“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful!”
If you read the Daily Mail, the first thing that probably just came to your mind when you saw that phrase was the name, “Samantha Brick”. After posting her column on how much attention she gets over her “looks”, and how many friends she loses over “being beautiful”, she saw some negative reception from women and men alike, quick to push her into a reality check by assuring her she “isn’t that hot”.
Is she? Isn’t she?
Why don’t we watch this clip of her reaction after assimilating the public’s reception of her column, and then ask ourselves if either of those two questions are what’s relevant at all:
So…the answer? Her attractiveness is irrelevant to the core issue. She’s not bad for her age, she takes care of herself, and she deserves to say “I’m a beautiful woman”.
But that’s not the point.
If she’s really concerned about “losing friends” or people being unfriendly toward her, like she claims, it just seems unlikely that every woman shuns her for either her looking or feeling like she looks aesthetically pleasing. SOME women may not like attractive women, but not all. Think of all the hot women who hang out in hoards and manage to maintain friendships with one another.
I truly think that there are more layers here than meet the eye with this woman, and one of them is clearly apparent inasmuch as she can’t let the psychologist finish her fkkn sentence. That alone speaks volumes.
My eye roll at her column is not “you don’t have a right to say you’re beautiful out loud!” so much as “you don’t have a right to conclude that if some women shun you, that means all women hate beautiful women OR that it’s because of your perceived beauty versus something else you may be doing that you either don’t realize you’re doing or choose to deny you are doing”.
Wordy, but probably close to the truth…
