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.

"Downsides to looking this pretty"????? I hope it's a bad photo, she doesn't look remotely head turning to me Confused

I have no idea if my friends are prettier than me because I've never felt the need to compare us... I suspect they are since my skin is currently grey and my hair is falling out Grin but they are all prettier than her!

What an odd article! Agree people's attitudes towards her might have more to do with her personality than jealousy of her looks.

I know a girl a bit like this and her beauty is tainted by the fact she feels entitled to male attention everywhere she goes and will literally huff if she doesn't get it.

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder!

An air hostess once came and asked me if I would like to come and meet the pilot, I was 18 at the time, I just said no old perv and what sort of woman does a mans bidding like this? The reason he did it is not because I am stunningly beautiful but because I had a low cut top on and a great boobs not after bf 3 dc

This woman is deluded, I have many lovely friends who are incredibly attractive I'm not threatened by them because they aren't threatening. If people really treat her like this I would guess it's because she is also a flirt who needs her ego stroking.

Somebody should tell her she has married a hairy biker and his attitude stinks.

I thought she looked like a female Gerard Depardieu. Ordinarily, I'd steer clear of slating another woman's appearance, but since she has stated outright how very beautiful she considers herself to be, she does invite others to publicly disagree.

Agree with the posters who said that it isn't her 'beauty' which makes her unpopular with other women, it's her less than attractive personality!

Lifeissweet · 03/04/2012 10:01

I don't think she's real. I reckon it's all some sort of a wind-up. Surely noone is this self-absorbed?!

Some of my friends are drop dead gorgeous and I am distinctly average. I can honestly say that it never crosses my mind to be jealous or threatened by them. They may be superficially more attractive, but maybe I have a talent, or a sunnier nature, or a kinder heart...whatever.

I think there's a certain amount of projection going on. Maybe she's terrified of attractive women because her husband is such a shallow arse who would drop her like a stone if she gained a few pound or started to lose her looks?

I don't think she is even that pretty. After reading the article I think her "friends" hate her because she is horrible! What an arrogant, self centered woman. The worst kind of woman in my view and I'm not at all surprised she has no friends. As for men paying for things for her, maybe they pick up on the "come and get it here boys" vibes (don't pretend some women don't give them off because we all know that they do). Pathetic!

what a weird article...this woman is rather normal looking IMO.
As for the question posed by the OP, I don't think anyone chooses friends based on looks but certain types of people perhaps gel i.e very vain people like other very vain people? just a thought.....

fedupofnamechanging · 03/04/2012 10:09

Must admit, I thought this was an April fools joke, until I checked the date.

She wouldn't be allowed to eat them, droves - her fat fucker of a husband makes her go on a treadmill and inspects her shopping!

droves · 03/04/2012 10:13

Poor girl .... Men give her champagne , and buy her tickets ....but her troll of a hubby won't even buy her a new dress ...she only seems to have one blue/purple one ( it's not even a flattering colour on her)

Sad
droves · 03/04/2012 10:15

Perhaps that why she thinks she's solo good looking ?

If I had to look at pascals the troll first thing every morning by the time I'd got to the bathroom mirror I'd think I was Venus di milo / fangolina / supermodel too !

I don't dislike pretty women, I'm not half bad myself Grin and have some stunning friends. I dislike women who make it overly obvious that they think they are pretty and flirt constantly with every man in the vicinity, which is not my style at all.

LumpyLatimer · 03/04/2012 10:41

A ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! She is so bang on average it's hilair. What the fuck is she on about Hmm

gawd she loves her self doesn't she, she needs to understand that women hate you cause you would rather flirt with your dh than have coffee with you. men can spot an easy shag a mile off its nowt do with how you look.

i would say I'm pretty average but being a slim six footer does draw attention, maybe that's what it is. i have friends that are stunning and those that are less so it really doesn't matter. what does is true friendship and being a genuine person.

This woman reflects almost exactly a woman that I know, her looks are nice, attractive, but her personality is so awful no-one wants anything to do with her, rather than self reflect like most people try to do, she focuses on the one thing that she feels confident about and casts herself in a scapegoat role.

She talks in the first article about how women react negatively then the second about how she uses her sexuality to manipulate men, how she prefers the company of men, perhaps because the men she associates with are less interested in her personality.

I would be interested to know how she interacts with gay men and women actually, is she the predator she portrays or the eternal little girl?

It is a shame, in an ideal world she should be able to show that she is an intelligent woman to other women without feeling threatened, she must be very lonely up there on her pedestal, and will be even lonelier when her looks fade more yet the friendships don't appear still.

That's the nice me, I of course am fighting the urge to indulge that bitchy part Grin
