In this episode Lala is joined by fat rights activist Danica Marjanovic (@danica_marjanovic) and Life Coach Kayleigh Dixon (@kdlifecoach) to discuss fatness and dating. We discuss questions from followers including:

What is fat? Thickness is a trend but where is the line?

Is the word fat OK or offensive?

Is it wrong to utilise angles and lighting to hide your weight on dating apps?

How do you differentiate between being someone’s type and being fetishized?

The worry that they have underestimated your size in photos and how they will react in person and feeling the need to alert them to the fact that you are fat before meeting?

Is it fatphobic to not find fat people attractive?

How do I get rid of the feeling that I am not thin enough to be attractive to men?

I internalise thoughts like ‘I can start dating again when I’ve lost a bit of weight’

Do I need to decrease my standards after gaining 15kg? Handsome men feel out of my league now. Men are definitely less interested in me now that I am larger.

Lack of confidence during sex due to weight. Especially being on top.

This week Lala is joined by Ngozi Fulani and Ivy McCarthy from Sistah Space (@sistahspace_) to discuss Valerie's Law - Sistah Space work with African and Carribean heritage women who have experienced domestic or sexual abuse, or who have lost a loved one to domestic violence.

Lala is joined by comedian Jamali Maddix to answer questions sent in by followers:

Five dates in and the guy tells me he has served time in prison for a murder he committed when he was 14. Would you keep dating them?

I’m 28 and I have never had a relationship, all my friends are coupled up and buying houses and I find it impossible to think that it’s my fault for not attracting a partner. The men I like seem to all be prone to ghosting and breadcrumbing. What can I do?

Is cancel culture impacting on your comedy? Do you feel you have to censor yourself now?

Can professionals like nurses and teachers use party drugs or weed recreationally and still be good at their jobs?

My boyfriend has slept with a lot of people – how do I not feel insecure about my body and my sex skills with him?
