    I’m sorry you all experienced DUMB & BLIND trolls. Thank you both for always being transparent! We appreciate you both!

    • @MeetTheMazelins
      @MeetTheMazelins  Před rokem +9

      Thanks for the encouragement Temujin. It’s funny as you can probably see, same guilty party is in the comments doing exactly the same thing we are speaking out against. But we can’t change people until they want the change for themselves. We will continue to work on ourselves though, health wise, emotionally, and holistically and share while we do so, for those who can see a apart of themselves in us. Much love to you as always! 💜

      Gays don't judge based on how much you weigh. They judge you about a disability you might have. for them, you need to be perfect.

    Yes, sometime in the gay community can be so rude. It’s like you have to live up to a certain image and all the other craziness. Love yourself and be yourself.

      Thanks Christian! It’s a lesson that’s really applicable in any community. We hope sharing our experience, that even one person thinks before they intentionally or unintentionally puts someone down.

    Brian and Alec, please be yourself. God made all of us different for so many reasons. Both of you are truly loving and beautiful inside and out. Please keep doing what you all are doing. People should think before speaking because the tongue can truly be a weapon in some ways. No two people are alike. Stay strong, and please remember you guys are my favorite CZcams married couple. I love watching everything you're doing. Keep showing up much love ❤️ ❤️.

    *You guys are so beautiful... not just on the inside, but you are one of the cutest & most physically beautiful couples on the outside as well. Society is always trying to convince us to be someone we're not. It's a symptom of the consumeristic society we live in where businesses make money when they convince us not to be satisfied with ourselves, so we're pushed to spend money to become someone else.*
    *So their advertisements tell us that If our hair is curly, we have to straighten it. If it's straight, we have to get curls. Likewise, if we're skinny, we have to put on more weight. If we're heavy, we have to lose weight, etc.!!! Whatever we are, they want us to change it to something else. It's best to ignore the false marketing & just be happy & accepting of one's own innate beauty!!! This was a great topic! Love you guys...!!!* 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽

    Let me start by saying that both of you are beautiful inside and out. Your social media brings light and love and joy into the world. Thank you for sharing your journeys and struggles. It takes courage to open up and to be vulnerable like that. Your posts always make my day brighter. Those that post hateful comments about you are little brains. They lack cognitive reasoning ability. They are self-loathers who are a waste of oxygen. Don't waste one iota of your time or energy on them. Remember, you can't fix stupid. Keep shining bright. Keep loving and supporting each other. You guys make the world a better place. 👏🏼❤️🌈

    “Empty barrel make the most noise”
    People can’t give what they don’t have. Sometimes people are going through moments when they are feeling insecure and as a result they consciously and subconsciously start to project their unsettled emotions on others. It is unfortunate that some people are narrow minded and allow negativity to control there minds and by extension their fingers. The world needs love, and what we should be doing is reaching out to spread love and not hate. Life is a journey and nothing happens overnight. You are doing an excellent job my brothers and at the end of the day living an authentic life exceeds any negative comments, as we can’t tell a persons full life by a 30 minute clip. You are guys are blessed continue to be great and it’s commendable that you have found your purpose. Wishing you lots of success, continue to be encouraged and continue to spread your light on this platform.
    Nuff love 🤜🏾🤛🏾

    So glad you guys are leading this conversation. The insecurity is real, and there’s a direct correlation between all the body shaming online and the success of creators too! The algorithm is a bully! Anywho I’m glad you could relate to us, we share so much of the same experience. Keep shining and spreading positivity - that’s what keeps the haters at bay!! ❤

    Great video, guys. I've never been bullied about my weight, but I was definitely bullied a lot growing up (people read me as gay long before I realized it myself) so I can empathize from that perspective. Some folks are just really, really lame. It's so hard to tune out all the awful, negative noise and just focus on loving yourself and living your best life, but that's what we must do. And for what it's worth from this random stranger, I think you guys are both handsome, beautiful people exactly as you are. Keep being you. 😊

    @Urbanworld Před rokem +4

    This is such a good episode. I enjoy your vlogs because it’s great to see your vulnerability and love for each other. You are both just great guys and I am happy you found each other. You are a beautiful couple and you always make my day when you upload new content. Continue being vulnerable because it resonates with so many of us. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Give them grace for their ignorance and continue being the beautiful kings that you are. Remember, people that lash out intentionally to hurt others are battling demons we know nothing about. Their actions are designed to make us cower and retreat. They are trying to silence us. This is why you must continue to create the great content that you make and love on each other loudly. Praying for you both that God will continue to bless you and provide a force field of protection over your union and your mental health. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    • @MeetTheMazelins
      @MeetTheMazelins  Před rokem +1

