Nick calling Devin piggy and then talking about fat . Even though she looks absolutely fine . It’s extremely disrespectful

Not to mention the massive age gaps between both of them 23 Devin to 31 . When you are 23 you are still in your formative years and Nick trying to date her raises a lot of questions .

      I’m the daughter of Korean immigrants to the US. Yes it is normal for Korean people to talk like this. It is normal even for strangers to comment on your weight (call you fat or compliment you for being thin). Korean people are very blunt about weight. Rates of obesity are very low in Korea.

      I’m 5’1” and when I was at 120lbs was commonly called fat/chubby/piggy/etc. Earlier this year I lost 20 lbs and now that I’m 100lbs I am “normal”. For me to be “thin” and receive compliments I would have to lose another 10lbs.

      With all due respect, Devin’s BMI looks like she is probably considered overweight by US standards. By Korean standards she is very chubby.

      I’ve lived in Asia for 15 years (Korea, Japan, Taiwan) and yes it’s really normal for people to talk this way. I’ve had strangers come up to me randomly to tell me how fat I am. The younger generation all know and agree it’s rude, but it happens constantly from people of all ages. It sucks to live here sometimes. I’ve developed a thick skin, and learning the language has helped me tell people politely to stfu lol
