Was this girl making fun of my body?

[Anonymous]

I lift and today i was eating eggs, rice, and veggies at work.

my coworker came up to me and said “i will also eat healthy and get a body like yours”. Hearing that was felt backhanded to me because i thought maybe i look like a girl body wise.

why would she say that?

It sounds like you've motivated her and/or she's complementing you! Look at that gun in the picture! XDD

I don't think so.

I think it was a clever way to compliment your body without coming out directly

Wdym by “coming out directly”

[Msputiton]

Sometimes it can become awakard to tell someone they have a nice body especially at work.
Potential sexual harassment.
So indirectly saying I'm gonna change my diet so i can look like you is a safer way to put it

[Asker]

I wouldn't call it sexual harassment but yea i get what you're trying to say.
“You have a nice body” can be misinterpreted as flirting.

[Msputiton]

Right it's not technically but say it to the wrong person and you having an awkward talk🤷🏾‍♀️

[Snedger____]

She meant she'll eat healthy and get fit like you

[joeldalton]

[Asker]

Oh it sounded backhanded to me thats why.
