And there you have one reason why I would NEVER make such a comment myself. If, like me, you’ve been in a creative industry in NYC since the 80’s when people were dying right and left, you would NEVER comment on someone’s weight! I have never complimented a man or woman with more than “you look great”, and even that would be reserved for old friends.
My only point in bringing it up is context, that compliments are considered polite, not creepy, in many cultures, and the relationship, or not, between the people DOES matter. There’s lots you can say to a friend that would be offensive to a stranger. You create too much of a slippery slope between my saying a woman is attractive in a video and what I would say in person.
