I've read this article months ago, and found it interesting how others are so afraid of the truth. I would like to see what my fellow AFFers think of this story. Personally, I cn relate to what Brick is saying about how people sometimes make things difficult for you because you are superior in some way. This article sheds light on how insecurity, and confidence play out in how society treats you. Most people would disagree with me, but Brick brings out some valid points. No one wants to acknowledge that when insecurity sets in, others would actually go to great lengths to give someone they percieve as somehow superior a hard time. I personally find her courage, and honesty admirable. I'm choosing to bring this up now because it was her attitude that inspired confidence in me to get this job.

I think the issue that most people had with Samantha Brick's articles on this subject was that she was clearly deluded.

I can see why you might say that. I personally don't find her good looking, which makes it all the more better.

Its beautiful how someone as average as her can see, experience, and feel the confidence as well as understand the inner workings of how social life is affected through such an outlook.

If those articles had been written by someone as outlandishly attractive as Samantha Brick clearly thought she was... then it would have been interesting to see the reaction.

I actually found some of the spoof articles written in response to be very amusing. I might try to dig some up.

Samantha Brick is not attractive...more repulsive than anything.

Now, Rachel Weisz is attractive. and SHE doesn't have to write an article about it. and I BET her ladies friends don't avoid her.

I mean- just look at her!

I should post a photo of a neighbour who thinks he is sooo attractive. He goes around saying how irresistable he is, and charming. He has the never to think that women should throw him money for looking (IMO a vampire, unattractive).He looks utterly repulsive to me.

On the other hand, my (soon to be) co-worker is very handsome, and successful. Unlike my neighbour, he isn't one to boast about his accomplishments.

My aunt always said its the 'unattractive people who managed to have the most confidence'.

Sg, can I ask to resize that pic?

Please do, it came out larger than I was expecting.

Samantha Brick is on Celeb Big Brother at the moment.
I was pleased to see that first thing in the morning she's not so "hot" but still deluded.

I especially loved her in The Mummy She was perfect for the role of Evelyn

Redefining the meaning of "celebrity" still further while at the same time confirming her in her delusions!

Car crash TV right enough.

To the OP, I really don't think you should look to this woman for inspiration or affirmation.  If people do resent or dislike her, which is debatable, then it's not for her looks, which are average, but for her attitude, which isn't.

I think Samantha Brick is good looking. I don't understand why people are saying she isn't.

Celebrity doesn't mean anything anymore, now we just celebrate people for being good-looking and charming.

Don't forget we also celebrate fictional characters who are beautiful. Especially sparkly vampires....

<----confused

That article must have been meant as a joke, and the reaction by readers promoted this woman to celebrity status, so she just went with it.
