Default "friend" can't handle my weight

He's gotten pretty nasty about it though this is how he has always been in regards to my weight. I'm pretty small- a size 0 or 1 at the biggest but he insists I am a size 2 and have an "average" body fat % above 25% when in reality I maintain a % that is clearly under 25% considering I have 23-24 inch waist and my thighs don't touch.
Any insights about why this man is such an a-hole to me? He brings my weight up constantly, claiming that I am "heavy".

WTF? Is this a joke? He is an a-hole if he truly believes even a Size 2 is "too heavy". I would drop him as a friend if this is true.

I will never trust a woman on her weight until I personally inspect the specimen.

Some women dress strategically, in such cases I may have to use the traditional lift/gauge methodology.

I had a male friends that would make negative comment about my weight too like thunder thighs or whatever b/c they think it's a joke. they don't care that it's not considered a joke. they also like to embarrass you in a group of other male friends and women for two reasons. first one: they want the other guys to know they are not sexually/romantically interested in you. give them an ego boost to just randomly put somebody down. and also to let the other women in the group know you're not their type, especially if the other women are more attractive then U. anyways, i am hip to all their little games.

Doesn't sound like a friend at all. And it sounds like his messed up in the head. You don't sound even remotely close to being over weight.
