She didn't call him small, just 'slightly' below average.

Try calling a woman "slightly over weight" and see how that goes.

What you're saying is uncalled for comment on the body out of the blue. Not the same here in this situation. The OP's boyfriend was begging for an answer. The same would be if a woman wanted a comment on her weight level by asking her best friend or boyfriend or a doctor, speaking in a manner that implies her needs for an honest answer.

Yep, and if weight really is a serious problem, you can lead by example and try to bring her along to your workouts/hiking trips/whatever.