    This definitely speaks to me, as someone who has struggled with weight and is married to a professional dancer who is smaller framed... its definitely a struggle .. especially when you hear comments like "How did you get him", "you should work on being smaller so he will stay with you", "ya'll don't match physically" - it truly has been something I have been conscious of internally and externally. The inner struggle to keep your head out of the pool of negativity is a battle I think we all face. Also learning that when you are happy and for the majority of people when you find that person that increases your happy - your weight tends to increase as well - the "Happy In Love Weight - they call it. For anyone that is watching someone's channel just to get a kick off of their looks, isn't watching for the right reason to begin with but also they are missing the point of people sharing their stories and lives. I applaud you both for being so open, authentic, and transparent about your journey and showing the ups and downs of not only being black men, but black gay married men dealing with a society who loves to encase people in boxes both within and outside our community.

    @joelsahadath8515 Před rokem +2

    I’m so sorry you guys experienced that. It’s such a pervasive problem in society. People have these “couple goals” images in their heads of what a married gay couple should be, but alot of people don’t think about what it actually is to be married and going through life’s ups and downs together. What happens if one of you becomes disabled? What happens if one of you abruptly loses a job? What happens if one of you gets a chronic illness? The people saying these cruel things would probably run and leave the person they’re with if those things happened. Don’t let the words of people who have no idea of what reality and true love and partnership are get to you. You two continue to be you. I’m sure your channel has saved someone’s life by showing them real love is possible. My husband and I send you much love and support from one normal regular everyday bodied couple to another. Lol

  • @shirleystephenson8424

    Hi Brian and Alec, truly enjoyed this vlog my biggest takeaway from the conversation is "You never know what people are experiencing in life, so we need a bit more kindness in the world." I watch you guys for the same reason I watch most CZcams videos to learn about and see others relationships I have very little knowledge of... yet I realize that all these relationships exist and thrive in the world, so I want to know more! For me knowledge leads to understanding and accepting people for who they are. Love and kindness should be our first steps to helping this world be a better place. When I watch the two of you I am proud that you are healthy, intelligent, well-mannered, handsome, precious black men, and I smile because I know our ancestors are proud also! Keep your heads up, and keep being your authentic selves, better is coming! I know you guys can only share a tiny portion of your lives, and if you don't know, it's appreciated! 🥰

    @Jordi7174 Před rokem +1

    When I tell you, you guys are refreshing to watch because you both look like normal people and you still love each other. That tells me that you're both not just in it for the looks and rock hard body. The problem with our community is that we're too superficial and attracted to only what's on the surface. I'm so sick of the gay/workout junkie type of vlogs. There's nothing wrong with being healthy but having the six pack abs and chiseled chest is not realistic for everybody. I work 12 hour shifts, I can't be up in the gym 24/7! That's why it's refreshing to see guys like you, Our Boy Story and Gio and JC, that are normal and loving people, instead of (wannabe) fashion models. Keep doing what you're doing. 💛

    Hi Alec & Brian. It's been awhile since I've commented on one of your videos, so in part I just want to say "Hello! It's nice to see you!" But the other reason I am commenting is that it is great to watch you growing deeper in love. My husband and I are coming up on our third wedding anniversary and the conversations between us have recently grown more profound. It seems like the two of you are going through the same thing. I wish you all the best as you continue on your marital journey!

      This is really what is so important. People focus on things sometimes that don't necessarily last a lifetime. Don't get us wrong, we believe it's ok to have a preference, as most of us do. But in doing so it is also important to not put down people in a hurtful way. Glad you enjoyed our conversation!

    Honestly, you guys are amazing and I hope you understand fully that you are helping people see positivity in who they are and not in what others want them to be. We know that people are constantly running in circles to live up to society's standards of beauty (which is worse due to social media). Being strong, secure, black gay men with strong a strong relationship, friendships and family-ships is more important than idolizing things that will eventually fade anyway.

I ignore any and all negativity. Anyone that hates on others doesn't love themselves and is projecting. Now off my soap box 📦. Congratulations 🎊 on BGW voting your supporters; we are showing up and showing out. You guys are doing fantastic 👏.

