I’m slim and I date a ‘big man’ – trolls say I must be a gold digger but I don’t care that they slate us
A COUPLE in a mixed-weight relationship have hit back at trolls who claim there’s no way it can be real love.
Lexi has been branded a gold digger for being in a relationship with Kobe as they assume she must be with him for cash – not love.
Speaking to Truly the couple revealed how they met at school and became best friends.
But seven months later the pair began a romantic relationship – something Lexi was at first, apprehensive of.
She said: “Honestly, it was just his size. That was the only thing that was stopping me from being with him.”
“All of a sudden, it was like a light bulb just went on. Like it was so quick. It was just like that. And I was like, Kobe , I think I am in love with you.
“And then he thought I was playing, but I was for real.”
But now the couple are happy together and are hoping to get married.
Lexi added: “This is my first mixed weight relationship, it’s going pretty fantastic. I’m glad that I found the man that I’m going to marry early in my life.”
Kobe revealed he was the most ‘confident man in the world’ so never got bullied for his weight growing up – but it’s a different story online.
Now the couple regularly share their relationship, trolls are constantly leaving mean comments.
Lexi said: “Most judgement we get is the fat jokes that always come in our comments. How did you get her or she’s only after you for your money. She doesn’t like you for real. What are you dating?”
But the couple soon realised the more hate they got the more money they would get form posting online, so now film videos to purposely anger the trolls.
The clip shared on their YouTube account went viral with over 10,000 views and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: “Kobe has very nice good looking facial features, so she is true when she says it’s just the size issue.”
Another commented: “Big guys have big hearts women learn from them.”
What is a mixed-weight relationship?
The term is often used on social media, here we break down what it really means.
A mixed weight relationship refers to a romantic partnership between individuals who have significantly different body weights or sizes.
This type of relationship can involve one partner being notably heavier or lighter than the other.
Mixed weight relationships, like any other, are built on mutual respect, love, and understanding, but they may face unique societal pressures or biases due to the visible difference in body sizes.
It is important for partners in such relationships to support each other and address any external judgements or stereotypes they might encounter.
“There is nothing wrong with that. I say as long as they are both happy size shouldn’t matter,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “They are so cuteeee.”
“A beautiful couple. Don’t listen to the haters,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Who the hell cares about size as long as you love one another that’s the main thing.”
