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.

As I said yesterday, shallow, shallow, shallow. Poor woman. Plus she appears to be stuck in an abusive/dependent relationship (her husband dresses her? WTF?) and trying to bolster her self-esteem by writing outrageous things in the national press. Presumably the DM printed the article because she's so flipping gorgeous, not because they had space to fill. They certainly didn't print it because it contained a cogent and well-presented argument.

iamme aren't we mentioned? how bloody rude of her after all our discussions yesterdayAngry

LouMacca · 04/04/2012 10:24

This is being talked about on The Wright Stuff (Matthew not on it today btw!) shortly.

LesAnimaux · 04/04/2012 10:32

Well, she's not ugly, but she's not exactly stunning.

And doesn't she know what it means when a man sends her a drink?

fedupofnamechanging · 04/04/2012 11:13

I believe she may have dismissed us as 'bored housewives'. I am actually quite convinced that she is ill with her persistence in believing one thing, while the whole world is telling her something else entirely.

this made me smile

While I was tearfully dealing with the emails and calls outside the supermarket, a young man approached me, offered to park my car and even get me a coffee.
He could see I was having a tough time ? and yes, my looks had helped me out again

Funny and frustrating in equal measures. It's quite obvious that nothing will change this woman's opinion of herself.

Particularly loving the picture of her and her husband in his army get up and rifle Hmm. It looks more and more like a joke/ social experiment the more it goes on.

Insufferable!

And it's ENVIOUS !!!!

MrsArchieTheInventor · 04/04/2012 15:20

In response to the OP's question of do you like your friends to be not as pretty as you, my answer would be that I like my friends to be friends, looks don't really matter. In the long run looks fade, kindness and a warm personality rarely do.

''Happily married for three years, I?m sexually attentive to my husband and in return I know I can splurge in the Mac make-up store or online at net-a-porter without guilt''

How nice that you can have your little trinkets in return for 'favours' granted to your husband. Good for you love Smile

I too can splurge at MAC without guilt, DP doesn't expect anything sexual in return for it though because he has respect for me. We have sex because we like it, not so I can go shopping without guilt Grin

Begone you mad woman

RabidEasterEgg · 04/04/2012 15:55

I laughed the whole way through reading that article, and the funniest thing is I don't even think she is nice looking, She looks most ordinary to me to be really honest

Gherkinsmummy · 04/04/2012 16:30

This article makes a very good point jezebel.com/5898848/yes-samantha-brick-is-obnoxious-but-the-daily-mail-is-trolling-us-all

Ryoko · 04/04/2012 16:40

God reading that earlier article about flirting her way to the top, the woman is insane, she's just a deluded whore, at least proper prostitutes are honest nice down to earth people.

She is just a crazy extremely deluded nut job TBH, she is average looking, nothing special but it is clear that looks are not important, it's her whole attitude that is at play here, she gives woman a bad name, she is the worst kind woman.

I find the fact she has no friends comforting, it means there are very few people like her in the world as like attracts like.

eggkr · 04/04/2012 16:55

She is on this morning tomorrow. Should be funny.

Ryoko · 04/04/2012 17:13

Why? who gives a fuck, we should be discouraging the DM loons not pandering to their attention seeking antics. I blame care in the community it's been all down hill from there.

blueskysunshine · 04/04/2012 17:27

The woman is deluded. The reason she doesn't have female friends is because she is not a nice person, nothing to do with her 'good looks'! Although she has played right into the hands of the mail...

QueenofPlaids · 04/04/2012 17:51

Crikey! She reminds me of a girl I was once friends with told my other friends that 'she never went clubbing with anyone prettier than her'. We went clubbing often. She didn't get why I was pissed with her. And she wasn't prettier anyway, just thinner

Oddly we stopped being friends for many years and I heard she thought I was jealous of her.

Perhaps this stunner batshit crazy person ought to consider whether her issues delusions could be more attributable to the content than the packaging?

Oh and my friends come in all shapes and sizes. Some will never win a beauty contest, a couple are very conventionally pretty and most are somewhere in the middle. And the ones who get the most 'attention' are not necessarily the ones you might expect.

ScarlettAlexandra · 04/04/2012 18:24

she is on this morning tomorrow cant wait to see what she has to say.

nkf · 04/04/2012 18:26

This is not news. Wrong category. Is there one called Idle And Ocassionally Spiteful Chit Chat?

fedupofnamechanging · 04/04/2012 20:02

nkf, this was moved to News by MN. Think it started out in Chat, or AIBU

DoubleGlazing · 04/04/2012 20:10

I feel sorry for this woman. She really does seem to believe she is prettier than she is, and that others are jealous, when everyone can see for themselves that isn't true. I wonder the fact she can't let go of these beliefs come from other problems or issues of some kind.

Starwisher · 04/04/2012 21:54

I actually find her quite sexist.

If a man does a good deed for her it's because of her looks, in some vain hope of getting into her Knickers.

Couldn't possibly be just because they are decent, altruistic human beings who help people because, well, they like helping people.

I always seemed to have a mix of attractive, not so attractive and even p-ugly friends. I think Samantha Brick is right to an extent we do look at an attractive woman and WANT to dislike her, but on the whole if she turns out to be a nice person we get over it quickly.

I may be wrong but she comes across as a woman who a) doesnt like other women and b) uses being an "attractive woman" in a calculated way to get what she wants

Even at my peak of attractiveness Grin if a man had bought me a drink or carried something to my car I would assume they were either a) just very kind or b) after something. How strange if my first thought had been "wow I am so beautiful look at what I can get men to do for me"

I do have one very attractive friend who said women disliked her on sight but I am sure once they got to know her they got over it as she was a nice person...very few people would dislike you forever based on appearance.

Obviously she is not ugly but she is nowhere near as attractive as she thinks, without a doubt men will be attracted to her "confidence" and women will see it as "misguided arrogance"

I think what summed up her insular delusion what the fact that she says she had "never understood the term trolling"....UNTIL IT RELATED TO HER - how narcissistic is that!!
