how a text message I received following a tinder date led to an international body shaming scandal.
Thanks for the love, Zooey xo
I made international headlines in July 2015 when a blog entry I wrote about an abusive message I received after one date garnered over 500,000 hits worldwide. I was interviewed on radio and held the attention of television audiences in London, UK, Chicago, USA and Melbourne, Australia.
The story has been covered in news outlets making headlines across major cities as far and wide as Russia, India, America, France, West Africa, Australia, Germany, Italy, Estonia, Denmark, Wales, Brazil, Serbia, Ireland and of course my native UK.
I've since written for the Independent, Stylist, Standard Issue, IB Times, and Shortlist about body image, feminism, online dating, and more.

Tinder Date.
On Monday I went on a first date with a man I met on Tinder. We met in a pub. After a couple of drinks we moved on to a restaurant. He bought me dinner. We strolled arm in arm on the South Bank. He walked me to the train station, where we kissed. It wasn't earth-shattering, but all in all it was a fairly standard Pleasant Evening.
The next day, I received the following message from him (be warned, it gets pretty nasty).
Hey Michelle, sorry been super busy at work today hun.
Thanks for a wonderful evening last night. I really enjoyed your company and actually adore you. You're cheeky and funny and just the sort of girl I would love to go out with if only my body and mind would let me. But I fear it won't.
I'm not going to bull***t you... I f***ing adore you Michelle and I think you're the prettiest looking girl I've ever met. But my mind gets turned on my someone slimmer.
Shallow? It's not meant to be. It's the same reaction you get when you read a great author or see an amazing image, or listen to a piece of music you love, it has that instant reaction in you that makes you crave more.
So whilst I am hugely turned on by your mind, your face, your personality (and God...I really, really am), I can't say the same about your figure. So I can sit there and flirt and have the most incredibly fun evening, but I have this awful feeling that when we got undressed my body would let me down. I don't want that to happen baby. I don't want to be lying there next to you, and you asking me why I'm not hard.
There are certain triggers that fire my imagination into life and your wit and intelligence are the beginning of that process which would inevitably end up in the bedroom. With just one result....
I'm so disappointed in myself Michelle because I've genuinely not felt this way about anyone in ages, but I'm trying to be honest with you without sounding like a total knobhead.
We could be amazing friends, we could flirt and joke and adore each other and.... f*** me... I would marry you like a shot if you were a slip of a girl because what you have in that mind of yours is utterly unique, and I really really love it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm trying to avoid bigger pain in the future by telling you now so we don't have to go through that embarrassment. I'm a man... With all the red hot lusts of a man and all the failings of a man and I'm sure of my own body and its needs.
Please try and forgive me. I adore you xx
It's taken me a few days to sit down and respond. I've been busy.
Dear Man I Met On Tinder.
I was on another date when I received your message. He returned from the loo to find me in a flood of tears. He was lovely, but baffled, and hasn't been in touch since, funnily enough.
You don't have to fancy me. We all have a good friend who we look at ruefully and think “you're lovely, but you just don't tickle my pickle”. We wish we were attracted to them, but our bodies and our brains don't work like that. And that's fine.
What isn't fine is the fact that, after a few hours in my company, you took the time to write this utterly uncalled-for message. It's nothing short of sadistic. Your tone is saccharine and condescending, but the forensic detail in which you express your disgust at my body is truly grotesque. The only possible objective for writing it is to wound me.
And I'm ashamed to say, for a few moments, it worked. You stirred a dormant fear that every woman who was ever a teenage girl has – that it doesn't matter how funny you are, how clever, how kind, how passionate, how loyal, how determined or adventurous or vibrant – if you're a stone overweight, no one will ever find you desirable.
I like the way I look. I don't look like Charlize Theron, and that's fine - I look like me, and I like myself (I'm sure I'd like Charlize Theron, too if I ever met her. I hear good things).
You may think are all my profile pictures are "FGASs" (That's Fat Girl Angle Shots – pictures from angles that slim and flatter the girl. Because men only ever use candid, brutally-lit, unfiltered pics). But I think they're a fair representation. And I'm pretty upfront about who I am: I describe myself as a woman who loves pizza, and include links to myInstagram page, where I have the #everybodysready bikini shots I took on my 30th birthday. I like to think I come across as a confident, happy woman. But could this be the very reason you have targeted me? Did you see me and think “She has far too high an opinion of herself, she needs bringing down a peg or two”? I have to ask - we all know the internet is a dangerous place to be a woman with opinions (I discovered this first hand when I ventured a response to those obnoxious bloody adverts).
I showed your message to friends who expressed shock, horror, embarrassment on your behalf, and a desire to cause you actual physical harm. One male friend told me I have a lovely bottom “if unmarriageable”. I laughed with them. Then I cried in my Slimming World group. That's right! Slimming World! You see, I already KNOW that I'm overweight. I can tell you exactly how overweight I am – 20 pounds. I've already lost 15, and I've a stone and a half to go. I'm happy with that. I will get rid of it, safely and healthily. Does that mean that I can't love and enjoy my body now? F*** no.
I'll never see or hear from you again (you may feel the need to respond to this blog. Please don't. There's nothing you can say that will make me think that you're not a disgrace to your gender).
What truly concerns me, the real reason I'm responding so publicly, is the fact that you have a 13 year old daughter. A talented illustrator, who collects Manga comics and wants to visit Japan as soon as possible.
I want you to encourage your daughter to love, enjoy, and care for her body. It belongs to her and only her. Praise her intellect, and her creativity. Push her to push herself and to be fearless. Give her the tools to develop a bomb-proof sense of self-esteem so that if (I'll be kind. I'll say “if”.) the time comes that a small, unhappy man attempts to corrode it, she can respond as I do now.
Simon.
Kiss.
My.
Exquisitely.
Unmarriagable.
Arse.
P.S. “Slip of a girl”? CHRIST ALIVE, that's creepy.
P.P.S. You're not 5'11

