Marina Smith, a 34-year-old model from São Paulo, Brazil, is upset because her friends won’t let her join their Christmas dinner. They think she is too pretty and fear that she might attract their husbands or boyfriends. Marina, who is also a former Miss Bumbum winner, feels their worries are unfair.
“I have been banned from Christmas dinner because the women think I’ll steal their men,” Marina said. She added that she never tried to flirt with her friends’ partners. “I just like to look good. The problem isn’t me; it’s their own insecurities,” she explained.
This situation isn’t unique to Marina. Another young woman, Sabrina Low, shared that she was taken out of a friend’s bridal party because the bride worried Sabrina would overshadow her. “It wouldn’t look good for me to be beside her at the altar,” Sabrina said.
A 29-year-old named Shye Lee from Florida also spoke out about the unfairness of being judged based on looks alone. “People treat you differently. They see your appearance and not who you are inside,” she explained.
Marina finds it hard to be left out, especially since she is single and feels lonely watching her friends with their partners. “Being single already makes it hard to go out, but now my looks seem to scare them,” she said. Despite wearing bold outfits, she insists her goal is not to attract attention from her friends’ partners. “The problem isn’t with me,” she repeated.
