my bfs stupid comments

im a teacher and today i ran into a teenage student at the grocery store with her mother in tow. I quickly greeted her and introduced her to my bf who doesnt hesitate for a moment to greet her mother with "oh who is this? is this your sister?" i looked at him incredulously. first of all it sounded like a corny pickup line and secondly it's completely ingenuine cause my student is 17 and the lady looked like she was 50 going on 70 and not fooling anyone about it . (PS my bf is the same age) i told him after to stop using that (stupid) line because he uses it all the time in similar contexts. Does anyone agree with how i see this comment?

Not really. Sounds like he was trying to be kind to her mother. How did she take it ? Was she offended ? Why did it bother you so much ?

because it's ingenuine and insincere. it's something you say to gain endearment to a female you're fond of perhaps, but not to the parent of a student your gf knows in a professional regard.

i mean the equivalent would be for me to walk up to someone he knows who's very obese or very skinny and say something flirty/charming like "wow, how much do YOU workout???" does that make any sense? it's obvious i'm being insincere.
