The Burden of Beauty - Feedback Friday



Meet Samantha Brick, a free lance writer for The Daily Mail who wrote a column about the down side to being so beautiful.

Samantha explains that men are always sending her free bottles of champagne, waiters often refuse to let her pay for her meals, and gentlemen often pay for her cab fares, all because of her "pleasing appearance and pretty smile". So what is the downside you ask? Other women.

Samantha claims that most women are jealous of her so they have dropped her as friends, barred her from promotions at work, and never ask her to be a bridesmaid because of her beauty.

Samantha's article has received much attention and over 5,000 comments from men and women alike. You can read the original article, look at many photos of Samantha, and read some of the comments HERE.

It's Feedback Friday...

Specifically, what do you think of Samantha's article and the burden of her beauty?
