We're starting to wonder if this is all just a big stunt. Samantha Brick, a 41-year-old British journalist who lives in France, wrote an article for The Daily Mail in which she complains about being, well, too "good-looking" and too "pretty." Only problem? Most readers don't agree with her self-assessment.

"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," she writes. "It is not just jealous wives who have frozen me out of their lives. Insecure female bosses have also barred me from promotions at work. Unfortunately women find nothing more annoying than someone else being the most attractive girl in a room."

As a result of her hardships, Brick is probably the only woman in the world looking forward to becoming less attractive. "So now I’m 41 and probably one of very few women entering her fifth decade welcoming the decline of my looks. I can’t wait for the wrinkles and the grey hair that will help me blend into the background," she writes.

The article quickly went viral, and even became a trending topic on Twitter, with most commenters completely baffled by Brick's self-confidence. Do you think Brick is as pretty as she says she is?

    Sounds like she's making up for her own insecurities by over stating her own attributes.
    But she isn't ugly. She's just an average looking person. Nothing special. But then neither am I. So I can't cut anyone down.

    This lady below is extraordinarily beautiful.

    I wouldn't necessarily call her delusional, she is, relatively, cute. But she's hardly the type of woman I would be concerned about if she attempted to get friendly with my boyfriend.

    I'm not arguing the point that she appears very pleasant looking. I think she's delusional in her feeling that other women are in any way threatened by her looks or that she feels those with wrinkles and gray hair "blend into the woodwork." As far as I'm concerned, pretty is as pretty does, and she is ........ well, lets just say lacking...

    I'd say she's certainly attractive, but not nearly to the point of it "becoming a hardship" as per the article...not even close.

    Yes she is pretty but she is nowhere near pretty enough to think she is in the top ten. That Canadian beauty contestant person IS in the top ten and danged if she/he ain't a guy!!! (in a manner of speaking people so calm down) so that should tell this Brit something.

    Holy crap if that is what passes for beauty over-seas then something is REALLY WRONG!
    Perhaps the other women hate her not because of her looks, but because she's delusional and more than likely, an extreme idiot. Look into her eyes, you can see the stupidity brewing :D

    It's a good thing to tell yourself you're pretty and be confident, but don't be conceited. Nobody likes a giant ego.

    She's not butt ugly but She's not Miss Universe either. But maybe she thinks she is all that because she surrounds herself with less attractive women. Surround a 5 with a bunch of twos and she ends up looking like a 10. If she is surrounding herself with homely women, of course she looks good at that point. Get her by herself and she reverts back to the 5 she really is.
