She And Her Friend Went To A Party, And When A Girl Hit On Him, She Made A Comment About How He Used To Be Overweight, Which Really Hurt His Feelings

This 22-year-old girl has a 21-year-old friend named James, whom she has been close to since they were both back in college.
A little less than a year ago, James chose to make a major change in his life. He set out to get more healthy and fit.
“He was overweight but already lost a lot of weight and was fitter,” she explained. “I was his workout/motivation buddy throughout these months, but lately, he’s been confident enough to do his own thing.”
Well, several weeks ago, she and James were invited to attend a casual party at a friend’s house, and they agreed to go.
She says that James is very reserved and uncomfortable when they go places together with a ton of people, so James always stays glued to her in social settings.
At this particular party, it was no different until a girl approached James. This girl was obviously into James, and she acted like she didn’t exist at all.
She felt it was time to leave James alone with this girl when the girl turned around and questioned her if she was dating James.
This girl asked this question in front of a bunch of different people, so everyone overheard how she answered.
“I laughed and joked that she wouldn’t have asked me this if she had seen him last year,” she said.

“I was immediately told by some friends that it was a mean thing to say, and in hindsight, James seemed a little speechless.”
“The girl asked me what I meant, and I explained that he used to be way chubbier. Then she shrugged and said he’s “hot” and would take him off me if I didn’t mind. I thought this was trashy and just left.”
She left the situation, but she didn’t leave the party, and later on, she had the opportunity to speak to James alone.
During their conversation, it seemed to her that she had really hurt his feelings. She informed James that she was just joking because if people had seen him last year, there wasn’t a chance that anyone would have considered them to be dating.
She seems to be the only person who got her joke, as James and the rest of their friends certainly didn’t get her humor.
“I mean, the whole point of the joke was that he’s considered more attractive now, but I know his true awkward self and past,” she continued.
She’s left wondering if what she said was actually mean. What do you think?
