That comment actually reminds me of something that really made me angry last year.

We have a gym chain called 'Curves' which is supposed to be a chick-only, SUPPORTIVE workout environment.

I had been going to a normal meathead gym, and decided to give it a try.

So one day I'm in there puttering around and there are these 2 skinny chicks in there -like size 4- complaining LOUDLY about how fat they are. Right in front of the rest of the clients... and a LOT of women who go there are VERY overweight.

I'm built on the thick side of average... I used to lift weights, I'm kind of beefy, I ran triathalon for a while, and worked commercial fishing... no skinny asparagus stick here, that's for sure! I am generally happy with my build and was still WICKED insulted. Seriously WTF.

I just think it was really insensitive for these women to be saying those things, almost as if they were actually really insecure, fishing for compliments, or -yikes- had joined that particular gym to feel superior to the middle-aged office ladies just getting into a workout routine!

Needless to say I'm back with the beefcakes at the co-ed meathead place.

So actually your original tangent wasn't one at all... it's like the 'ugly friend' syndrome taken even further.
