Yes all women are beautiful but No women is beautiful compared to Sam Brick. She is the sun and moon in my world...

RationalBrain · 16/08/2012 12:09

HA HA! You know that will get us going.

YABVU no one should agree with anything that woman says of course

SoleSource · 16/08/2012 12:09

Excuse spelling mistakes, please. My phone's screen is overly sensitive.

I can't agree with Samantha Brick. I'm too busy being jealous and hating her for being too beautiful.

yellowraincoat · 16/08/2012 12:10

Why shouldn't men feel beautiful too?

Minshu · 16/08/2012 12:10

I look like an old hag, so feeling that I was beautiful would be delusional...

MrsKeithRichards · 16/08/2012 12:10

She is More lovely than Diana, Audrey and Kate put together.

TheDreadedFoosa · 16/08/2012 12:11

Why?
Just women or everyone?
Beautiful as in....what? Physically beautiful? What if you're not? Beautiful inside, as a person? In which case i think 'beatiful' is a rather lazy description.

I am left feeling rather queasy when women are urged to feel beautiful. Its blamd and meaningless, what do yo actually mean?

nomoreminibreaks · 16/08/2012 12:12

Yes, but it's the bit about her thinking that other women hate her because they're jealous of her looks that I have a problem with.

I have lots of gorgeous friends and, while I wouldn't mind having their figure/hair/style, I don't hate them because of it.

I think if she was honest with herself she'd find that they don't like her for other reasons. Telling herself it's because they're jealous is a convenient theory for her as it means she's not responsible.

SoleSource · 16/08/2012 12:13

I feel beautiful, even though I am not as beautiful as many other women. I am realiatic but feel good enough.

Also my head hurts, my nose is bright red and there is snot everywhere. Sad Is she sure I should feel beautiful? All the time? Confused

SoleSource · 16/08/2012 12:15

I feel OK inside about me, I am less harsh on myself about my looks. I wasn't mrant to be a supermodel.

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 16/08/2012 12:17

But how does that work when she considers so many women not to be beautiful?

LulaPalooza · 16/08/2012 12:18

Samantha Brick has weirdly wonky eyes

Just going by what she said on BB last night. Has she said other women are not beautiful or they do not feel they are?

Load of tosh IMO

Women shouldn't have to feel 'beeyoodiful', just confident in their own skin, and strong, and worthy of respect full stop.

I'm a total fox though btw

Krumbum · 16/08/2012 12:23

Being beautiful is not important. Some people have other strengths. The way you look does not have to be the be all and end all.

ViviPru · 16/08/2012 12:24

I think it's more healthy to feel comfortable with not feeling beautiful. I'm fucking minging atm. My roots are long overdue, my skin's broken out, I'm wearing my scruffs. I'm also a bit short tempered at the moment, and a little self-absorbed.

I'm absolutely not beautiful in any way shape or form right now. But I'm comfortable with that :)

usualsuspect · 16/08/2012 12:26

Woman should feel comfortable with themselves. You don't have to feel beautiful to be happy with yourself.

TheDreadedFoosa · 16/08/2012 12:29

Still confused.

There are some women who are extraordinarily happy, content, confident etc who would rightly describe themselves (physically) in less than glowing terms.

Why should they feel beautiful? Because its important to you and Samantha Brick?

Open your eyes, people are far more diverse than you think.

PorkyandBess · 16/08/2012 12:30

It's about being happy with how you look.

All this 'beautiful' is daft. Most people are not beautiful.

SoleSource · 16/08/2012 12:33

Dreaded you need to read the thread and dreadedsweetie is your more apt name. Aww.

Beautiful has an actual meaning. It's fucking condescending to say that women as a species somehow need to be told we are beautiful rather than strong or special or powerful or amazing or whatever. Some women are beautiful, some are not, some are on the spectrum but more pretty, why the fuck does it matter so much more than any other quality?
