To think this Sam Brick woman is above average looking?

[Cortina]

She looks better than the average 41 year old woman does she not?

She also has a better figure than average and is taller than average?

I'm not as attractive as her but have been known to get a second glance now and again. She's much better looking than the average Mum, surely?

Surely she's at least a 7 out of 10? Surely she's as attractive as Victoria Beckham etc.

One of the plainest women I've ever met told me she was stunning once, not British. I found people began to believe she was in time because she just had this tremendous self belief.

Am not sure Samantha Brick really believes she's beautiful anyway. This this is all for fun, self publicity.

Well I just think she is completely average. I wouldn't normally give two figs about someone's looks but writing that kind of article she has opened herself up to criticism so I will go ahead and critique her looks. Facial looks, average although a little on the plain side, figure above average, good for her age. There are far prettier mums in the school playground but they seem genuinely unaware of how good they look.

I am older than her and look younger, also she isn't slim, makes me howl to c her sucking in her stomach in the piks, as my dh said a chubby fat faced average looking woman. Defo nothing special.

Also bloody boring thread now

Everyone is rather obsessed with her. She's only done the article so that everyone will speak about her! Even though she is of average looks on paper it ticks all the boxes and I think that if she holds herself right and wears the right sort of clothes then no doubt she looks very glamorous.

I doubt very much she's as traumatised and vulnerable as she's trying to make out. She knew FULL well she'd be in for a bashing and probably realised it'll be short lived and worth it given all the hype.

She's not unattractive, but her conceited attitude makes her very ugly.

MN Hubbie - I liked your post.

I think we've increasing getting a skewed view of what women look like. Take Facebook - all I know have photos that make us look better than we might in the flesh. When I've met friends of friends they are often unrecognisble from their photos.

Nearly every woman on TV/in public eye over 40 has had - often very subtle -work done. We now think a 44 year old or so who has slightly jowly skin or fine lines to be unusually haggard. Someone said this Sam Brick could be in her 50s - the average 50 year old will look older, yes, really.

It's as funny as Natalie Cassidy and Hannah waterman saying they are a size 8, hilarious.

Looks are always subjective though aren't they. I think she is very, very average looking and wouldn't give her a second glance regardless of her age.

Monica Bellucci is beautiful.

Halle Berry stunning.

both older than her but there's no comparison in my opinion. Again, subjective though.

Even if SB were a 7/10 (for her age, probably not compared to average 21yo), is that enough for other women to en masse go around resenting her beauty? No, I don't think so. Not even close. Maybe women who are 9/10 get that treatment, but not the 7s.

And personally I'd only give her 5/10 for "natural beauty".

I Disagree Megaron about Halle Berry, the mere mention of her name makes me cringe.

Remember this is the woman who was actually paid a lot of money to be Cat Woman!!!!!! Dear God what an absolute pile of crap. Don't forget either her oscars speech-vomit. No she can never be regarded as attractive after those episodes.

What I think she is, is unthreatening looking. A lot of women who are pleasant looking, with all the characteristics men in general all agree are attractive (blonde hair, medium bust, average height) do do very well because a certain sort of bloke without the self-confidence to make his own choices likes to go after a socially-acceptable kind of attractiveness. But it's important to them the woman is not so aggressively attractive they have any real fear they may be knocked back.

She's an averagely attractive woman, definitely not an intimidating beauty.

What this article has done is play into the DM's hands of having women being vitriolic and bitchy towards one another, hence her 'see, I was right!' article this morning.

I find her bizarre and presume she has esteem issues. I imagine her odd husband (see his camoflauge gear and guns photo) may have something to do with it. Maybe she's trying to turn herself into a polarising 'personality' a la Katie Hopkins from the Apprentice.

Anyway, hopefully her non-story won't receive too much more oxygen.

Next week it'll be that other DM favourite, the woman who produces article after article on how she can't afford to send all her kids to private school, can't afford to keep her period home, etc. etc.

I must say I think this kind of thing brings out the worst in people.

We KNOW she's deluded guys. Why keep prodding the bear? How cruel! What on earth is the point in all this, just to make an irrational woman feel bad. Not by attacking her argument but attacking her too. Nasty, rude, insensitive, self indulgent. Not just talking about people on Mumsnet, but everyone who's sent her mean messages. TSR had a field day with it too. What is this, Year 9?

For what it's worth, and it's not worth anything really, I think she is very pretty, she has nice features. Everyone who's saying she's average- I hardly see any 40 year olds looking like that. But who cares. I don't think this whole thing is real. But it just proves how much unpleasantness there is simmering under the surface and that is very real.

I agree.

We KNOW she's deluded guys.

I think she knows exactly what she is doing, and she is doing it very well. The thing I don't know is how much she expects to make out of it.

And IMO she is definitely above average looking, but no "10".

You clearly hang out with people that sort of age - when I was younger I thought 40 was past it :)

Most of us a little over 40 have fine lines, we're a little overweight, we don't look like Kate Winslet or Demi Moore but no doubt many would say they're average too.

Facts are over 40 you are beginning to age and it will begin to show in your face. Nearly everyone on TV etc at this age has had some work done. It makes me laugh when some celeb women in early to mid 40s are berated for looking haggard etc when these are usually just the ones who haven't succumbed to Botox & filler yet. They all do it - and it skews our perception IMO.

Quarrel, sorry where do u live. Most of my friends are over 40 and we all look way better than her tbh.

She's a daft bat with a lying mirror or she's just trying to make a name for herself or both.

Yes may b year 9 but she started it!! Ha ha

I am surprised she is only 41. I had her at 45+. I think she is polished but looks her age.
I think she has the basics that men respond well to, and women envy or see as a threat - she's leggy, blonde, pretty, successful and feminine.
But no - I cannot accept she is not a narcissist. She is delusional about the stand-out beauty she reckons she is in possession of. She clearly isn't all that! I find it hard to believe that a real live person ran tearfully from a group photo alongside her, blighted by Samantha's radiance. No.

In her article today she compares herself with Angelina Jolie, and pretty much says we're all just jealous of her beauty.

There is a reason that women avoid her, and it's nothing to do with her good looks. Women don't want to shag her, so there is no incentive to spend any time in this bizarre woman's company.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder surely?

To me she's not very attractive at all, I'd rather look like me and I'm nothing special. But I can see that other people would find her attractive.

What is extremely ugly is her basically slating other women and branding them as 'jealous' when actually most probably couldn't give two hoots and don't find her good looking anyway.

Does she really not understand that we all have friends that are pretty?

She must have known exactly what reaction it would get. I hope for her sake that she is writing it all with a knowing smile, hoping to get a bit of money coming in with appearances on this morning, loose women etc. A
nyway it's been done to death now, but the article she wrote this morning says that if Angelina Jolie had said 'I'm good looking' she would get loads of abuse, but if Brad Pitt said it he wouldn't. The thing is Angelina probably would attract comments saying 'she loves herself' but she wouldn't get many saying 'no she is ugly' because she is, objectively speaking, a beautiful woman. Samantha Brick is just normal looking.
I know I am above average looks but would never go around saying so (much less write an article detailing every occasion where someone has told me I am attractive or done me a favour) and I do not flirt with other people's husbands or work colleagues, perhaps that is why I am not hated by other women (at least I don't think I am!)

Ive seen more attractive women just
"on the street"

ans, Im 46 and have fewer lines
