A term we never heard before is apparently now a thing -- and it just reinforces how mean some people are.
Dana & Parks share a story about a woman who says she gets trolled online over her "mixed-weight relationship." She is plus-sized, her boyfriend is not, and haters apparently think she should only be dating someone her size.
The woman in question calls herself 'Thickney' Spearks and she's a proudly plus-size lifestyle influencer who has faced a 'barrage of haters' over the fact she's with a thin boyfriend. After she was attacked, she said the 'haters' were fueled by jealousy.
The weight gap has never bothered either of them, but host Dana wondered when size differences are true in relationships, whether the male or female partner tended to be the larger one. "How common is it that right out of the gate you're in a mixed weight relationship?" Dana asked, vs. a situation where one partner changes in size over time.
No matter how anyone feels, the hosts agreed it was an 'uncomfortable situation' to discuss. But why?
