It's just how I was born.
From my point of view, I don't comment on people's weight, hips, thighs or whatever body parts that I get commented on. But what makes it right to comment on a skinny person?

You wouldn't say to an overweight person "Oh, you're so big", right? Or would you post a pic of an overweight person and say how horrible it is?
I totally understand where the OP is coming from, just offering a different POV.

that's what I was trying to say. thank you.
