How did the meeting go? Maggie had arranged to meet the man, whom she likely met online, at a restaurant. When she arrived, he hugged her and asked if she was hungry. He then suggested they go inside. Interestingly, after a few moments, he asked if they could leave. Once they were outside, he said that he didn’t want to hurt her feelings but just wasn’t feeling it. Maggie felt humiliated but quickly left the restaurant and went home. "Dating sucks when you’re fat," she concluded in her video.
In one interview, the 32-year-old revealed more details about the unpleasant encounter. She said that as she started walking toward her car, the man said, "I’m sorry, it’s because of your weight." Maggie recalled feeling ashamed at that moment. She added that since her video went viral, she has received many messages from people dealing with similar issues.
The video received many comments. Several viewers expressed their support for Maggie. "You’re beautiful, and that man definitely didn’t deserve you," "Be glad you didn’t waste time on him," and "Thank you for your honesty, I have a very similar problem" were just a few of the comments under the TikTok video. Interestingly, some viewers speculated that the man’s behavior might suggest he saw someone he knew in the restaurant. Some even suggested it could have been his wife or girlfriend.
