'There are downsides to looking this pretty': Why women hate me for being beautiful
Daily Mail Online ^ | April 2, 2012 | Samantha Brick

On a recent flight to New York, I was delighted when a stewardess came over and gave me a bottle of champagne.

‘This is from the captain — he wants to welcome you on board and hopes you have a great flight today,’ she explained.

You’re probably thinking ‘what a lovely surprise’. But while it was lovely, it wasn’t a surprise. At least, not for me.

Throughout my adult life, I’ve regularly had bottles of bubbly or wine sent to my restaurant table by men I don’t know. Once, a well-dressed chap bought my train ticket when I was standing behind him in the queue, while there was another occasion when a charming gentleman paid my fare as I stepped out of a cab in Paris..

Another time, as I was walking through London’s Portobello Road market, I was tapped on the shoulder and presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers. Even bar tenders frequently shoo my credit card away when I try to settle my bill..

And whenever I’ve asked what I’ve done to deserve such treatment, the donors of these gifts have always said the same thing: my pleasing appearance and pretty smile made their day.

You know, I could have sworn April Fool's Day was on the 1st. Because this is obviously a joke, right?

Tee hee

If it isn't then what we have here is a genuine case of conceit on full display.

Tee hee at the computer

Erp!

Maybe other women don't like her because she's a vapid horse's a**.

She is attractive, but she thinks much higher of her looks than a reality. I’ll give her a 7, perhaps she could have been a 9 20 years ago.

Not a target-rich environment.

You seem to have misplaced the British standard for beauty.

At her age, she has a full set of well kept teeth.

Quite the Catch, you see!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give her a 7 maybe a 7,5 if the light is just right.

And as proof of all this we have what? Her word?

She’s missing at least two of the requirements for such attention and treatment. Credibility may be a crucial third ingredient she’s missing.

Keep in mind that, as a brit, she is surrounded by victims of socialized medicine in Europe, who may not have updated eyeglass prescriptions.

If I was standing in ‘queue’ I would rather it be behind this woman than Helen Thomas.

(see... I said something nice)

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.

Trust me, sweetie, you don't have to wait.

I have had the same problem all my life. People keep wanting me to buy things for this woman. I don’t know her!

This woman speaks the truth though her side might be embellished based upon her looks which while pretty, she is not a stunner.

My male cousin is 18, a true 9.5/10-body and face. I have seen it personally how women treat him. Yes, lot's of free stuff. Women are always giving him stuff for free at restaurants-they will "forget" about his appetizer or drinks etc.

Women ask him out for dates all the time or ask him to dance at a social event. I have seen this personally as well. He works at a Hollister store as a model and was handed something like 30-40 phone numbers the first week he worked there.

BTW he does have a gf.

Very attractive people are treated differently in this country.
