I’m a size 16 gypsy – people are always so shocked that I’m ‘pretty AND fat’… it’s the most back-handed compliment
A SIZE 16 gypsy has hit back at men who tell her that she’s pretty and fat.
The uniquely-named Trewley Precious admitted it’s a comment she often hears – men saying: “I don’t really date big girls but you fine!”
“Why do guys do that?” Trewley questioned in a video on her TikTok page.
“Listen, if you are a fellow big girl, a fellow fatty like myself, Hi, how are ya.
“People are so shocked when you’re pretty and fat.
“I’ve literally had boys go to me, ‘I don’t really date big girls but you are stunning’.
“Boy! Firstly, you’re not as stupid as you look, correct?
“I am stunning.
“Me being fat don’t mean I’m ugly.”
Trewley continued by urging “the mandom out there” never to approach a girl with a “backhanded compliment”.
“Why would you even start with that combo?” she said.
“She isn’t gonna go, ‘I don’t really date skinny, bald, receding hairline, under 6ft, not really got a good job, don’t provide for his mum or help her out in any way, spends his money on drugs and alcohol every weekend, but you’re so handsome.
“‘Honestly, you’re so handsome’.
“You know what I mean? That ain’t gonna leave her mouth.”
People quickly flocked to the comments section to weigh in, with one writing: “You are NOT fat.”
“You are not fat my love … very pretty though,” another insisted.
Trewley then responded to all those comments in another video, as she said: “Listen, I think a lot of people getting things twisted, so let’s clear things up.
“A lot of people in the comments keep saying this like ‘you are not fat’, right?
“But hear me out, I’m not saying this as an insult to myself.
“I love that I’m a big girl. I’ve always been a big girl since I was around six years old.”
She added that “what you guys need to remember is that in the UK a size 12 is plus size”.
“And I am a size 14 to 16,” she continued.
“When I was a teenager, I would probably say I was like a size 18.
“And then I went down to 16 and now I’m a 14 to 16 and I still wanna lose more weight because I’m getting my boobs done.”
She concluded by reiterating: “Me saying that I’m fat is not an insult.
“I am a curvy 5 foot 11, almost six foot stallion. That’s what I am.
“A f**king bad gal, babe.”
“Size 12 is not plus size whatttt?!” one person commented on that video.
To which Trewley replied: “It used to be when I was younger lol.
“I’m aware now!”
“Size 16 is plus size not size 12,” another insisted.
“I’m still a 14-16, still plus size,” Trewley hit back.
“Your vibe is the kind of vibe all us bigger girls need!” someone else praised.
“This has made me feel so much better about myself in size 14-16 too,” another wrote.
“This is the best attitude,” someone else wrote.
