to wonder if this was meant to be an April Fool?

Women hate me for being this beautiful

I mean, WTF? I clicked on the article in interest, fully expecting to see someone genuinely beautiful. However, this woman appears to be ever so slightly deluded. She has wonky eyes, a piggy nose, ugly teeth and an overly large forehead. I am not prone to judging other women for their looks, except, as in this case, when they are judging themselves unfairly.

Do you think the Daily Mail published this article 2 days too late?

Hilarious. She's a deluded nutcase. Conventionally pretty, but not special.

JustHecate · 03/04/2012 08:12

perhaps it's just a bad photo?

She's not ugly or anything, but she's not anything above average in the attractiveness stakes.

However, cockyness and arrogance are both very unattractive qualities. They can make even the most physically beautiful person look bug ugly.

JustHecate · 03/04/2012 08:13

scrolled down.

Perhaps they are all just bad photos.

StripyMagicDragon · 03/04/2012 08:15

I'd say she was pretty. But I do think her attitude is probably what destroys her friendships, rather than looks. It appears that every time she has problems with people, she tells herself (or there is a mysterious stranger telling her) that it's because she's too beautiful.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 03/04/2012 08:17

She isnt spectular, slightly scruched piglike features but not a total moose... But the arrogance if it present in the way the daily fail make out, makes her hideous, can you imagine what it would be like to be around? Im all for self confidence but JEEEEZ love a dose of humility would not go amiss

Megatron · 03/04/2012 08:17

She's a bit plain and kind of insipid looking really. My mum would have said she has 'boiled gooseberry eyes'. I remember reading her first article too, she has completely contradicted herself in the second one. She's clearly just desperate for her 15 minutes which is a bit cringey.

I have an incredibly beautiful friend. (she's nice too, the cow) Who has lots of men gawping at her daily but women love her too because she has such a friendly way about her with everyone, not just men.

I suspect this woman's friends are wary of her because they are aware that she believes herself to be something special and just think she's a twat.

VegimalStyle · 03/04/2012 08:18

I knew a girl with the same problem at school. She doesn't appear on any of my school friends' fb friend lists. Says a lot really.

AmberNectarine · 03/04/2012 08:19

Yeah, women don't like you because you're so beautiful. Just like everybody hates Piers Morgan, because he's so clever. That'll be it.

YonWhaleFish · 03/04/2012 08:21

Looks kinda average to me, I know not of the great beauty she speaks of! Bit plump round the middle too!

AmberNectarine · 03/04/2012 08:21

Oh, and I'm no stunner, but I'm prettier than that, and I don't get deluged with Champagne wherever I go cherry lambrini sometimes

MargueritaaPracatan · 03/04/2012 08:27

I've just read this article and hoped there'd be a fred!

Love some of the comments on DM: "As for her husband, I wouldn't have him giftwrapped" hahaha!!

Hilar !

QuintessentialShadows · 03/04/2012 08:33

She is not exactly ugly, but she is not really beautiful either. She has quite bad facial features, looks a little wonky. Average I would say.

If I had not read anything that she has poured out from her brain, I would possibly find her quite "easy on the eye". And I think therein lies her problem.

I have met many women such as her, and they are generally a nightmare in the workplace. Flirty to the extreme, arse licking of female bosses, takes every opportunity to put themselves first, there is no sense of teamwork. Some call it arrogance, some call it confidence. But women mostly, know the type, and see right through these prick teases, and they are annoyed. Not because they are so pretty, but because they stoop so low! It is annoying to work hard at doing a good job, while looking at others flirt to get ahead. It is demoralizing to all that feminists have worked for us to achieve to see that even today, woman are not rewarded on their merits, but on how good they are at grooming, licking dick and arse.

thatboysmum · 03/04/2012 08:36

She is not ugly but is by no means stunning. Her 'confidence' is probably what makes her attractive to some people men. If that is genuinely how she views herself and everyone around her it is hardly surprising that she finds most people aren't that forth coming with friendship or kindness. Her personality makes her unattractive.

Bonsoir · 03/04/2012 08:40

I expect women hate her for being pretentious and self-deluded.

