To think it is usually always rude to comment on someone's weight?

I think it's rude to comment on someone's weight. And I think that when a man does it it's a deliberate 'neg' pick up artist type thing.

Maybe if someone's openly going to weight watchers then it's ok to say 'ooh you look slim' but it's not ok to say someone looks too thin or they've out weight on.

AIBU?

I don't think it's appropriate to comment on anybody's appearance, and I never do. And it irritates me when people comment on mine. When someone says 'you look well' it usually means you have gained weight.

And yes it is incredibly rude to comment on someone's weight because many people have eating disorders. And it's not acceptable to comment on people being thin either. Why do people have to say anything?!

If someone is overweight/fat/obese, (and especially if they have put weight on,) they generally know it themselves without some nosey sticky beak telling them!

One particular colleague of my husband always always always tells me I have lost weight every time I see her (which is about 5-6 times a year.) Most of the time I haven't, and the one time (about a year ago,) I had gained half a stone since I last saw her. So I found the comment 'you've lost weight' meaningless, patronising, and sycophantic.
