Massive outragous over her DailyMail article: "'There are downsides to looking this pretty': Why women hate me for being beautiful."

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.

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.

There are a few women I think 'Yeah, maybe, just maybe'

This bitch ain't one of them

This opinion won't go down well, but it can be true. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet about my looks and I am very thankful that I do look okay, but a lot of people, especially gay guys hate me because I look attractive. One of the reasons I don't really go to gay bars anymore, I hate the looks I get and the snide comments.

I've spoke to guys before, just to talk whilst drunk, and then their boyfriend comes mincing over and gets all defensive about 'their man'. People seem to have a lot of insecurities about themselves and seem to get jealous for no reason. I would never steal someone else's boyfriend, I cannot stand people who cheat, but they seem to think I'm intent on trying to sleep with their man.

That's unexpected, I would have thought they'd just fancy you if they thought you were good looking, that's like a straight man hating a woman because she's good looking, that never happens

On topic : lol, I don't see the fuss, she looks pretty average to me A woman would have to be pretty insecure to hate another woman for what she looks like though!

Bloody good looking Irish women with their lovely lilting accents that'd make reading the phone book aloud sound like they were quoting from WB Yeats.

I hate them alllllllllll...

Always much more fun to blow a friend's.

I heard about this woman before I saw her picture. Before I saw her I thought her story could be plausible... Now I've seen her. LOL... Nah.

Funny you should say that, in another thread today, her name popped up 'not reliable source' however, had no idea who she was until I read this.

[Tom4784]

I'd say it's more likely that women don't like her because she comes across as an arrogant bitch.
