A Daily Mail journalist, Samantha Brick, yesterday complaining how life is so hard for her because of how beautiful she is.

When you hear her comments do you think that's how Asian girls see themselves? If you're a guy do you find that most Asian women are high maintenance and make unreasonable demands? Or do you think this stereotype is unfair and that Samantha Brick has a point. Life is hard if you're beautiful?
