0:00
My partner is taller than me, but I don't care
0:02
I'm six feet on the dot. I'm 3'11". Man, when I tell you social media has every say in our relationship
0:11
He is giving off predator, bro. Somebody also said that's a little girl
0:17
This has to be a legal, bro. What? Even though I have the height of a child, I have woman features
0:23
Yes. Today, our friend Solo is coming over to discuss our relationship
0:28
He has strong opinions and he's not holding back. At all. So what did you think when I first started dating Kelsey
0:37
Not your type, really. My name is Cortavius Pate, but I go by dab
0:44
My name is Big K. My height is 3'11". My height is 6 feet
0:51
So I have something called achondroplasia. It's the most common form of dwarfism
0:56
I think it's cute. I love it. I've never imagined dating anyone significantly shorter than me
1:02
I see Kelsey as if she's tall. Kelsey acts like she's six feet tall sometimes
1:09
She do not act that height. I hear someone laugh, I automatically just assume
1:14
Because it's what people do when they see it. The laughs, I'll be like
1:18
A lot of people mess with her. People think I'm, like, incompetent
1:23
Before they even talk to me, it's very offending, I would say
1:27
Like people can impose. They can try and talk to them in front of me
1:33
or try and disrespect me and feel easily about it because of the fact that I'm shorter
1:39
They be following us around laughing at us. But us together, we're like a super power couple together
1:47
We met on Instagram. He had DM'd me, you know, the casual DM
1:53
You know, the casual slot DM. Yeah We were homies at first Yeah we really was We was locked in like this And we you know decided that we were attracted to each other We been together for two years
2:06
I've always dated men taller than me. She like me tall. Yeah
2:12
My height does hold me back in my everyday life. Everything in my house is pretty tall
2:18
That often helps me get things I can't reach when I'm cooking. For example, the bread
2:23
Which I needed like two seconds ago. Growing up, I did feel different in some ways
2:28
I adapted well, but it was more so how people perceived me more than I perceived myself
2:35
But in terms of now, you know, it's all good. A big thing people try and say is that this is not acceptable
2:44
It's not acceptable for a little person. To be with a taller man due to them thinking I have childlike features
2:53
Exactly. Which is crazy. Because even though I have echondroplasia, which makes me the height of a child
3:01
I have woman features. Yes. This is a woman. It's a grown woman next to me
3:06
Some people try and say that it would be bad for Dab to have a kid with me
3:11
Oh, yeah. Because he is giving off Predator Rock. Yeah. Somebody said, this is so weird
3:18
It has 6,000 likes. Somebody also said, that's a little girl. Are y'all gonna keep saying this grown woman is a little girl
3:27
There's a huge one. Remember, dad and daughter combo. Oh, yeah. Dad and daughter
3:33
Or the big one, keep him away from elementary schools, you know
3:38
Yeah, don't take me a new year at elementary school. Look, didn't that one get, like, 5,000 likes, you know
3:44
This is the uncle you don't let babysit your little niece. Maybe you should go figure that out with your family
3:50
This has to be illegal, bro. Oh, girl. What? How? Come on
3:57
I literally 22 I over 21 She over 21 The fact that you sit on your phone
4:07
and you think that and type that is kind of insane to me
4:12
None of our friends or family were really concerned about our relationship other than our friend Daryl
4:18
When dad first got with Kelsey, it was just something different. I'm used to seeing him with black females
4:25
we never met nobody short and like you know what I'm saying in my head at the time to be honest I
4:30
didn't think it was nothing like serious so what did you think when I first started dating Kelsey
4:37
not your type really okay so you was kind of like this is just something new yeah I mean because you
4:50
You know, since I've known you, I just, you know, grew and knew what type of type of female you usually talk to
4:57
So it was something different. Did you ever, like, imagine that being with a little person
5:05
I mean, under 5'5", a little person, but you just extra little
5:09
So it wasn't nothing too crazy. You always date little people. It fed me
5:15
So, man, be honest. Was you surprised by Kelsey Hyde? When I first met her, yeah
5:22
He said a little person was coming over. But, you know, seeing what he was believing at that time was crazy, let me feel it
5:28
What did you think when we first started dating first? Nothing too crazy
5:33
Something to get used to. Because, you know, like I said, that's not something he usually get into, you feel me
5:39
But he committed, so it was just something to get used to. Nothing too crazy. But I don't got no problem with something new, spectacular, you feel me
5:48
And she cool, so. Is there anything like you think we could do better for a relationship
5:53
Lots of it. First, let's start out about waking up earlier, brother
5:58
Who sleeps till 2 3 o and stay up all night It may not call me at 1 o in the morning Y arguing Stop the arguing But nothing too crazy
6:08
Typical relationship thing that people got to build on. Feel me? Nothing too crazy
6:12
No, I'm perfect. I know we said everything, but what you think about our relationship now
6:16
I've seen a lot of progression. You know what I'm saying? Still a little nitpick
6:21
You know what I'm saying? Y'all can work on certain things. But at the end of the day, y'all stay motivated
6:25
Stay in the mindset of doing better for y'allself. Y'all will get what y'all need to go in life
6:31
Yes, ma'am. Daph has changed my life for better in multiple ways
6:37
He's my biggest supporter, so he's constantly urging me and challenging me to be a better me
6:44
I mean, like, I never had a personality come into my life that's so small with such big personality
6:50
I've achieved so much social media-wise, and I've got way bigger than what I ever thought I could achieve with Kelsey
6:58
We want to accomplish any and everything, like TV-wise, movies. I think what he's trying to say is, okay, we, you know, eventually down the line would want kids and marriage
7:12
Right now, we want to do as much as we can for ourselves so that we can have that later on
7:19
We're some sort of best friends, and we confide in each other, and we tell each other everything, and we try and be completely honest
7:27
And when we do go through a hard time, I feel like we haven't given up yet
7:32
Yes. And for those that got something to say about us and it's negative
7:37
Negative? Zip it up. And throw it. Throw it away. Throw it away
