Re: Article: People are mean to me because I am beautiful.
She doesn't strike me as being particularly toned. She's a healthy weight, but not killer body. And her face does not seem symmetrical to me.
Pretty sure all the insults directed at her in this thread aren't just about her outstanding personality but ok.
This made me giggle.
I've also always thought this about Katie Holmes.
I keep laughing.
I am saying that she is opening herself up to criticism about her looks because of the article, but people are going to be vocal and criticize her about it because she is kindofabitch.
I love that movie! Seventy-SIX trombones led the big parade!
Ha! Me too! I added it to my blockbuster (*cough* yes they're still in business) queue after I posted that.
I think that might be it too. She isn't ugly but she certainly isn't the most beautiful person I've seen.
What ever you say, sister.
So now I?m 41 and probably one of very few women entering her fifth decade welcoming the decline of my looks. I can?t wait for the wrinkles and the grey hair that will help me blend into the background.
Perhaps then the sisterhood will finally stop judging me so harshly on what I look like, and instead accept me for who I am.
If she was obese and she wrote an article saying how hard it is for her to be a skinny girl I'd make fun of that contradiction, yes. I wouldn't make fat jokes, (and I don't condone the ugly jokes made here, fwiw, please don't paint everyone here with the same brush) but I will make fun of her apparent residence in a make-believe world.
I'm guessing this is it. I'm not going to go as far as other people have and say she's hideous, but she's definitely not gorgeous. She's just... average. I would say people being mean to her is a function of her narcissism, not her looks.
This is really gross. Sometimes, this board disappoints me.
I'm not generally a killjoy, but with a cousin who has been made fun of for having Down Syndrome (and in fact was called a retard by a teacher, who was later fired), I can't laugh at sh!t like this.
That is truly sad for your cousin. And I'm glad that teacher was fired.
But this chick really does look a bit downsy.
I thought the woman was around 55 ish, and had botoxed her forehead. And then I read she's 41.
Is this is a real, legitimate story?
My eyes rolled so hard reading this they almost fell out.
Looking at the pictures, I thought she was attractive, not gorgeous by any means. After reading the article, it's hard for me to not find her hideous. She had this little gem:
I have written in the Mail on how I have flirted to get ahead at work, something I?m sure many women do
No, I've never done that. But I do know girls that do. They too don't have many girlfriends because women see through their manipulative tricks and don't want to waste their time on someone vapid.I see nothing wrong with mocking the appearance of someone who writes an article about how hard her life is because she is SOOOO gorgeous, when in reality said person is just average looking at best and appears to be crippled by a less than stellar personality.
Someone let me know when we get to the inevitable point in this thread where we all post pictures of ourselves to demonstrate that we're all at least as attractive as she is.

you mean groom.
But NOBODY can be wearing Target or Old Navy clothing, or else their contribution is invalid.
Thank goodness someone finally understands what I go through every day. It means so much to know that I am not alone. *chokes back tears*
(No, I'm not beautiful... but then neither is she, and therein lies the irony. Yes, I did mean to make that a couplet.)
Hilarious article written in response.
It's not something many men will dare to speak publicly about, but being terribly, terribly handsome is a double-edged sword. For every female Starbucks employee who made it her business to remember my name, there was a male employer telling me to do up my top three shirt buttons in the office. I can't tell you how many male acqaintances have stopped speaking to me over the years for petty "reasons" (unpaid debts, being alleged source of unpleasant rumour, refusal to appear as character witness), when jealousy is the transparent cause.
God, it's killing you that you can't rip into the fatties without people calling you anasshole, isn't it? WE GET IT.
Who "me?"
*Fat girl steps to mic*
Stop. Just stop. This woman is not attractive or beautiful. No. At best she is average looking, and I don't care what she wrote here, I refuse to believe she has ever paid the pretty girl tax.
That was seriously freaking awesome, and I love the picture he included.
