Is this a subtle insult?

I was talking to a male friend today. Last summer we ended up having to share a tent together due to circumstance (long story).

Nothing happened and it never would. We just slept after staying up late with a group. Today we were talking and he said I can trust him with anything if I even need help, as he didn't do anything inappropriate that night. So far so good. He then said 'while some men are tempted and may act inappropriate being close to sexy women, you know you can trust men who have to be close to you because they won't be attracted to the exterior and are doing it because they care about you inside'

Not sure how to take this. I don't fancy him and don't want him to fancy me, and I certainly don't want any one to do anything against my wishes or inappropriate. But I read it as 'you don't have to worry about men wanting you, you're so ugly they will only be spending time with you because of your personality' obviously personality most important but no one wants to be known as the minger no one wants to shag but they have a nice personality.

Maybe I am overthinking - tell me I AIBU before I sew a bag to wear on my head for the rest of my life

I would probably have taken it as an insult too. Regardless of his intention he sounds like a bit of a dick in all honesty.

What an absolute asshole. I would cut contact over that. I didn't read anything ambiguous. He said nobody would rape you and the only way they would sleep with you was if they got to know you and could see past the exterior. Why would a friend want to.hurt you with a message like that? I would share the message with all mutual female friends and drop him from your life fast.
