I started gaining weight at TWO – now I’m 28.5st & trolled by men who think I’m dirty – their loss, I’m chic as anything
DATING can be awkward at the best of times, but for one plus-size women it’s almost always a nightmare.
Nina, from Philadelphia, weighs 28.5st and has had many bad experiences on the dating scene.
The singleton told Truly that dating as a fat girl comes with plenty of problems.
Nina, 35, admitted she doesn’t feel like men respect her because of her size, but despite her failed romances she’s still on the hunt for someone who is proud to show her off.
Weight has always been a sensitive topic for Nina, who started piling on the pounds when she was just two-years-old.
Since then her size has skyrocketed, but the stunner still knows she deserves the real deal when it comes to love.
“It is hard because I think men, they’re just kind of like trash.
“When you see a fat person you automatically think they are lazy, they stink,” she said.
One of the main concerns for Nina is that men will see her has “something to conquer” and fetishize her for being plus-size, rather than wanting to peruse an actual relationship.
“I want that fairy tale, I want the man that comes in and stuff I can’t figure out, he figures it out for me, that person I can take on life with,” she said.
“I don’t want to have to question my self in my relationship. I don’t want to have to feel insecure in my relationship anymore,” she added.
Despite her rocky experience with men, Nina’s family have always been supportive and always complimented her looks growing up.
“I was delusionally confident because it’s the only way that I could actually get through life,” she explained.
After her interview with Truly was shared on YouTube people were left divided over Nina’s relationship issues.
One slammed: “Just because a man doesn’t want you doesn’t mean they are trash. Every man is not like that.”
And a second wrote: “Calling all men trash is going to make it hard to meet someone.”
Meanwhile, someone else said: “I hope she finds a way to love and care for herself.
“It is a really difficult thing to do, particularly when you feel really, really misunderstood.”
