsTSwift]

I think it’s quite refreshing actually better than tedious self deprecation we are supposed to do. Dh went to college with a woman who is insanely self confident if she was every rejected from a job or an audition (she was a professional singer) she would explain it was purely because the interviewers were jealous of her 😁

[IncompleteSenten]

Again, the bloke. Looks fine. Perfectly average looking. Not a god and not a gargoyle. I doubt it's his looks that put women off though. People who think they are amazing are hard work.

But I doubt either of these people believe what they say so much as enjoy pocketing a bit of cash.

[thecatsthecats]

I read that she very much went into the original article knowing full well she'd be ridiculed, but desperately needed the money for IVF.

If she has the mental resilience to get money by deliberately being trashed then good for her.

[ComDummings]

It seems like she can’t write an article on being sooooo beautiful without being rude about other women. So she is more insecure than she lets on.

[Kddie]

Maybe if we persist in ignoring her she will go away

[myusernamewastakenbyme]

Her arrogance is deeply unattractive.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

She's bonkers - and very ordinary looking. I look like a dog's dinner, btw, so it's just her arrogance I'm judging really,

[FOJN]

The tone of this article starts off slightly differently to her offerings ten years ago but ends up the same. She thinks women don't like her because she's beautiful but she's completely mistaken. I disagree with a PP that people think her confidence is misplaced vanity. Women don't like her because in her head she is constantly in competition with them for male attention. She compares her looks to those of other woman constantly throughout the article and reports all the positive male attention she's received. Most women find this kind of thing tedious, we want to make friends not be competing. Far from being confident she comes across as deeply insecure which is a shame because she does look good.

[GivenchyDahhling]

This - like the first article - is clearly written with tongue firmly in cheek. She knows exactly what she’s doing. She looks perfectly lovely and it’s silly to pretend any different. It amazes me how many people seem to miss the joke though and would rather “hate”.

I don't hate her and I don't think she's joking.

May God grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man. Amen.

[Beamur]

She does look better than she did 10 years ago. Darker hair suits her.

[viques]

Is “slip a couple of extra lemons into my basket” a French thing or a euphemism?

[latriciamcneal]

She's very strange. Most men find me attractive (doesn't take much to be fair but I am an attractive woman) but women don't hate me! I think these articles are just her way of justifying why she has no friends, oh must be cause I'm so attractive. She's not even that attractive.

That is hilarious.

[Maireas]

Well, I think she looks good, and quite admire her ability for self promotion. But she does believe that she has a certain power over men that threatens other women and makes them jealous, which is the weird part. If blokes fall all over you, slip you extra lemons (!), give your flowers, fine. Just don't think that every other woman is your enemy because of it.
