“There are downsides to looking this pretty: Why women hate me for being beautiful.” THE DAILY MAIL, (April 2nd, 2012)
"While
I’m no Elle Macpherson, I’m tall, slim, blonde and, so I’m often told, a
good-looking woman. I know how lucky I am. But there are downsides to
being pretty — the main one being that other women hate me for no other
reason than my lovely looks.
If you’re a woman
reading this, I’d hazard that you’ve already formed your own opinion
about me — and it won’t be very flattering. For while many doors have
been opened (literally) as a result of my looks, just as many have been
metaphorically slammed in my face — and usually by my own sex.
I’m not smug and I’m no
flirt, yet over the years I’ve been dropped by countless friends who
felt threatened if I was merely in the presence of their other halves.
If their partners dared to actually talk to me, a sudden chill would
descend on the room."
In her own words on British Television show THIS MORNING:
41-year-old writer Samantha admit that she was "very good looking"
"You do believe you are very good looking?" he asked.
"It’s not that I believe it – I believe the perception of it, and the perception of how men approach women," she said.
"Do I think I’m good looking? Yes I do. Is that a crime?
"Women do not like attractive women. I suggested the article after waving at one of my neighbours in France, someone whose boys play at my house, and she totally ignored me.
"It got me thinking about how the Sisterhood attack beautiful women," Samantha added, much to the chagrain of TV presenter Ruth Langsford, who said she was "offended" by the statement.
"Neither me nor my friends have any problem with beauty," she said in response. "But we do not like arrogance." "This whole experience has proven my thesis," she said. "Women do not like attractive women.
"This is proven by the thousands of vile messages on my personal email account, on Twitter, and on my telephone answer machine.
Whatever she was trying to achieve is just way over the top. She is on her own with this opinion!
