The difference is how good looking the person making the comment is
No, it's about your relationship to that person. Are you on friendly terms? Are they comfortable around you? Do you have some kind of established rapport?
Or are you a complete stranger making a weird comment about another strangers physical appearance out of nowhere?
Do you believe that if we have 100 women and we put two random strangers, one looks ugly and one looks fit and beautiful, saying the exact same comment and then we ask then if it made them feel uncomfortable, do you really believe that the more ugly one will not have a higher percentage of "uncomfortableness"?
I for one would love to see the results of that study.
I believe their reactions might be slightly different depending on the person, but if you simply asked them if it made the comment made them uncomfortable they'd say yes 100% of the time.
