Gil Cuero answered fans’ questions about his dating preferences and how he’s been enjoying the single life after divorce.

After giving his answer, Gil took to his Instagram stories to share a video where he elaborated on the BBW question. 

Gil stated, “What’s up, peeps. First of all, I wanted to say thanks to everybody. But let me address one thing— that BBW question. Y’all need to loosen up. Y’all need to stop being so uptight. People have preferences. That doesn’t mean everybody’s preferences is everybody’s.” 

Gil continued, “It’s okay not to like something. Don’t fault the person for it. I mean, you can fault me all you want; I don’t care because, honestly, my life is going to continue on. But I’m nobody for y’all to be getting mad because some of y’all, not everybody, some of y’all be getting mad because I said I wouldn’t date a BBW. It is what it is.” 

Seemingly referring to his ex-wife Myrla not wanting a man with a bald head, Gil expressed, “Some women won’t date somebody under six feet, just like some women won’t date somebody that’s bald. It is what it is. We move on.” 

Gil landed on a more positive note, stating, “There’s plenty of people out here in this world that will date us exactly who we are. So chill out.” 

Gil Cuero says he doesn’t have a type 

Fans were curious to know more about Gil’s preferences, asking, “What’s your major turnoff besides complaining?” 

Gil answered, “Bad etiquette & being inconsiderate.”
