The TikToker also touched upon another pertinent issue — the societal beauty standards that she believed many people had grown up trying to fit into their entire lives. She added:“We’ve been made to believe that somebody who is physically fit like Scott could never in a million years be in love with or compatible with a fat woman. And that’s solely because the world has literally taught us that we have to value our worth [based] on our bodies.”She expressed her sadness for people who believed their worth in a relationship was solely based on their physical appearance. Alicia said that one commenter slid into her husband’s DMs and told him he should be with someone who looked like her.She said that the woman who contacted Scott was a “10 out of 10 by beauty standards,” but people’s value didn’t lie in how well their bodies fit into society’s beauty standards.The TikToker mentioned that just like she had undervalued herself based on her body, the commenter was overvaluing herself based on how she looked. Alicia said her husband valued her for her humor, love, commitment, and caring heart. She also shared:“None of these things that [Scott] values about me change if my body changes. So when someone slides into his DMs leading with their body first, he’s asking, ‘But what else?’”

I just don’t really have words for how cruel ppl can be. You & Scott are both beautiful humans & love that u found one another (sic).”Another netizen commented: “It never fails to amaze me how sad and bitter people are to project their own insecurities and failures onto others.”“The comments come from pure jealousy. People wanna be loved so badly and can’t handle it when someone else receives that. It’s sad (sic),” said another user.Alicia said that for a long time, she pushed Scott away because she didn’t think she was worthy enough of his love. She further revealed:“I spent many years feeling like I wasn’t worthy of many things. Happiness, a great career, the love for my partner. Scott has been my partner since we were 15 years old. His love has never changed for me.”The TikToker mentioned that she wished for everyone to unlearn things and understand that their body had zero impact on who they are and how capable they are, which she believed was incredibly freeing as a human being.The Mccarvells continue to share their love with the world, and their lovely relationship is proof that regardless of what someone says, what makes us beautiful is our loving heart and how we value and care for each other.Please share this story with all those who have been made to see themselves as anything less than extraordinary.