She's incredibly ordinary.

TartyMcFarty · 03/04/2012 08:43

Click on her name - there was a thread on here a couple of years ago about how her husband would divorce her if she gained weight. The world's shallowest couple (and I agree, she's not as attractive as she thinks she is - though of course, I'm just jealous )

2ombie5layer · 03/04/2012 08:48

My only thought is that we all have our own ideas of what is pretty and what is ugly. This woman seems to think that everyone finds her pretty and that she just happens to have these "gifts" poured on her. I am in no way stunning or more beautiful than a lot of other people, but there will be some men out there who will think I am (as we all do have our own ideas on what is pretty), but I never had random bottles of champagne bought for me as will be the same for a lot of other women out there. I agree she loves herself a little bit too much and probably knows how to wrap men around her little finger

I had a friend once and every single argument she would have with someone (myself included) it was always because they were jealous of her This woman reminds me of her, who BTW I have not spoken to for over 3 years now.

Growlithe · 03/04/2012 08:51

Another of her articles This woman is a nightmare

Another of her articles...

She just looks like a middle-aged woman in frumpy shoes.

CrockoDuck · 03/04/2012 08:56

She's not hideous or anything - just quite bland and uninteresting. I don't believe for a second that people are always falling over themselves to send over champagne or stop her paying for drinks.

Really, what on earth possessed her to write an article like this..."Oh, poor me, I'm so beautiful it's making my life a misery"?????

Deluded in the extreme.

Nancy66 · 03/04/2012 08:58

I'd say the 1k-a-time was incentive CrockoDuck

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 03/04/2012 09:00

I think we've all come across someone like her at some point.

I was at college with a girl like that; not ugly looking, maybe slightly higher than average but certainly not gorgeous enough to have men falling at her feet, as she seemed to claim they did. I went into town with her a few times and she continually said 'Look, he's looking at me' whenever we went past a male whether they were 6 or 16. She said she'd always had problems with girls as 'they are always jealous', and she made stealth boasts saying things like 'Oh I wish I could be ordinary like you, it's hard being so beautiful'. And of course lots of put down comments 'I don't think you are very pretty but you have a nice personality so that makes up for it'

Another thing that made me laugh was when she'd tell us all tales of how she had been stopped by so many modelling agency scouts in the street she just didn't know which one to sign up with. She never got approached by any when I was out with her and 20 years later I've yet to see her doing any modelling. She is on my Facebook friends and now she is in her late thirties but is all dolled up like she was in her late teens/early twenties she looks rather like a man in drag. I get the feeling from her statuses she still thinks she is god's gift though.

I'm really wondering what makes people like this? Incredibly high self esteem where their parents have always said they're beautiful (I am doubtful in this case about that as her sister is incredibly normal and down to earth)?very low self esteem so they have to constantly tell people how wonderful they are and try to make others feel bad? some sort of personality disorder? I really am fastinated.

AngryBeaver · 03/04/2012 09:02

Honestly, I find that just bewildering. I suppose because she is well groomed/dressed then she could possibly get away with being described as attractive (and I'm being very generous there)...there is no way she is "pretty" and definitely not "good looking". I find it very hard to believe that men pay for things for her based on her looks. She is mediocre,at best. I just showed my (very good looking) dh, the pic and article and laughed his head off.
She is completely deluded. I wonder if that is the reason she has lost all her friends? Not because she is a cock magnet,but because she is tapped!

CrockoDuck · 03/04/2012 09:03

£1k? Is that all?

As a former journalist (never made it to the dailies or anything) there's no flipping way I'd humiliate myself in such a public way for £1k. Absolutely no way.

There's a lot I'd do for £1k, but not that

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 03/04/2012 09:03

men probably pay for things because she has a reputation as a slapper!

Nanny0gg · 03/04/2012 09:14

She looks prettier in some of the other pictures - the one with her husband in the hideous mustard shirt for example, but she really isn't anything special. (Not jealous either, she's still better looking than I am but that doesn't make her anything but average)

I can't believe she was actually paid for writing such a load of claptrap.
