What you really mean is "no one in the world is more reviled than me", isn't it, Mrs. Brick? Take a pill.
Christianity promotes humility, but not false humility. Remember the story of Job? All his friends and neighbors tried to get him to apologize to God, but Job knew he hadn't sinned, so he just kept on truckin' instead of trying to deprecate himself.A-D. said:
I'm kind of saddened that so many people decided to take this conversation in the direction of criticizing Mrs. Brick's appearance, as if calling her an uggo is all the consideration and response she deserves. I suppose it can be argued that she brought it on herself by bringing the topic up in the first place, but I think a discussion publicly judging her attractiveness really misses the point, so all I'm going to say on the topic of how pretty she is is that it's a comparative standard, and you only have to be prettier than the person who's jealous of you for that jealousy to exist in the first place.
Personally, I'm inclined to believe that her complaint has some merit. I'm a white, straight man in America, so I should have all the benefits, right? Unfortunately, I've chosen a career path where those traits are held against me. In nursing, a field dominated widely by women, I'm ostracized, I'm denied work, and my coworkers will tell me right to my face how men don't have the emotional equipment for providing real medical care and should instead just be doctors, whom of course they consider to be arrogant know-it-alls whose only function is to get in a nurse's way while she provides the real medical care.
So yeah, I'm willing to bet that having an otherwise advantageous personal trait can be a liability a person would rather not deal with. As to whether Mrs. Bricks particular claims have any merit, well, who knows; but I find the principle sound.
Yeah, but then you call her out on her ARROGANCE, not her looks. Getting fussed about her looks makes people sound like the looks obsessed idiots she's proclaiming them to be.Abandon4093 said:
And note, I am not saying that caring about looks is silly, just that getting outraged that she's not a 10 is throwing wild punches at the wrong target.
Haha, I appreciate the sentiment. That's kind of why I quoted it instead of providing links. And I always go and annoy right wingers in the comments section to make up for the hits on the page.Shivarage said:
And just to clarify, I was being sarcastic with the praise!!
Wait she's saying SHE'S a beautiful woman? Now I don't like to judge people's looks but...no. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but no. There is something off about her face, the symmetry just isn't right. And her neck looks 4 years older then her face. And that smile is just fucken creepy. I'm sure their are people who think she's pretty but...from where I'm sitting no. Just...no.
Are you sure it's not because they think you're not attractive?
I hate the term "first world problems", buuuuut in this case it's fair to make an exception.

Alright, alright! I will admit it. You guys have the most beautiful woman in the world.
Admit it again.
The point that "People who are more attractive get treated differently than those who aren't" is a valid point, but it's no where near a new one. That idea's been around for thousands of years. In the modern world "if you're thin, you win" has been true in my experience.
Narrowing her argument down ("Attractive women get the short end of the stick in social circles") may be valid...? If it were, it really doesn't apply to enough people to warrant international attention. This whole story feels artificially inflated - i.e. trolled.
To me, she's not very attractive. I see more attractive women in my day-to-day life. I think it must be that disconnect that has folks riled up - the fact that she believes she is very beautiful to the outside world. I suppose it can be written up as "arrogance", I don't know. I'd classify it more as "overconfidence" even though the two share similar definitions, I always felt that "arrogance" had the idea of a priori or empirical proof of accomplishment whereas "confidence" could be likened to "faith" - as in, "I am confident that I can walk across the busy highway unharmed."

That comment combined with that avatar = RATFLAAILLLL!!!!!1!Swyftstar said:
OP: That woman is a low 6 to me. Her smile probably scares children, her looks are beginning to sag, and her personality is a whopping 2/10. I don't think I've seen this kind of legendary conceitedness since... well I can't think of a time =|
You wouldn't get this level if you combined Johnny Bravo with Austin Powers and Lord Farquad.
And no, people are not telling you off because you are pretty, they are telling you off because your head is so far up your ass that they can't see your face and tell if you are pretty.
I know many more girls that are much prettier than this wench, and they are not hounded by random guys buying things for her. I think she's full of shit.
