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.

Going to discuss the silly old boot on radio 5 in a mo. so she's got height she wanted, publicity.

Thing is, if she was indeed beautiful, I would have just said fair play to her

www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/apr/04/samantha-brick-hated-good-looks has anyone linked to this already? sorry if they have - it's good stuff though

Thumb that is glorious! :o

She's not overweight but she's not slim, she has a tummy on her even though I imagine she's wearing spanx. Most of my 40year old friends are slimmer than her.

Had her aricle been titled 'I look ok for a 41 year old' you might have been right.

She's normal, average looking, her delusions, arrogance and horrible attitude probably make her look very ugly in real life.

Loving the contribution to the Mail today about some random bloke offering to park her car at the supermarket...I just don't believe her. Plain and simple. I think her pants are on fire.

I think she's moderately attractive. I don't think she's drop-dead, envy inspiring gorgeous - I have far better looking friends than her (and some of those are the same age as her) and after you get over the initial shock of them being so beautiful, their personality becomes more important. I wouldn't hate someone for being beautiful and I am only fairly average I think.

Yes based on looks alone she is probably above average - but she's no Angelina jolie! She's better looking than me, but I have one friend in particular that is stop the traffic gorgeous. It's not about looks its about personality. And, judging by her articles, she doesnt come across well.

I don't think she is anything special, just normal looking. But i think she looks old for her age. I am not anything special myself but am nearly 41 and i look a lot younger than sam brick. My mum looks younger than sam brick and i am not joking (she does get asked if she is my sister). Don't like her arrogance though. Is the story real anyway? Sounds fake to me.

Yes she is above average looking, she is also above average self obsessed so they cancel out. Fuck and run, as DH would put it.

She looks average, and looks like a 42 year old from what I could tell. I'd rate her a 4. She has no sparkle, which can make a plain woman pretty.

I think she looks insipid and not very attractive.

I find the comments about her age rather ageist though. She's only 41 - that isn't old. I am 53 and look younger. At 41 I looked a lot younger than she did (probably because I was pregnant for most of it).

Ms Brick - why have you resorted to making threads about yourself? Nobody likes you - get over it.

Honesty? You are not someone I think is attractive - your bald, high forehead is not something I think is nice. You are boss-eyed and you are about a three out of ten (and I'm being generous).

Sorry luv. You ain't all that. I actually think you my need some help dealing with your narcissism.

She is just average.

All I can describe is the reaction I had when I read the read the article.
I read the headline and start of the story, thought yes, I can imagine being beautiful would have its downsides.

SCROLLED DOWN and....

Burst out laughing. I thought OMG how deluded - she is plain with a grey face looked like its made out of putty, a wonky nose and dodgy teeth.
Called my DH and we had a good laugh.

Not her looks - she looks OK but her description of 'beautiful'. Not in a million years love!

She's a solid 6, maybe a 7 on a good day.
It's not that she's horrificaly ugly, it's the notion that she thinks she's stunning to the point where women hate her, men pick up random bills for her and captains of airplanes send out champagne due to being so joyous with her mere presence on their plane.
She has some stereotypical features which point to looking decent and some bad features which detract from i, which places her slap bang in the middle of being ok/quite nice looking.
The mocking doesn't come from her appearance alone, it's coupled with her delusional sense of self.
It's the same reason people laugh when the ENglish fans think they'll win the world cup every timeit's on, it's not that the team are rubbish just that they're nowhere near as good as they think.
Put simply if this woman was half as beautiful as she thinks she is, she'd be twice as beautiful as she actually is.

I get random blokes offering to park my car at the supermarket and Im fat and frumpy

Just crap at parking

Why does she keep slagging women off!

Get over yourself.

Attractive people do much better in life than those perceived to be ugly so she is wrong.

I suspect her friends got annoyed at her flopping about complaining "It's such a trial being beautiful, you're so lucky you're plain. Please tell me tales of being averagely plain so I might dream of not being cursed by my great beauty."

Sorry cortina I had to laugh at "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"

Most of us over 40 look how 40 years old naturally look - neither Kate Winslet or Demi Moore resemble who they used to be...look at their early photos - they have either had good plastic surgery or are lucky enough to have a team of very clever technical bods work on their photos before we see them. Fair enough they dont look young they dont get work but PLEASE dont believe this is how the majority of people age...I am saying this as someone who has great genes but is still ageing

Absolutely, Lemonaide.

I also posted about how fillers/botox etc are skewing the perception of how a 40-45 year old woman plus looks like in the 'raw'.

Nearly every woman on TV/public eye post 40 has had some 'help' - it might be subtle laser work on their skin (to reduce pore size or help with elasticity etc). It might be radio frequency which tightens and lifts and has no downtime or it might be more drastic. All of it, when done well, can really make a woman look a lot younger.

She's bonkers and more arrogant than I have ever known anyone to be.

She's average, maybe even below average looking (lovely shot of her with a dreadful overhang in 'feMail' today) but she clearly takes the time to make the most of herself and so she's not unattractive. There's a difference between attractive and beautiful though, IMO.

There are loads of beautiful women who I am sure have plenty of friends. In fact, some of my friends who are the most 'popular' (eg, life and soul of every party) are also the most beautiful. The differfence is, they may realise they are beautiful, but they sure as heck don't go round advertising they think that and they certainly don't go on and on about it.

ones mans meat is another man's poison and all that she looks good for 41 but to be honest i don't think she would turn heads in a bar

I really am amazed that anyone could find this woman anything but below average... She is so...ordinary. I really do suspect that she has mental health problems and she has built a fantasy world where we all hate her 'beauty' because she cannot cope with being a plain Jane
