00:00My partner is taller than me, but I don't care.
00:02I'm six feet on the dot.
00:04I'm 3'11".
00:06Man, when I tell you social media has every say
00:10in our relationship.
00:11He is giving off predator, bro.
00:14Somebody also said that's a little girl.
00:17This has to be illegal, bro.
00:20What?
00:20Even though I have the height of a child,
00:22I have woman features.
00:24Yes.
00:24Today, our friend Solo is coming over
00:27to discuss our relationship.
00:28He has strong opinions, and he's not holding back.
00:32At all.
00:32So what did you think when I first started dating Kelsey?
00:37Not your type, really.
00:41My name is Cortavius Pate, but I go by dab.
00:44My name is Big K.
00:47Kel, my height is 3'11".
00:49My height is six feet.
00:51So I have something called achondroplasia.
00:53It's the most common form of dwarfism.
00:56I think it's cute.
00:57I love it.
00:58I've never imagined dating anyone significantly shorter than me.
01:02I see Kelsey as if she's tall.
01:05Kelsey acts like she's six feet tall sometimes.
01:09She do not act that height.
01:11I hear someone laugh.
01:12I automatically just assume.
01:14Because it's what people do when they see us.
01:16They'll laugh.
01:17So I'll be like...
01:18A lot of people mess with her.
01:21People think I'm incompetent before they even talk to me.
01:24It's very offending, I would say.
01:27People can impose.
01:29They can try and talk to them in front of me or try and disrespect me and feel easily about it because of the fact that I'm shorter.
01:38They be following us around laughing at us.
01:41But us together, we're like a super power couple together.
01:45We met on Instagram.
01:48He had DMed me, you know, the casual DM.
01:52The casual slot DM.
01:53Yeah.
01:54The casual slot DM.
01:55Yeah.
01:56We were homies in front of me.
01:57Yeah, we really was.
01:58We was locked in like this.
01:59And we, you know, decided that we were attracted to each other.
02:03We've been together for two years.
02:06I've always dated men taller than me.
02:08She like me tall.
02:11Yeah.
02:12My height does hold me back in my everyday life.
02:15Everything in my house is pretty tall.
02:17Dab often helps me get things I can't reach when I'm cooking.
02:21For example, the bread, which I needed like two seconds ago.
02:25Growing up, I did feel different in some ways.
02:28I adapted well, but it was more so how people perceived me more than I perceived myself.
02:35But in terms of now, you know, it's all good.
02:39A big thing people try and say is that this is not acceptable.
02:44It's not acceptable for a little person.
02:46To be with the taller man due to them thinking I have childlike features.
02:53Exactly.
02:54Which is crazy because even though I have echondroplasia, which makes me the height of a child,
03:02I have woman features.
03:03Yes.
03:04This is a woman.
03:05It's a grown woman next to me.
03:06Some people try and say that it would be bad for Dab to have a kid with me.
03:11Oh, yeah.
03:12Because he is giving off predator vibe.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Somebody said this is so weird.
03:18It has 6,000 likes.
03:21Somebody also said that's a little girl.
03:24Are y'all going to keep saying this grown woman is a little girl?
03:28There's a huge one.
03:29Remember, dad and daughter combo.
03:31Oh, yeah.
03:32Dad and daughter.
03:33Or the big one, keep him away from elementary schools, you know?
03:38Yeah, don't take me a near elementary school.
03:40Didn't that one get like 5,000 likes, you know?
03:44This is the uncle you don't let babysit your little niece.
03:48Maybe you should go figure that out with your family.
03:50This has to be illegal, bro.
03:52Oh, bro.
03:54What?
03:55How?
03:56Come on.
03:57I'm literally 22.
04:00I'm over 21, she over 21.
04:04The fact that you sit on your phone and you think that and type that is kind of insane to me.
04:12None of our friends or family were really concerned about our relationship other than our friend Daryl.
04:18When dad first got with Kelsey, it was just something different.
04:23I'm used to seeing him with black females.
04:25We never met nobody short in life, you know what I'm saying?
04:28In my head, at the time, to be honest, I didn't think it was nothing like serious.
04:33So, what did you think when I first started dating Kelsey?
04:40Not your type, really.
04:42Okay.
04:43So, you was kind of like, this is just something new?
04:48Yeah.
04:49I mean, because, you know, since I've known you, I just grew and knew what type of female you usually talk to, so it was something different.
04:59Did you ever, like, imagine dad being with a little person?
05:04I mean, under 5'5", a little person, but you just extra little.
05:09So, it wasn't nothing too crazy.
05:12He always date little people.
05:14It fed me.
05:15So, man, be honest.
05:17Was you surprised by Kelsey Height?
05:20When I first met her, yeah.
05:22He said a little person was coming over, but, you know, seeing what believing at that time was crazy.
05:28What did you think when we first started dating first?
05:32Nothing too crazy.
05:33Something to get used to.
05:34Because, you know, like I said, he not, that's not something he usually get into, you feel me?
05:39But he committed, so it was just something to get used to.
05:42Nothing too crazy.
05:43But, I don't got no problem with something new, spectacular, you feel me?
05:47And she cool, so.
05:49Is there anything, like, you think we could do better for a relationship?
05:53Lots of.
05:54First, let's start a lot about, like, waking up earlier, buddy.
05:58Who sleeps till 2, 3 o'clock and stay up all night?
06:01They may not call me at 1 o'clock in the morning, y'all arguing.
06:04Stop the arguing.
06:06But, nothing too crazy.
06:08Typical relationship things that people got to build on.
06:10You feel me?
06:11Nothing too crazy.
06:12They were perfect.
06:13I know we said everything, but what you think about our relationship now?
06:16I've seen a lot of progression.
06:18You know what I'm saying?
06:19Still little nitpicks, you know what I'm saying?
06:21Y'all can work on certain things, but at the end of the day, y'all stay motivated,
06:25stay in the mindset of doing better for y'allself.
06:28Y'all will get where y'all need to go in life.
06:30Yes, ma'am.
06:33Dav has changed my life for better in multiple ways.
06:37He's my biggest supporter, so he's constantly urging me and challenging me to be a better me.
06:44I mean, like, I never had a personality come into my life that's so small with such big personality.
06:51I've achieved so much, social media-wise, and I've got way bigger than what I ever thought
06:57I could achieve with Kelsey.
06:59He's gonna accomplish any and everything, like, TV-wise, movies.
07:04I think what he's trying to say is, okay, we, you know, eventually down the line would want kids and marriage.
07:12Right now, we want to do as much as we can for ourselves so that we can have that later on.
07:19We're some sort of best friends, and we confide in each other, and we tell each other everything,
07:24and we try and be completely honest, and when we do go through a hard time,
07:29I feel like we haven't given up yet, so.
07:32Yes.
07:33And for those that got something to say about us, and it's negative.
07:36Negative?
07:40Zip it up.
07:41And throw it.
07:42Throw it away.
07:43Throw it away.
