I'm bored and was just thinking how silly I think it is when people get so embarassed to tell their weight in a public place. It's always the cute little joke that you shouldn't ever ask a women's weight...and everyone learns this unwritten rule and never questions it.

BUT isn't it really silly? Your weight is written on your buttocks. If somebody is overweight you can usually tell... there's not really an effective way to hide 50 lbs so people can see it. I don't know...just something that bothers me.Are wereally so insecure that we can'tgive them a number to the mass that is sitting right in front ofthem even though EVERYBODY can clearly seewho is skinny and who is fat.

Discuss.

It used to bug me when I was really underweight. Now, I'm fairly average, so it doesn't bug me too much.

I dunno, my 134lbs is hidden pretty well - everyone's really surprised when I say my weight because it's distributed so evenly I look slimmer than I am.

Because women are usually unhappy about their weight, even if they're fine.

I had one girl in this big group of people I was told to weigh while working one time, and she told me not to say her weight out loud like I was for everyone else.

I was like lolwut.

Yeah saying age is another thing too but that one is understandable to me because age can be hard to determine a lot of times. Weight is just something that's right in your face and you can't hide it. Why is somebody embarrassed to give a number to something that is already known.

I weigh about 61 kilos (135 lbs). Which is pretty average for an athlete... I think.

That's quite good( depending on height). It's really hard for me to put on weight.

Yeah of course, but if you are athlete and tall and weighing 61kg you are thin, to the point where you are nothing but bones. One of my friends weighs 75 or so and he is nothing but bones.

I'm not tall though - I'm probably 5'9" or 5'10", and I'm not really going to grow any more. But I'm taller than both my parents. :P

:shock: 5'9 135 lbs?? That's the recommended weight for someone my height at 5'5(male). I'm 5'5 and weigh 165, but I'm mostly muscle and I work out all the time. Sorry my friend your dimensions reminds me of one of my friends and he also is just bones. Maybe age plays a role I don't know, but I'm 19 if it matters.

Well thank you... but I was referring to the weight more. Like its not cool to say I'm anorexic and stuff when before they know the numeric value no one would have said anything. With the age thing I don't get too bothered by "little girl" comments. So eh.