    Kudos Mazelins for keeping calm and even giving these fools the time of day by discussing this topic. If they have an issue with your appearance, sexual orientation, etc. or just being negative, block them and move on! You guys look great and offer awesome CZcams content. Haters are gonna hate! That means you’re doing something right!! Life is too short to pay attention to foolishness!! Concentrate on the positive and continue to be blessed!!Love you guys! 💪🏽❤️

    I enjoy your candor and your support of everyone in all their infinite combinations. Not everyone is 6 pack abs and muscles. Everyone needs to be supported and respected. Great topic and amazing discussion. 👏 Thank you, @MazGang

    You two guys are amazing, don't ever forget that, it's sad we have so many mean spirited people in this world, that are dealing with there own issue, someone hurt them and all they know to do is hurt others.. you know theirs a true saying, that hurt people, hurt others, so know when people make ugly comments about you all, pay them no mind, because at some point in there lives, they've been hurt by someone.. now I'm not excusing them, because saying ugly things about someone is not cool at all, you guys keep up the great work.

    You two give me hope that there is someone out there who'll look at me the way you two look at each other regardless of what some idiots think you should look like weight wise. Side note for your builds, you guys have nothing to worry about....until you reach my age 🤣🤣. Love and take care of each other and ignore the haters 💜

    Hello my guys! It's hard to imagine anyone being critical of your appearance. I've always found you two to be one of the most attractive couples there are! I'm sure you don't have to be reminded that there are always going to be haters no matter what, especially given your popularity on social media. I love you guys and encourage you to continue to be an inspiration to the gay community!!😃😃

Thanks for sharing your journeys!! We all have something we can work on as no one walking on this earth is perfect. Love you guys!!

    In all honesty, I'm so lost most of the time in your inspirational videos, your personalities and beautiful love story that I failed to notice your bodies or weight 🤷‍♂️. Keep being you Brian and Alec. You are admired and loved by soooo many people. Much love all the way from South Africa ❤️

    Interesting guys. Yes u guys may not be body goals but u are very inspiring to not only to ur community but generally. N ur so right get to know people and their struggles before you judge. But don't let minor things like that get to u when u have so much more great n positive things going for u all. Everyone's journey is different n shouldn't be compared. My pastor always have us say" my case is different" n that's so true. U 2 stay strong and bless.💕

  • @belindacunningham5171

    Happy Sunday guys. Please continue to do you. No one should be judging anyone on their weight. Ppl could have health issues, depression and or stress eating disorder. Love the skin you are in. Don't let bad mind ppl discourage you. You just Never know what ppl are so dealing with.

    Hey guys! Just stopping by to say I miss seeing y’all and your videos. Putting yourself out there opens you up to critique and public opinion but I’m willing to bet most people with negative things to say won’t show their faces like you guys or even have half the charisma y’all possess. Focus on the positive feedback and the amazing community you guys have built! Haters can F#%$ all the way off ❤

    Well said as always. Very beneficial conversation. So sad how superficial the gay community is and can be; your experiences with apps and otherwise are not isolated and sadly is a norm. Enjoyed this video.

    It just baffles me how people will easily spit out bullshit behind a keyboard they won’t be able to say to your face. Obesity is a multifactorial issue and before opening your mouth and bringing that up to someone make sure you know his backstory. Straight ignorance, it just enrages me. Keep doing you guys, be your authentic selves. You are loved ♥️♥️♥️♥️

    Enjoy your lives together with how you truly are. I love seeing your journey together ❤.

    This conversation is so needed throughout the community 🙌🏾 The hate that queer people have for each other is insane. We could spend months talking about "body goals" amongst queer folks. How dare people feel because you're not ripped with a small waist that you don't deserve love. As queer man myself, I have struggled with this all my life, and I'm still dealing with it. I appreciate the transparency 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤎🤎

    I know some people have 'preferences", but then there are those who are just shallow and small minded. Personally, I look for substance in personality MORE and I also happen to very much so LOVE me a thick-ums! To y'all, my favorite beautiful black gay couple, y'all have a light that cannot be dimmed or contained. I look forward to seeing y'all shine even brighter! Cheers!!! 💚🙏🏾💥💯💚

    You two bring what you bring to social media. Your transparency and vulnerability is captivating. And honestly you two have found something in one another that most people never find. So those “comments” were probably just misplaced jealousy. 🤷🏾‍♂️
