In the defense of people in reasonably good shape that put themselves down . . .
Many are not fishing for compliments they just use a different standard of comparison.
Someone that is close to excellent shape may complain they need to lose weight, even though they are in better shape than most people. Because 5-10 pounds on them can tragically mar an otherwise excellent body type. Whereas 5-10 pounds on the really out of shape wouldn't even be worth mentioning.
5-10 pounds on a bikini body is really noticeable.
I do some people that only fish for compliments, and I define them as people that complain but will take no positive action to change. That applies to both the fit and unfit.
