One woman, 69, has expertly shown how to get back on the horse after going through a pretty major breakup.

Tina, who goes by the handle @tinagoesdating online, regularly posts snippets of her dating life, documenting her journey trying to find love before she hits 70.

While for the most part, Tina, who is 69-years-young, has received a whole avalanche of support and praise - she's unfortunately had to deal with some mean trolls online who body shamed her for dating as an OAP.

One of which cruelly hit out: "Ugh!! Yuck lol, two wrinkled old bodies slapping together ewww."

How charming.

Well, luckily, Tina knew just what to say to this particular individual.

Directly responding to the nasty comment, she said: "I'm 69 and I'm dating.

"I received this comment on one of my videos and I'm horrified! Talking about wrinkly bodies writing up against one another."

She then popped her hands on her hips swaying side to side, adding: "Well, what's wrong with this writing anyway?

"You know [with] just a little soft lighting - who's going to feel and see the wrinkles?

Iconic tbh.

"We're just going to feel the twinkles!"

She then ended up the iconic TikTok, signing off: "Thank you for the comment but, honestly, I cannot agree with you."

Tina captioned the clip: "You can still Netflix and chill with wrinkles, darling."

Kinder, more supportive viewers have since rushed in the comments section of Tina's many videos with one praising: "Have as much fun as you can. Don't mind the haters!"

A second gushed: "I just adore you!"

"Yesss girl get your dream man! So lovely to see women who know their worth!" penned a third.

A fourth chimed in: "Go girl!"

"Wishing you all the best in the search! You deserve a love life filled with romance, surprises and all the affection in the world!" offered a fifth, while a sixth quipped: "I'm so excited to be like this when I’m older!! Kids raised, house clean and comfortable and able to focus on yourself and be comfortable in your own skin go! You look fab btw!"

Another echoed: "Good on you when the relationship turns bland it’s time to get out and enjoy yourself. If they don’t make effort it’s time to move on. Good luck!"

And a final TikTok user added: "You look fabulous and have such an amazing energy! Love to see people knowing their worth! Keep slaying!"
