‘My boyfriend is way hotter than me – I love when women hit on him’
A young woman in the US has shared that she loves when other women try to pick up her boyfriend – who she says is “way out of her league”.
He’s “way out of her league” – but one woman loves when other women try and hit on her “hot” boyfriend.
Convinced she’s got a ten-out-of-ten heartthrob for a boyfriend, a purportedly “unbothered” brunette says the best part about having an attractive man is watching him turn down other girls when they attempt to steal him away behind her back.
“My favourite part about having a hot boyfriend who’s way out of my league is the ego boost,” Alexis Makenzie announced in a TikTokvideo with over 12.1 million views, the New York Post reports.
“I go out of town for work a lot, so he just be out doing things in the wild by himself,” the 23-year-old, a coastal engineer from Tampa, Florida, continued of her 25-year-old boyfriend, Gary Wilson.
“Girls are bold enough when I’m around. But when I’m not around, it’s a whole new level of audacity. There are girlies who wait for me to not be around to shoot their shot [at my boyfriend].”
But rather than fuming with fury over the foul offence, Makenzie chuckles at the overt flirts.
“I find it hilarious,” she insisted. “I’m not threatened by it in the slightest because I am extremely secure in my relationship.
“It’s that much more funny that I’m unbothered by it. Because I feel like the worse pain for them is getting rejected by him without me being there and without me having to ever say anything or get involved.”
In fact, Makenzie not only enjoys when women try to swindle Wilson away, she also urges him to withhold his relationship status from them when rebuffing their advances.
“I encourage him to reject them but not say it’s because he has a girlfriend,” she said.
“I think it’s that much funnier to get rejected on your own volition than just because he’s unavailable.
“I don’t know if I’m wrong for that. But what an ego boost. I love having a hot boyfriend.”
But social media sceptics questioned Makenzie’s cool attitude towards other women.
“I have a feeling she’s very bothered,” one wrote, doubting her claims of being “unbothered” by the disrespect.
“Fellas date the ugly/semi pretty girl [because they’re] not used to male attention [and] will treat you very good. That’s what he’s doing,” another wrote, suggesting that Makenzie’s boyfriend is merely using her.
“Bro settled for now, make sure you make your worth because he can move any second,” another said.
Sadly, Makenzie’s far from the first woman to be dragged for hooking an ultra attractive significant other.
Plus-size content creator Gina Miyares, from Boston, confessed that critics online regularly remind her that her husband, Josh, is “out of her league”, and must be hiding the fact that he’s “gay” by marrying her.
Meanwhile, in January, author Hazel McBride sent the internet into a frenzy when she revealed her “insanely hot” husband to TikTok before bullies argued that she was too “average-looking” to have him as a partner.
But like the others, Makenzie refused to be shaken.
Snapping back at her haters, she doubled down on her unfazed slant towards the online shade she received.
“Believe it or not, making a silly little video on a silly little clock app is not [equivocal] to real life emotions,” she said.
Fans commended her on her unflappable confidence.
“You’re amazing and beautiful … Keep being you,” one wrote.
“The girls can [shoot] their shot all they want, at the end of the day you know who is coming home,” another said.
