To think this Sam Brick woman is above average looking?

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.

Actually I completely agree with you ilikecandy - I think she really does have some MH issues and whoever thought her going public like this was a grand idea needs their bumps felt too.

Spuddybean · 05/04/2012 19:35

I think if your doing an out of 10 and 10 is the absolute best you could be - i wouldn't put her over a 4 or 5 tbh. (I would never normally judge someone like that had they not written a horrible delusional article however.)

She is only 5 years older than me and looks way older in my opinion. Out of all the women i know she would be below average. I work in an open plan office of 100 women and 75% of them are around her age and are more attractive. Like anyone, if 'packaged nicely', they can be attractive, but if you are looking at the raw materials here, i just can't see it in her.

She is no where near as attractive as Victoria Beckham (not that i think she is a particular beauty but she is much nicer put together - whole picture wise). And obviously her denial and odious arrogance is extraordinarily ugly.

Perhaps she started of gorgeous and the more arrogant she became the more ugly she became. In a reverse Dorian Gray stylee. Maybe there is a beautiful portrait of her in an attic somewhere?

Stratters · 05/04/2012 19:55

She looks older than me, a lot older, and I am nearly 4 years older than her. She has a wonky face, terrible teeth and a blobby nose. A fat stomach, thin hair and terrible legs.

If I were her I would be v v worried about M Brique following through with his divorce threat unless that's another hidden agenda.

She looked slimmer on TM though, but she was wearing more flattering clothes.

She also looks an awful lot like someone I used to know, who was also called Samantha. But she was older than me...

ilikecandyandrunning · 05/04/2012 20:00

I watched the interview - the poor luvve just can't deal with being very ordinary looking so she has definitely created a fantasy world where she is ms hot. She is weird, looks WAY older than 41 and is just not attractive!

ebbandflow · 05/04/2012 20:01

I think her wonkiness is cute, she looks quite natural looking. I wonder if she has had any work done?

Stratters · 05/04/2012 20:13

If she has, she should sue.

NoBunnyYeahBunny · 05/04/2012 20:16

She may be pretty, although i don't think above average but she is mental arrogant and that is such a very ugly quality.

molly3478 · 05/04/2012 20:18

I have to disagree I dont think 40 is any reason to be slightly overweight and especially as she hasnt even had any kids I dont think her stomach should have gone like that as such as young age. My mum and her friends havent got that and they havent had any work done. The muscle tone is to do with whether you have looked after yourself imo.

Thumbwitch · 05/04/2012 20:20

Stratters!

Spuddybean · 05/04/2012 20:31

I think also it depends where you live/are from with what you consider attractive. I have been to some places where i have not seen anyone remotely attractive, and i've felt like a goddess, but also been to places where everyone is gorgeous and i have felt like a gargoyle. It's comparisons which often make people attractive or not.

OTTMummA · 05/04/2012 21:04

Pmsl, stratters!

EllenParsons · 05/04/2012 21:47

I think the quote on Jezebel about her appearance really gets it:

"If you looked up "just some lady" in the dictionary, there'd be a picture of Samantha Brick. She's fine. She's normal."

She is not hideous but definitely nowhere near as attractive as she thinks. Most people wouldn't look at her twice. She looks like a normal random mum with slightly wonky teeth and bit of a tummy but who tries hard to maintain herself.

Not sure if deluded or trolling.

Yellowtip · 05/04/2012 22:30

Wow, I've just looked her up after a conversation at supper. I'm 100% with Stratters, she's hideous and her figure is dire.

LadyBeagleEyes · 05/04/2012 22:46

I was in town today and saw a random woman at the bus station. She was Scandinavian I think (she was chatting to a friend), she had no make up, she was tall, blonde and stunning.
I gave her a second look but didn't feel any jealousy at all, I just thought, you lucky cow.
I think that is the reaction of all of us lesser mortals when we see beautiful women.
La Brique is not beautiful, she's just ok. WTF does her arrogance and delusion come from?
I think the DM has played a clever game and they know what they're doing as does La Brique.

toptramp · 05/04/2012 22:55

She's attractive but not stunning and her article was a bit nauseating tbh. I kind of know what she means as everyone hates me as I am so stunningly attractive! [preens]

SarahStrattonsEasterName · 05/04/2012 22:55

I love Beautiful People. I have absolutely no feelings of jealously towards them, I just thoroughly enjoy looking at them.

Sorry for staring Beautiful People. I do try to make it surreptitious.

toptramp · 05/04/2012 22:55

Joke btw!

Hownoobrooncoo · 05/04/2012 22:55

TBH, I like looking at beautiful/attractive women. Often when out and about I notice women more than men, don't know what that says about me.

toptramp · 05/04/2012 22:56

Surprising how many people on mn read the Daily Mail (disclaimer; I only did because my gran reads it and I was intrigued by the arrogant tone of the piece)

SarahStrattonsEasterName · 05/04/2012 22:57

Yeah yeah toptramp, it's ok you can come out of the closet now.

Thumbwitch · 05/04/2012 23:08

I never bloody read it except when it's linked to on here!

toptramp · 05/04/2012 23:09

IMO truly beautiful women are the likes of Penelope Cruz, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, Helen Mirren etc, Eva Mendezetc, etc...

Having said that most of us have something nice about us don't we even if we are not hollwood perfect.

pictish · 06/04/2012 09:38

I do not think Cameron Diaz is a beauty by any means. I often hear her described as beautiful, but when I look at her I see thin straggly hair, bad skin and an average face that scrubs up well.

I have occasionally puzzled over the apparent gorgeousness of Cameron Diaz. I just do not see it.

BonnieBumble · 06/04/2012 11:45

Although she is no beauty I'm surprised at all the people saying she looks older than she is. She looks late thirties, no older.

Spuddybean · 06/04/2012 12:00

Really bonnie? i would put her at 46 at least. My peers and i are 35/37 and we would have to age pretty dramatically to look like that in 4 or 5 years. She looks on par with my mums friends who are about 50. Altho i would say some people don't come across well in pics and maybe she is more youthful looking in person.
