In The Middle Of A Date, A Guy Asked If She Had “Thick Skin” Before Proceeding To Say She Looked Chubby On Social Media
Within moments of meeting her date, TikToker Amy (@itsamyyc) felt her initial excitement for the night becoming overshadowed by a stinging remark about her body. After he body-shamed her, she got up and left in the middle of their date.
So, a guy from work asked her out for drinks. They went to a pub and had a nice time at first. They got along well and were just chatting away when he suddenly asked her if she had “thick skin.”
Apparently, he wanted to tell her something that his roommate had said, but he had to make sure she would be able to handle it first.
Amy knew she was about to be insulted. He proceeded to inform her that he had shown his roommate her social media page.
His roommate had said she was pretty but that she looked chubby in her photos, so she would probably be chubby in person as well.
She sat there in disbelief. It took her a few minutes to process what he was saying to her. As she stared at him, she could see the realization that she was really offended wash over him.
Immediately, he tried to backtrack, emphasizing that she didn’t look chubby at all now that he had seen her in real life.
At that point, Amy’s mood had shifted severely. She was angry and irritated by his rudeness, so she confronted him about the negative comment he had made.
Then, he tried to gaslight her into thinking she was getting upset over nothing. He told her that he never said being chubby was a negative thing.

She pointed out that he had asked her beforehand if she had thick skin, which no one would do unless they were about to say something that could be perceived as offensive. She also gave him a lecture for a few minutes before getting up and leaving.
Now, whenever she posts a photo online, she’s constantly concerned about how she’s being perceived and wonders if other people think she’s chubby, too.
In the comments section, some TikTok users detailed instances in which they were shamed for their physical appearances.
“Ughhh, the worst is being body-shamed on a date. I had a guy ask me if I wanted to go eat, and I was like, ‘Yeah, sure, I’ll eat anything,’ and he patted my belly and said, ‘I can see that.’ I LITERALLY WALKED OUT,” commented one user.
“One guy on a date told me I look skinnier in my photos and also told me my septum ring reminds him of a cow,” revealed another.
“I once texted a guy after a first date that I didn’t feel it, and he said, ‘You weren’t even that conventionally pretty anyways,'” added someone else.
