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.

TBH I would never have commented on her looks if I hadnt been so bewildered by her claim of being " so beautiful". Bizarre behaviour.

I'm not sure why she is making such a big deal anyway. I'm the world's most attractive man but I don't show off about it. I could though.

On a recent flight to New York, I I was surprised when a stewardess came over and took a bottle of champagne from me. You?re probably thinking ?what a nasty surprise?. But it wasn't nasty, the captain wanted me to fly the plane using the power of good looks.

Another time, as I was walking through London?s Portobello Road market, I was tapped on the shoulder and presented with a mushroom. (See, I'm witty too.)

Even bar tenders frequently shoo my credit card away when I try to settle my bill. It's usually because they're rejected but that besides the point.

I'm great. If you say otherwise, it means I'm even better than you.

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.

We all have our ideas of what the basics are. Blonde has been mentioned more than once on this thread as some kind of preferred standard. Leggy and blonde are not default settings, she has bought into that myth. In my opinion the basics include curves and real inner confidence, and having glanced at her photos and read her numerous articles I think she tries to hard and protests too much.

I agree helen

Very, very average. Bordering on plain.

Victoria Becham is better looking than the average 20 year old, lol

but erm no tbh I'd say average but It doesnt really matter.

I'm never going to land a contract with Victoria's Secret any time soon, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that if I were to go to a ten day gin drinking festival, shave my head, eat nothing but kebabs, get no sleep and cover myself in dog shite, I'd still look a million times better than the Brick woman.

OP -is that you Pascal ?

I agree that there's a lot of truth in 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Without knowing somebody we're all just a collection of features, it's your knowledge of somebody that makes them beautiful. Alas our knowledge of Ms Brick is not working for her.......

Oh dear this really has bought out the worst in people hasn't it ?! If she feels beautiful because men have always told her so then good for her its all about self esteem isn't it ? But going around boasting about it means she does not particulary have inner beauty.
I always thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder though what one person finds attractive another will not. I think James Blunt is beautiful but Brad Pitt is not my type at all so I do not really rate him but a lot of people would put him top of their list !
Cameron Diaz ,Kate Moss,Gwynetth Paltrow are all described as beautiful but I don't think they are as pretty as say Kiera Knightley,Penelope Cruz, Christy Turlington to name a few. That is my opinion we all have different ideas of beauty.

This sums it up best:

Can we move on now please? 'Woman with peanut teeth who overrates herself' is not news.

It said on the radio that she's said the response to her article proves her point. That made me laugh and think 'only the true messiah denies his divinity ...' :o

Sam should think herself lucky is is not as attractive as me. Has anyone seen the JLO video where all those men can't help following her? Well that has been my life for the past twenty years.

I am in my forties but could pass for 19 easily. Women loath me as their husband visably drool when they see me. Even my sister hates me. My sons won't bring their friends home because their jaws hit the floor when they are introduced to me. I have been band from weddings because I upstage the bride and I don't even try to.

Life is so hard for me and I deserve some kindness and understanding

physically speaking, and just physically, she is less than average.

She wears good makeup for her age, not too heavy, and the right colours.
Her hair is nice, but not double take worthy.
Her clothes are average, some nicer than others, she really shouldn't wear neon blue with bright yellow as it washes her out.

However, her bone structure is quite shoddy, a lot of misalignment in her body, and low symmetry in her face ( she has a wonky face) which is made worse by her false smile.

She isn't overweight, but she isn't slender, she has a weird pouch thing going on with her lower tummy.
Her upper arms are flabby and not proportionate to her sholders and forearms.
Her legs are a bit thick, and she has a slight kankle.

Now, this is just what i see on her, i wouldn't think twice to look at her in the street, and i do look at beautiful women in public, because i can't help it, if something is beautiful looking, i like to see it, wether it is a building, child, animal, picture etc.

She isn't ugly, physically, but her attitude really makes me cringe and after reading her article(s) my dh has asked me if im about to be sick, thats all i need to know about what kind of person she is.

who is she

There is nothing wrong with her appearance, possibly pretty and well for her age even. But to set herself up as a beauty and write a silly article was just deluded. I still feel sorry for her.

Sorry Im a bit late to the party on this one . Ive just checked this bird out online and whilst shes not a minger with three heads and a tail shes not really a fox either. Her comments also do her no real favours .

the bizarre thing about the article is her complete delusion about herself. OK she is not bad looking, she is not stunningly attractive either.
The idea that men are falling over themselves to give her stuff is soo ridiculous I actually feel a little sorry for her. It must be so difficult to turn round to someone and say - "thanks, but no thanks."

but why is it in a newspaper? Was she famous for something else?

She is attractive, and clearly gets a certain degree of attention from some men, for being attractive to some men.

The problem is that men find women attractive for a number of different reasons. These can be any of the following: she has the body type he particularly likes, she is giving out strong signals of being extremely sexually available, she is giving out strong signals of being sexually UNavailable, she has a nice personality, she has a nice voice, she is funny, she is beautiful, she flirts a lot, she is wearing clothes the man finds a tun-on, she acts in a way that makes the man feel attracted.

Brick has mentioned in other articles, that she dresses in a way her husband dictates (so presumably not for comfort), she flirts a lot, and that she sometimes talks in a little-girl voice. She also dyes her hair a very eye-catching colour, which makes her very noticeable.

However she does not admit that she has made herself attractive to men by her behaviour, her dress sense, her hair dye, her flirting. And most significantly she does not acknowledge that some women find flirting behaviour exhibited by other women quite offensive.

No, she says that ONE thing and one thing only makes her attractive to men - her "beauty."

And it is jealousy of that "beauty" that makes other women dislike her.

I suggest that it is her good looks, accompanied by lots of flirting and attention-seeking behaviour, that get her the male attention she claims to receive.

And I would also suggest that it is the flirting and attention seeking behaviour (like these articles) that make other women dislike her, not her looks, which are nice but not exceptional.

I want to know where all these horrible jealous women are - I'm not exactly a looker but I've never taken against someone just because of their looks. I don't know many people that would either.

I have, however, taken a dislike to a beautiful woman who was also unpleasant, which is what I suspect is going on here.

OTTMummA -you missed one out on your extensive list.....she has no knees (DPs observation, not mine)

I was going to post something cruel but thought better of it, 'cos I am no oil painting. Unless said oil painting was by Picasso.

Im no oil painting either, i have a big nose, freckles, one eyebrow is slightly higher up than the other, my lips are to thin, i have a wide face and my hair is too thin.
