A woman who was informed she would "be perfect" if she lost weight has hit back with the perfect response.

Katie Lacie, a self-professed "CEO of dating app clapbacks", shared the disrespectful exchange in a TikTok video that has since been viewed over two million times.

In the clip, Lacie reveals the man informed her she would "be perfect" if she "lost like seven pounds (3kg)".

He then justified the remark by claiming he was a personal trainer and simply offering "constructive criticism."

At first, Lacie responded with a swift "what?".

"Oh I'm sorry, I hope you don't take offense to that, I'm a personal trainer," he responds.

When the man questioned whether they were "good", Lacie gave him false hope, noting he was simply giving her "constructive criticism."

"Exactly! Glad we're on the same page," the man replied, clearly relieved.

It was then Lacie delivered a fatal blow to the conversation.

"You would be perfect if you were a different person," she wrote.

Insulted, the man told Lacie that was "no way to talk to a man", to which she replied, "Oh I'm sorry, I just saw a boy here."

Unfazed by her insult, the man told Lacie there was a way she could make it up to him - by losing the weight he suggested initially.

"Gross, bye!" Lacie responded, ending the interaction.
