    No, not intentional. Are you talking about someones abilities to be a parent? Like telling someone they should not have kids because they would be a terrible parent? Still feels like an insult.

    The obvious difference is that very tiny % of people actually are able to run a marathon but vast majority of people have or want to have kids. Telling someone they are unable to do something natural is definitely not nice or neutral thing to say.

      It doesn’t have to be “nice” if it is factual. It is not the same as an insult.

        Ok, just a personal advice for you then. Don’t ever tell anyone they should not have kids. They will not think it’s just a factual statement, trust me.
