I’m shamed for my ‘wrinkly body’ as I’m dating at 69… but you can still Netflix & chill with wrinkles darling
DATING is never easy - no matter what your age is.
As if finding the one wasn't difficult enough, an older woman has hit back at trolls who body-shamed her for dating - well into her sixities.
Staying positive when you are single might be difficult for some, but not for 69-year-old Tina.
Better known as @tinagoesdating on TikTok, this OAP has been sharing her attempts to find true love before turning 70 - after splitting from her husband.
Her tongue-in-cheek videos regularly go viral with the older woman covering everything from catfishing, to first dates to being on Bumble.
Laughing off the ups and downs of her love life, Tina is far from an old romantic and her sassy attitude comes across in every video.

While most of her followers love her age-positive outlook, the singleton still gets cruel comments from trolls who criticise her for enjoying dating and sex at nearly 70.
Despite this, it hasn't stopped her from continuing her search and she even had a hilarious comeback in a recent video.
It was in response to a body-shaming comment, which read: "Ugh! Yuck lol, two wrinkled old bodies slapping together ewww."
Rather than letting it slow her down, the TikTok star wore a glittering striped dress and got glammed up before,joking about sex as an older woman.
Gesturing seductively to the camera, she pointedly said: "What's wrong with this writhing?"
She continued: "Anyways...if you add just a little soft lighting who is gonna feel and see the wrinkles...we are just gonna feel the twinkles."
In the caption, she pointedly added that you could still ‘Netflix and chill with wrinkles’ as she proved that age is just a number.
Unsurprisingly, her fans loved the hilarious response to the troll with one adding that they 'adored' the older woman and her response.
It isn't the first time that the senior dater has gone viral either, as she previously revealed that her ex-husband is still in love with her.
Though the content creator has moved on, she shared that her ex will still ring her on their anniversary - even though they separated years ago.
While she admits that she has fond memories of her ex, Tina laughed at the declaration of love – which had come decades too late.
Almost immediately after uploading the video, it gained over 29,000 views with fans empathising in the comments and claiming that she had ‘main character energy’.
When she isn’t fending off old flames, the content creator is getting also candid about being catfished, a possible long-distance relationship and meeting men whilst doing the weekly shop.
“I’m pulling even when I’m pulling my trolley and there’s nothing old lady about that,” she laughed in another viral video.
