Samantha Brick...cause I'm really really good looking..

She's certainly much more attractive in that video than in the photos that accompanied the article.

I still think she is missing the point that is women don't like her, not because she is attractive, but because she is attractive and has an air of self confidence/arrogance, and she will attract attention from other men by being like that, she is also successful and happily married with children.

She has it all, and women that don't will be jealous of that, jealous of the whole package, but it does all stem from her being "attractive" and the confidence that gives her.

Stuck up arrogant bitch why would anybody marry that.

Do you have an agenda here? There doesn't seem to be anyone who agrees with you and most people seem to be of the opinion that she's arrogant, narcissistic and missing the point while you defend her from all angles...

Because it is too easy to just say:

"Stupid arrogant narcissistic bitch"

I am at least trying to look at it from a different angle.

You can't deny she is a lot more attractive in the video than in the photos that accompany the article (I wonder who picked them, her or the Daily Mail).

You also can't deny that women can be very bitchy and often show signs of jealousy to those that seem to have more than them, be more successful, be more confident and/or are better looking.

I also think the reaction of the general public, the comments on twitter and the daily mail website, have been over the top and quite disgusting.

And they are bitchy to people who think they are wonderful, are self obsessed and for a million other reasons as well.

I'm not a woman, I think she's alright looking but nothing special. I read the article without even knowing all the hype that gone on and the first thing that popped into my head was that it had little to do with looks and more to do with her personality. If she's anything anything like the person in that article in real life then it's no wonder people don't like her.

She's average, she's very average, I've literally had better (and much worse, for the record and the sakes of balance) and I'm almost certainly below average. She may not be photogenic but she she still isn't some sort of stunner.

There's nothing wrong with that, the vast majority of people ARE average and any particular beauty is often unique within the eyes of an individual's admirers - of which I'm sure Ms Brick has one or two.

But you're still missing the point to a degree so vast I'm sure you can literally only be doing this to play devil's advocate and keep the argument going. She wrote an immensely arrogant and self-adoring article, it was ill advised and written without much humility or grace, even if she had been making a valid point (it's certainly true that women act publicly far more jealous of one another, in my experience, than men do) yet I still think people could have let it drop at that point if she put her hand up and went "okay, sure, I probably could have expressed myself better."

Yet instead she's just plugged away, shoving her fingers in her ears going "SEE YOU'RE ALL JUST JEALOUS OF ME OMG!" and persisting to be a nasty, arrogant, smug individual all over two continents worth of television. She's likely loving the press coverage, absolutely ridiculous.

What is there to defend? She may have been exploited by the press to sell a story (and I guarantee Cameron's loving it!) but it's an entirely symbiotic relationship, she's still milking the fame they're bringing her. No such thing as bad publicity, etc.

True, but very often women can just take one look at a woman and decide they hate her, nothing to do with personality and once a first impression is established the personality is moulded to fit, there is a fine line between arrogance and confidence, narcissim and being secure in your looks.

Can you imagine an office environment, and there is a new woman in the office, on her first day she strolls in, she is confident, relaxed, well dressed, looks good (if not stunning), she is paying a bit more attention to the men in the office than the women (because she feels more comfortable around men than women, probably because women are often bitchy to her), you know that many of the women in the office would just take one look at her and dislike her.

Woah there, sunshine, woah there.

Women do not have a monopoly on being judgemental, I do this on a daily basis. Pretty sure most of us do.

But that wasn't my point, my point was on the video she looked much more attractive than the photos in the paper, they probably deliberately chose unflattering pictures to stoke a bit of controversy, on the video she looks much more attractive, still not more than a 7.

But you're still missing the point to a degree so vast I'm sure you can literally only be doing this to play devil's advocate and keep the argument going.

She has tried to justify the article to an extent to say it is a lifetime of these experiences, so it is not everyday occurences but about 10 incidents over the course of 4 decades, a number of them when she was younger and probably more attractive, admittedly not clear in the article.

I am defending her, because I think the reaction of the public has been quite disgusting, the comments on here have been quite unpleasant, and this is just a small probably toned down sample of the type of things she has received personally. It was an ill thought out article, but the point it raises has been raised before and will be again, and each time this type of an article comes up the writer gets ripped to shreds for being arrogant and narcissistic and people don't try and look at the reasons why women do behave like that, because there is plenty of evidence that they do.

As for her continued publicity, what are the odds on Max Clifford being behind it all, exploiting her for his own gain.

[Zingari]

Stuck up arrogant bitch why would anybody marry that.

I think that's quite an attraction to Frenchmen !

[Zingari]

I think I've seen that Brick woman in some hard core stuff

brick /hardcore , geddit ?

[The Year Of The Fox]

Any hear davina mcall slag her off on the million pound drop last night? That was the first time I'd heard of her.

The woman's not even fit

[RonnieTodger]

She's OK looking. Just an unbelievable moron if it isn't a publicity stunt.

[21st Century Fox]

I think people (especially women) have got so riled by this is because she's dictating to people how they're going to feel towards her. She even said in that interview that it's a rare occurrence that a man will buy her train ticket for her etc, etc but she's put 2 and 2 together and got 40. She obviously believes she's incredibly attractive, which in itself won't annoy anyone, in fact most women would probably feel good for another woman whose content with themselves but she hasn't coupled that with any humility and has chalked that up as a reason for those rare occurrences and why other women dislike her. Which is probably more down to the self feeding arrogance of feeling singled out for her self-perceived beauty. It really seems to have very little to do with other people and a lot to do with her.
