Honestly, I think she did this for the publicity. The more attention she gets, good and bad, feeds her ego.

I think MORE to the point is that women are envious of other women who have the *Confidence* that they are attractive (I'm not talking about conceit here, though it does seem to be a very fine line) and I do believe that confidence is a vibe that men are picking up. People can tell if you have the self-respect to put a bit of effort into looking better. Trying to remind myself of this at the very moment!: looking better leads to feeling better leads to looking better, etc,etc,etc...

I don't pity her at all. Why on earth would someone write an article claiming that other women are intimidated by them? There are so many answers to this and none of them prove that she's an innocent victim of catty behaviour. Yes, women can be catty. However, so can men and sometimes men are the worst. She may have been treated like crap, but after reading this article there's no way that I can believe that her attitude did not provoke some of her treatment. It's one thing to have self-esteem and that is not a problem at all, but her ego colours her horribly.

While I don't agree that she's pretty (she's not ugly, but just not what I personally like), I will personally admit that I can be very jealous of women prettier than me, and looking at them makes me feel like hiding. However, some women who are really beautiful don't come with a stuck-up attitude (confidence, yes, but not the "I'm better than you because I look like Barbie" thing). I feel more comfortable around those women because they don't lord their attractiveness over others: they love themselves, but they don't feel the need to look down on people, and they treat their beauty as a gift that they're lucky to have rather than as something that makes them inherently more valuable than another person.

It's rare that women have treated me badly for my looks (I'm not saying I'm beautiful, and I do have what many consider flaws such as freckles and small breasts, but I do have good muscle tone and nobody has ever called me ugly to my face despite having called me many other nasty names), though it happens often enough in a bar, just one reason I stay out of them. I have found a trick that deflects a lot of hostility, however: saying I'm a lesbian. This usually calms them down (and can be useful to keeping guys from bothering me, sometimes), though once in a blue moon I've then had the said female harass me or at least try to stroke her ego by getting me to desire her, and one thought it was funny to send guys my way. But I never used this line at a fitness club I used to go to as I'm sure some of the more homophobic women there would try--possibly with a lie--to get me kicked out so they didn't have to change clothes or shower with me in the locker room.

Though one thing that helps is I usually don't dress to impress guys or draw their attention. Leave the miniskirt at home and don't smile (beyond the polite smile) too much at strange guys and many women won't assume the worst about you being competition or a homewrecker. I'm genuinely not that interested in picking up guys and once women realize that most of them no longer consider me a threat.

If you're a woman reading this – or, more importantly, looking at the pictures – you will know exactly what I'm talking about: you probably feel like telling me there's a wasp near my hair, just so you can reach out and muss it up a little.

If you're a man, on the other hand, you've doubtless already formed an opinion about me. You almost certainly find me a threat – a threat to your career, your relationship, your masculinity. It's not something many men will dare to speak publicly about, but being terribly, terribly handsome is a double-edged sword. For every female Starbucks employee who made it her business to remember my name, there was a male employer telling me to do up my top three shirt buttons in the office. I can't tell you how many male acqaintances have stopped speaking to me over the years for petty "reasons" (unpaid debts, being alleged source of unpleasant rumour, refusal to appear as character witness), when jealousy is the transparent cause. I'll probably never know how many women have been too intimidated by my looks to talk to me, but I know exactly how many men have been angered enough by my face to try to punch it.
