🤣🤣😂😂😂

Or is she just deluded?

'I am soooooooo beautiful, and perfect, and hot, and no man I have ever met is good enough for me. All the male friends of my kids fancy me, I have had men from abroad saying if they lived closer they would date me, I could get a rich man if I wanted one, I look half my age, yada yada yada.'

What on earth is going on in this woman's head? I mean, it's ok to be confident and assertive and so on, but this is just too over-the-top!... Confused

Whatever you think about this, it will give you a good laugh! Grin

I'm not upset by it.

I'm tired of the bitchiness in response to a media dog-whistle of a story. I think it's worth calling it out for what it is. It's just my opinion. You seem to be the one who is upset by it.

Am I the only one who immediately thinks of the Steel Panther song 'It's a burden being wonderful like me'...

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 17/10/2017 13:54

Rating women or men out of ten is just awful.

Do you want your dcs to grow up feeling judged like that?

It’s not what you look like, it’s how you treat other people and how you contribute that should matter.

Yes I don’t have to come on this thread, but the obsession with looks is getting out of hand and is damaging to people, especially young people.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/10/2017 13:55

Ha ha. I love Phil's I'm saying nowt face.Grin

Sorry but I'd say she's very average looking.
Maybe its her big headed ridiculously over confident, I'm doing the world a favor by letting them breathe the same air as me attitude, that's preventing her from meeting someone.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/10/2017 13:55

There's confident and there's blowing your own trumpet- big difference!

RedForFilth · 17/10/2017 13:59

The youngest I'd put her at is 40 maybe. So I don't really understand this! Nothing wrong with her and I wouldn't call her unattractive. Not what I would go for looks wise in a woman but each to their own.
And I'm guessing the reason for her not finding love is vanity!

KoalaD · 17/10/2017 14:01

Confidence is not the same thing as vanity.

I'm all for women having healthy confidence and liking themselves. This is not that.

CorbynsBumFlannel · 17/10/2017 14:04

I think she's pretty and does look a little young for 44. She's quite overweight though which some people will find attractive and some not I guess. It probably helps plump out her wrinkles.
I reckon she's got a lot of attention for her revealing outfits on her YouTube channel and it's gone to her head a little.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/10/2017 14:06

No she's not unattractive. She's averagely attractive

SchadenfreudePersonified · 17/10/2017 14:08

Samantha Brick is that you?

You beat me to it Peanut

As for the woman in the article - she's very attractive, but NO WAY does she look early twenties (and these days, there are lots of ladies who look well younger than they are,)

Confidence can slip so easily into arrogance . . .

Shockers · 17/10/2017 14:09

There was a dad at my last school who claimed to be too clever to be employed. This story has a similar vibe.

user1480334601 · 17/10/2017 14:15

I imagine she's struggling to find love more due to the fact she has a disgustingly large ego. Imagine what she talks like on dates?!

QuiteUnfitBit · 17/10/2017 14:18

It'll turn out she's a psychology student or something, using the responses as part of her thesis.

Zaphodsotherhead · 17/10/2017 14:18

Has she, by any chance, just written a book?

Mama234 · 17/10/2017 14:24

She thinks she looks 22 hahaha

Maddiemademe · 17/10/2017 14:26

I personally admire people with endless self confidence personally. So many people tear others down (as seen on this thread). Why not think the best of yourself? She isn't hurting anyone!

FlandersRocks · 17/10/2017 14:32

She looks good for mid 40's...in photos with good lighting I can imagine she could pass for a lot younger. But her eyes give her away...no way in hell would she pass for 20's in the flesh.

Shockers · 17/10/2017 14:46

I can't imagine her children are thrilled about her honesty on national TV, Maddie.

TriHard27 · 17/10/2017 14:49

She's very striking when she smiles and does look decent for her age but I agree she's not as young / remarkable looking as I was expecting.

I'd normally think good for her for being confident but it sounds like her mindset is impacting negatively on her life if she really believes what she is saying. Maybe it suits her to believe it for some reason.

LaurieFairyCake · 17/10/2017 14:54

Just from that first photo I’d have put her at 50.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 17/10/2017 15:12

I have had men from abroad saying if they lived closer they would date me
This bit is hilarious. Not, ‘men have told me I’m so beautiful they would rather die than not have me’ but more of a ‘yeah love, if I lived within the M25, I’d give it a go’.

Sashkin · 17/10/2017 15:20

I can believe that one person somewhere told her she looked half her age. I’m 38 and I’ve had a few people say I look like I’m in my 20s.

Thing is though, I don’t. I’m petite, which people seem to read as being young, but I have plenty of wrinkles and I look distinctly more haggard than a twenty-something. I definitely look late 30s. Some people are just really crap at judging age.

withlotsoflove · 17/10/2017 15:23

Of course someone can be bullied fir being too pretty/ beautiful.
Those females have a difficult time from other women for the rest of their 'attractive' years.

Flomper · 17/10/2017 15:24

she looks like all the other 44 year old women I know.

kaytee87 · 17/10/2017 15:25

And here comes all the nasty comments about another women's looks.
Good for her if she thinks she's gorgeous, she's not actually hurting anyone with her attitude except maybe herself.
