      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.
