Is it ragebaiting if you just call somebody "unathletic"? Or is that just insulting somebody? 😂

Yeah, this is just being a catty bitch, really.

"What kind of clothes would you wear if you were, like, actually pretty?"

Depends.

If they’re actually athletic, it’s ragebaiting. If they’re clearly out of shape, it’s insulting.

But... I am clearly out of shape. Not the worst shape, mind you, but obviously not an athlete. Climbing for me, which I do enjoy, but haven't really done since covid.

I mostly bike ride for exercise, but don't think I'm an in shape looking cyclist or anything. It's an bike, and while I do usually vary between weakest assist and sometimes none, I got nothing on even semiserious cyclists.

I'm not athletic. Not obese either but it's just not the word to describe my appearance. So it would be a fair assessment and if I don't sense any bad faith then to me it's actually an interesting question to be asked. Some people are just a little tone deaf.
