A woman has shared the reality of dealing with body shaming from men daily - but she knows deep down they 'secretly fancy' her.
Plus size model Olivia Messina recieves a barrage of hate from blokes online, but she doesn't let it phase her as she happily flaunts her size 22 curvaceous figure.
In the ultimate comeback, the 22-year-old shared a snap of her in a bra and sports leggings eating a sandwich, and wrote a sassy response to the haters to show she isn't bothered. She said: "Isn't it ironic that the type of woman you claim to be unattracted to keeps showing up on your feed?

(instagram.com/oliviasworld95)"I definitely think there's something psychological at play when people online seek out fat bodies just to criticise and shame them. The majority of my hate comments are from straight men who have pictures or videos of their wives and children on their profile," she added.
The influencer from Ontario, Canada, knows that men are always looking at her body in awe and asks: "I always wonder, 'If my body is so disgusting to you, why are you always here looking at it?' I think it's because they are angry that they're slightly attracted to me since they believe conventionally, they shouldn't be, and therefore must degrade me to regain that sense of power they lost in their feelings of embarrassment and shame for that attraction. Just a hypothesis of mine…"

Olivia will sometimes respond to the comments when she's feeling adventurous (oliviasworld95 / Instagram)Usually, Olivia will ignore the comments, but occasionally will hit back at the trolls when she's feeling "adventurous" and will respond with comments such as 'Aww thanks' and said: "They immediately switch up and try to flirt with me. Is my hypothesis correct, then?
"Since I know how algorithms work, the last thing I'll ever do is engage with the content from someone who I deem unattractive. I guess these people don't know how algorithms work and sit in confusion when there are so many fat women on their 'for you page'.
"Anyways... I filmed a what I eat in a week video and will be posting it this week on my YouTube channel in bio (yes this sandwich that I'm holding is involved in the video)."

Glad you're in my feed and that algorithm works lol!" And another added: "Your incredible and we are lucky to be able to see you."
Another woman who receives body-shaming comments wrote: "You are spot on! The hate I received a few days ago was hilarious given that they were following me and many others with curves," and a second penned: "You are beautiful!!! Thank you for representing us!!"
