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.
Youre probably thinking what a lovely surprise. But while it was lovely, it wasnt a surprise. At least, not for me.
Throughout my adult life, Ive regularly had bottles of bubbly or wine sent to my restaurant table by men I dont 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 Londons 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 Ive asked what Ive 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.

I realize it's a matter of taste, but some might think you need to run out and get a better pair of beer goggles.
I would wife black bikini in post #46, let her abuse me for a night of passion, get divorced the next day and gladly play alimony for the next 30 years.
pssss

uhhh i actually clicked on this article to see what the fuss was about and uhh yeah theres no fuss in what i can see.... why would women be jealous hmmm nope cant see why... im certainly not.. perhaps you flutter your eyelids at these men and they think your offering them some attention if you get the drift, or they didnt go to spec savers, your ego seriously needs addressing as thats why your losing friends there proberly sick of your “ im better than you” attitude, it bounces off you in your photos you give off the vibe that your better than others and to tell you the truth your no claudia schiffer, and they often say if you got it flaunt it...but you not got it ...and definately not as much as you think you do. AND im not jealous i tell it how i see it.

I genuinely thought this was an April Fool’s article. Or maybe her humour is so dry we can’t recognize it? Regardless, I can count at least 15 female friends of my own who are genuinely far more attractive than she is and not a one of them experiences any of the issues Samantha has suffered. One particular friend of mine is easily the most attractive and pretty girl I know, and yet she manages to charm the socks off of men and women alike. This is because her personality matches her good looks, she is neither arrogant nor self-deprecating. Samantha’s problem is not her looks, its a dreadful mix of attitude and preemptive assumptions of other women’s attitudes toward her that no doubt acts as a self-fulfilling prophecy, ruining her friendships but sadly instead of reconsiding her egotistical nature, she places blame on others. Once again, sorry Sam but you are moderately good looking, look up models in Google images, compare, than adjust your attitude accordingly.

I thought this was a wind up. I feel sorry for her she’s deluded.

Is she having a laugh? Blondes are my type, especially tall thin ones. But I wouldn’t touch this one. And there’s no way she can call ME jealous (i’m a man). This article has given me and all my work mates something to laugh at down the pub though. Thnks

I would suggest that her harsh judgement by the sisterhood, and her inability to make and keep female friends, is more than likely a result of her smug, holier than thou attitude and her elevated sense her own importance than her looks. Real friends don’t care what you look like, and certainly have no fear of you being around their hubbies, unless your behavior around them is one of remarked impropriety!

She seems to have a very over-inflated opinion of herself!!

Over 4000 replies, with the mass coming to a consensus which is she is not that hot. Let it be known if she was beautiful people would say she maybe pretty but her soul is ugly, people are saying out right she is nothing special to look at and furthermore not a very nice person. If people who do not know her can get this irritated by her, imagine those in her life?! Poor people.

“Perhaps then the sisterhood will finally stop judging me so harshly on what I look like, and instead accept me for who I am.” ........Who you “are”, according to you, is JUST looks. You spend the whole article basing your entire personality and identity upon how you look..... and then you ask us to judge us on who you are. Well, you ARE your looks as you say, so I’ll judge you accordingly. You haven’t told us your interests, hobbies, or passions, which seem only to LOOK GOOD. Again, circular argument here, I’ll judge you accordingly. Because your personality IS your looks according to your logic, I’d say you were a highly mediocre person.
She looks almost exactly like a friend of mine - attractive, but not outstandingly so. I agree with your rating. My friend, however has a wonderful, effervescent personality, which is worth another point.
Remember how Alan Colmes would hike his eyebrow?
They’d make a cute couple.
"Women hate me and men only want to ..."
"Women hate me and men only want to ..."
Not what I would call guilty but not innocent either.
She’s not what I would call beautiful either. She’s rather plain in my opinion.
I think her comments are all a bunch of BS.
Beauty is like intelligence or integrity or humility.
People who need to talk about their surfeit of them, generally don't possess them.
at best she’s a Bagram 4
You’d think one of those men would have bought her an appointment at the dentist.
For a score that high, she must either be a relative or you've led a very, very sheltered life ;-)
