A rose by any other name.... If anyone is familiar with that quote, without further ado, please explain.

Amy, you asked for opinions in your earlier threads. I could say that I think you look far too thin.... but it could be the angle of the photograph. I'm not jealous of you either, far from it.

[Amyadams67]

@boxtops never said you were jealous dear.

[Amyadams67]

Usually when people insult others, it stems from insecurity. I used to be one of those girls that would put others down.

[Amyadams67]

Now I'm all about empowering other women, such as myself!!

[Zacs-Master]

'Dear'. Mmm.

[boxtops]

Please don't call me dear, amy. It's patronising, and I'm old enough to be your grandmother.

[Amyadams67]

Also, I'm not a teenager, just because I look young.

You need an attitude adjustment Amy cause for all you know I could be in model agency recruitment. Beauty is from within and you are not going to get that with your' up yourelf' attitude. Also you are flaunting your photo on sites more frequented by middle aged men and women than children of your own age which I find a bit concerning.

[boxtops]

Yes, we know, you told us that before. You come across as very self-centred, amy - it's all about what you look like. Are you really like that?

[Amyadams67]

I don't understand why I always get rude comments when it comes to my looks, it's sad people these days lack being a decent human being in general, especially with racist remarks and what not. Sigh..

[boxtops]

Amy's in her twenties, retro, according to earlier threads - have a look

[Amyadams67]

Well the reason I posted it is because someone asked

[boxtops]

Amy, nobody's being racist on here. You asked us directly on one of your first posts what we thought of your ethnicity. You are not being got at - it's just all about you. You ask questions, we give our point of view. There are some extremely good people on this site who are hugely and generously supportive in time of people's need - you haven't been here long enough to see that yet. You keep posting pics of yourself then not liking it if people don't flatter you. That to me is vain and self-promoting.

[Amyadams67]

I'm sorry but I just don't understand how I come across as self centered. I even stated I didn't like certain aspects of my appearance, like my nose for instance. So how does that come across as me being self centered? I never said I was model either.

[Amyadams67]

I never said I was a model either**

[Amyadams67]

@retrochic whether or not you're in a modeling agency recruitment has no effect on my life.

[237SJ]

You look ever so much like my Vietnamese hairdresser (and I don`t think you`re too thin)

[Peaspeculiars]

Amy, you posted a question about a saying then posted your picture to get a reaction from a group of randoms who don't know you.
Did you get the answer to your question? Yes.
Did you get the reaction you wanted to posting your picture? Yes.
If someone on here really has been asking for your picture, might I suggest that you get a throwaway email address from them and send it direct.
Exactly how does a picture of yourself in just a T-shirt help to empower women? It doesn't, it makes you look cheap and self centered.
Are you a good looking girl? yes. Am I jealous? No. Am I fed up with seeing other AB'ers winding each other up on purpose? yes.

[boxtops]

You keep asking us for opinions on what you look like, that's how it comes across. I don't know who asked for another pic or why they wanted it, that's immaterial.

[Amyadams67]

@237SJ thanks (:
