It comes after a woman from the traveler community took to social media to explain why she would never date a man who is not a traveler, also known as a “country man”.

Charlotte Ann, 29, who lives in Peterborough, makes TikTok videos tackling misconceptions about Gypsy culture.

Previous videos he has posted include ‘What is dating like for gypsies and travelers?’ and ‘What is the difference between gypsies and travelers?’

In this video, Charlotte addressed the question. about whether she would ever marry a man outside her culture, was in response to a comment from a follower asking, ‘Would you marry a settled man?’

At first he joked: “I don’t know if this is a wedding proposal or just a simple question, I don’t know which it is, but we’re going to answer it because I’ve been asked this several times.” ‘

Then, answering the question, he said: ‘No. That’s the short answer. The short answer is no.

‘I’m going to explain it before the Karens come into the comments box and say, “Well, you talk about equality, you talk about oppression. But you’re saying you wouldn’t marry a country man.” Yes, and I’ll tell you why.

‘I’m traditional. Am I 100% traditional? No. I’m single at home at 29, so no, I’m not 100% traditional, but no one is 100% traditional anymore because it’s 2023.

He continued: ‘I would rather marry someone of my own kind, whether a gypsy or a traveler. I’m half gypsy, half traveler, so in my culture I would marry one or the other.

Charlotte said she thinks marriage and life are “hard enough without being so different,” and described travelers and non-travelers as living in “two different worlds.”

The 29-year-old added: “No one realizes how different their culture is from mine and I just can’t understand how annoying that is.”

An example she used was the concept of pocket money, saying that in her culture “you don’t make pocket money,” so she isn’t sure what she would do if she married a “settled man” and her children asked her for it. .

She continued: ‘There are so many things that are different and I just couldn’t be bothered with it. I don’t want to have to explain who I am to the person I’m going to marry.

‘I know that a traveler wouldn’t know me 100%, but at least they would know me in a way.

‘There is no way to explain who you are on the first date. I don’t need to tell him the basics because he should know because he’s another traveler.’

Concluding his thoughts, he ended the video by saying, “So, no, I couldn’t be bothered with all that and it’s not me.”

“I think the best games are those in which people start on equal terms.

“I don’t want to have to teach them my ways, I’m not Pocahontas, you’re not Captain John, I just don’t have the time or the energy.”

Many people in the comments shared their own stories and agree with Charlotte’s reasoning.

One person wrote “100% agree, if you’re not equal to begin with, there are probably going to be obstacles all along the way,” while another added “as someone whose parents are from two very different cultures, I think it’s good to be in the same place.” same culture because we won’t We won’t create a barrier between them.

Another added: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to be with someone who understands and shares your culture.”

However, not everyone is on the same page: one person wrote: “I’m a traveler married to a peasant and it makes no difference,” to which Charlotte replied: “That’s a complete lie.”

Another comment read: ‘I love the way you carry yourself, may I ask what would happen if a country man was happy to take on your culture 100%?’

‘I have a friend (farmer) who fell in love with a lovely local gypsy and adopted her and her family’s lifestyle, they are now married with children. There the sweetest couple.’

Charlotte responded by explaining that she sees it as “selfish” and that someone “shouldn’t have to change who they are” for you to love them.
