I think it is a Pakistani cultural trait to state facts about someone’s appearance, negative or positive, in matter of fact way. Maybe it is meant to hurt, but in many cases it just seems like they have to just state whatever they have observed. Maybe they even think it’s helpful, like you haven’t noticed these things yourself, otherwise you would’ve fixed the problem by now. It is silly, and I have cried a lot over careless comments, but it’s not worth it.

Totally agree. This is what Pakistani women do. They talk about others, as long as it’s not their own daughters, they especially love to talk to about ther DIL’s. The funny thing is majority of these desi aunties are overweight and rarely make an effort to look nice. They still feel the need to talk about other girls, pregnant or recently given birth, weight.
When asked about their own they say “Oh humne to 4 bache paida kiye hain humari to exuse hai” … uhh yeah like 30 years ago!! Gahhh
