To think this is a backhanded insult and totally uncalled for?

I've been doing some work recently with an old friend of mine from school, we'll call her Gemma as this is her name and I don't care to give her a false one. Anyway so I invited Gemma out for a few drinks the other day as she's never met my boyfriend and we haven't really had a good chance to get together since school, we went to a local cocktail bar where I live and the night was lovely apart from one little moment which has been playing on my mind since.

I went to the loo, she came with and whilst in there she made a comment about my boyfriend to the effect of "oh he's gorgeous, you've done well for yourself." Now am I being unreasonable to think that this is very rude and suggests that I am inferior to him as she's oh so shocked that I've managed to find somebody so attractive? Maybe this seems petty and I am just blowing this out of proportion but she could have made a comment on his appearance without having to say "you've done well for herself". Now debating whether or not this is somebody I want to be friends with.

Can we have a troll thread with a klaxon? If you someone comes across a thread such as the SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER's, you post a link to it on the troll thread. Then anyone I can find it easily.

Every 3 days, MNHQ lock the troll threads and moves them to a High Security Virtual Prison. Then anyone who is interested I can find them easily when they are needed. I think 3 days of the thread being open is enough to get full amusement benefit from it?

I'm wondering what Gemma did to deserve a friend like PavlovaPippa.
