I could not even finish reading the article, what a prat.

But the question is do you like your friends to be not as pretty as you?

I can't say I have ever given it any thought.

The article is dreadful but I see from links on here she is an author who writes for the daily fail so actually it all made up rubbish!!

KisMittz · 03/04/2012 09:21

I rarely read these links but this made me chortle.. the woman who was driving and ignored her probably did so because she thought 'there's that vain, narcisistic trollop diva again'.

My best friend thinks I am stunning and I love her for her vote of confidence but she is also beautiful, but apart from her looks, her inner beauty radiates in her actions and gestures and neither of us actually give a fiddle really.

Ledkr.. you've just turned me.... give us a snog gawjuss xx

I agree BQ - some women seem to think they have been blessed with great beauty simply by being born blonde, blue eyed and slim. They could have a face like a monkey's arse but all the while they are blonde blue eyed and slim they waft around thinking they are making women hate them and grown men faint. Hmm

the comments are SO MUCH BETTER than the article

birthdaygurl · 03/04/2012 09:25

She's ok, nothing special at all. I woudn't class her as pretty even. Don't care if my friends are pretty or not. Confused

notactuallyme · 03/04/2012 09:26

we don't really need to slag her off on a looks basis do we? it's not very in the spirit of the sisterghood to start listing why she isn't stunning. I expect she has confused an impulse advert with real life. I find that if i smile nicely at men, and look like i am listening to them they quite often let me queue jump etc - i think most women respond to general nice smiliness too, so that might explain the flowers stuff. i think it is behaviour, not looks, that other women find threatening. so, maybe she is attributing the effect of her behaviour to her perception of her looks?

notactuallyme · 03/04/2012 09:26

'sisterhood'

YonWhaleFish · 03/04/2012 09:26

I don't understand why she hasn't once mentioned her competence at her chosen career. Just that she's great at flirting her way "up" the career ladder.

It always saddens me to see really thick incompetent people working for men who've clearly employed them because of their looks not their ability to do the job. I must admit, part of it is jealousy as I am not particularly attractive nor can I play that role of thick, pretty and adoring, so life will always be that little bit harder. I am not saying it's right to use your looks, just that it's a fact of life that it happens.

It also saddens me because I then have to deal with said thick person and practically do their job for them.

You see, in my household being slim isn?t something to aspire to ? it?s an obligation. As Pascal likes to remind me: ?I married you because you?re slim ? I don?t want a fat wife.?

Lovely.

AngryFeet · 03/04/2012 09:28

I am fairly attractive. I have some very very pretty friends and some less 'pretty'. I am not bothered by the way they look at all. Friendships are based on personality not looks. My most beautiful friend is one of my eldest and we have been friends 30 years. I have never been envious of her looks or even thought about it really. I am however envious of her body now - I have had two kids and am fat and saggy, she looks like Jennifer Aniston Grin

JustHecate · 03/04/2012 09:28

I like my friends to be nice people.

I find that if someone is nice - they look nice. If someone is not, they look ugly.

So actual physical appearance is only really seen before you know the person, iyswim. After you get to know them, their attractiveness or lack thereof is based on their personality.

BupcakesandCunting · 03/04/2012 09:28

She looks like every other woman on the street: average.

I don't believe her when she says she is waived of bar bills/given champers/gets taxis paid for her by awestruck Parisian men. I smell bullshit. I have two beautiful friends, one is model material. Honestly, she is a stunner. I think she got bought a Bacardi Breezer once by some short-arse in a bar.

Also, I resent this defence mechanism she has set up to enable herself to discount any criticism: women hate me because they're jealous of my looks. Errr, no, it's probably because you've got a massive stick up your arse and you think that the earth revolves around you. Mind you, her ego is so big that it should probably have it's own solar system.

Her husband looks like he breeds pitbulls on a dodgy housing estate as well. Bleeeee.

AngryFeet · 03/04/2012 09:29

Sorry just read the article. Hate to be a bitch but I am better looking than her and noone buys me bottles of champers Envy

Psammead · 03/04/2012 09:30

I was walking down the highstreet once when a man approached me with a rose saying 'a beautiful flower for a beautiful woman' in the most exotic voice.

I took it with a blush and a 'thank-you' and he said, in his normal cockney accent 'that'll be £1.50, love'

Fucker.

ledkr · 03/04/2012 09:30

notactually I think we did all hold back from making personal comments but as you read the whole article you cant help it.

Id really like to see a complete stranger hand someone flowers and seriously doubt that airline pilots neglect their pr flight checks to peer out of the plane window, hands cupped around their eyes, checking out sll the passengers to decide which lucky lady will get a complimentary bottle of Moet for being so prettyGrin

i think women hate her because of her attitude rather than anything to do with the way she she looks-she is just ordinary looking. However if she spends her life going round being all 'oh my god i am so beautiful and so many men swoon over me and it makes life so difficult..' then i would probably dislike her yes.

YYY. That is exactly right. And she's probably never been a bridesmaid because she's a vain self-absorbed twat and no-one like her onough to ask her.

I think you'd be more inclined to ask a very pretty friend than a very plain one, as you want her to mkae your photos loook nice. Grin

worldgonecrazy · 03/04/2012 09:32

I don't actually know if any of my female friends are prettier than me, it's not something I notice. I notice clothes, hair, etc. but not how they look. I did read that people tend to stick to their own level of attractiveness when choosing friends, but it's not something I've ever thought about.

FairyArmadillo · 03/04/2012 09:34

Wow, her husband sounds like a good a catch!

ovaltine · 03/04/2012 09:36

maybe because she comes across as a stuck up cow and thinks she is more beautiful than everyone else is the problem?

SodoffBaldrick · 03/04/2012 09:36

She's wearing the same frock... Hmm

Orlando · 03/04/2012 09:42

I strongly suspect she only writes for the Daily Fail, since she is their dream journo (ie. opinionated, 'controversial' and so vain/self-absorbed she has no idea that she's being Set Up.)

ledkr · 03/04/2012 09:44

Is she going to aknowledge that Pascal is in fact obese?

YonWhaleFish · 03/04/2012 09:45

Has anyone read the "chubby child" article? She doesn't look obese in the photos to me...