FROM MASHABLE, NEW YORK
This woman was body-shamed by a Tinder — and she's fighting back
KATIE DUPERE
KATIE DUPERE
Body-shaming in the online dating world isn't a new trend — and that's exactly why we need to talk about it.
While women on the receiving end of Internet hate are pretty amazing at holding their own, the comments they face are inexcusable. UK native Michelle Thomas knows that firsthand, thanks to a recent date gone bad. Now, she's doing something about it.
In late June, Thomas went on a date with a man she met on dating app Tinder. Drinks turned into dinner, and then an evening spent on the town. It ended with a kiss, and left Thomas thinking of the the experience as a "pleasant evening."
That is, until she received a 400-word, body-shaming text message from her date the following night. He said he adored her and would marry her, if only she were a "slip of a girl." Then, it gets worse: He was afraid his body would fail him if their relationship turned sexual, stating "with all the red-hot lusts of a man and all the failings of a man ... I'm sure of my own body and its needs."
The message, which praised her personality and smarts and wit, reduced her datability down to her body.
At first, Thomas cried. Then, she got angry. That's when a friend encouraged her to publish his message, and a response to it, online. She did, in a blog post that has gone viral over the past week.
In her post, Thomas confronts her date's comments, saying his "tone is saccharine and condescending," and his only objective was clearly to wound her. She goes on to say he "stirred a dormant fear that every woman who was ever a teenage girl has — that it doesn't matter how funny you are, how clever, how kind, how passionate, how loyal, how determined or adventurous or vibrant — if you're a stone overweight, no one will ever find you desirable."
That blog post now has 130,000 views and counting.
"That's a really clear indicator. That really demonstrates that we need to have this conversation about the power of shamewe need to have this conversation about the power of shameand how many people feel so ashamed of their bodies," Thomas tells Mashable.
Since her letter went viral, Thomas has received "thousands upon thousands" of messages from women who have been body-shamed via online dating, or simply in everyday life. To encourage this conversation to continue, Thomas posted a picture to Instagram including an email address where people could reach her — and people definitely wanted to talk.
The generic email address shut down almost immediately from being overloaded with messages. She soon replaced it with a new address with its own domain.
Thomas says she has heard from women around the world, from Canada to East Africa to Pakistan. Their messages all echo the same sentiment: Yes, we need to talk about this. And Thomas is making sure it happens for her and for them.
"I've got what I need," she says. "I've got sturdy boots on. I've got my big-girl panties on. I'm rolling up my sleeves.
I've cracked my knuckles and I'm saying, 'Let's talk. Let's get on with it.'I've cracked my knuckles and I'm saying, 'Let's talk. Let's get on with it.'"
Thomas is hoping to support other women who can relate to her Tinder mishap. The goal, she says, was never to damage her date's reputation; in fact, she's determined to keep his identity anonymous.
"It's not about shaming this guy. It's about standing up to a bully," she says. "The language of that message is the language of manipulation and the language of control."
While Thomas says there is no shame in having preferences when it comes to who you date, the problem is "when you make those preferences someone else's problem."
She maintains that the man she dated could have wished her the best, but state that their chemistry was flat. That, in her opinion, is a normal response after a first date where you aren't that into the person. Sending a 400-word text lamenting about how someone's body makes them undateable, as if it is a problem they need to fix, is not a normal response.
And, if there was any lingering doubt, her body-shaming date has definitely seen the post. In fact, Thomas sent it to him personally the day it was posted.
"He very politely requested that I take it down," she says. "I very politely declined."
The last contact she had with him was after the post started getting serious press a few days ago — and only then to assure him he wouldn't be identified publicly.
Perhaps the most powerful moment in Thomas' letter is when she cites an unlikely inspiration for penning the response: her date's 13-year-old daughter. In the letter, Thomas writes:
"I want you to encourage your daughter to love, enjoy and care for her body. It belongs to her and only her ... Give her the tools to develop a bomb-proof sense of self-esteem so that if ... the time comes that a small, unhappy man attempts to corrode it, she can respond as I do now."
But she says she also wrote the letter for all the women who have been impacted by body-shaming in its many forms, not only in the online dating sphere.
"Know that your worth is more than your physical mass," she wants to tell those women. "So much more."
Thomas is determined to continue the conversation around body-shaming, hoping to empower girls with a new-found movement she's calling "Healthy Happy Hot."
"Because if you aim for the first two, the third will come naturally."

These folk do.
As you know, I've been getting thousands of messages from people who've been affected by shame, bullying and abuse because of the way they look. While I'm honoured that they're confiding in me, there are those who need help or advice which I am, sadly, unqualified to offer. If you don't live in the UK, please can you post links to your country's version of these charities on my Facebook page or submit using the form below right. If you are one of those who has contacted me - thank you for being brave, and taking the first step. You deserve to be healthy and happy. Please, please, please - seek help. PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES WITH THESE QUALIFIED & COMPASSIONATE FOLKS:
