How rude is it asking a women her age/ her weight?

I have no idea why would I ask a woman about her weight... I can understand age but not weight :D

I would not ask for weight. but i dont think its rude to ask for age. just like if you ask a guy if he has a girlfriend. thats not rude.

If you would ask a man these questions, there is no reason not to ask a woman. #emancipation

Lol, really, I never ask someone I don't really know about her age or weight, but when I know her enough, I could casually ask about her weight. Not age, though, I'd ask that to her friends.

fairly rude. in a culture that focuses so much on women judged by appearance knowing a woman's weight would be giving away judgement amunition

I don't think so. Western society puts all these hurdles in front of women, like they have to be thin, wear make-up, dress sexy in every situation, but thats peer pressure from shallow, vapid, vain little people. A woman with an IQ higher than a monkey should ignore that stuff and treat the question just like any other.

The only reason I hate it when people ask my weight is because they're always shocked at how small the answer is (I'm kinda underweight xD). Then they make a big fuss of it, saying I should eat more (I already eat tons and tons, I'm a teenage guy xD), and bla de bla de bla.

As for asking women, I don't have any problem with asking their weight, just like I have no problem asking a guys weight. I usually don't ask though because they get offended, which I see as pointless (them getting offended).
Exact same for age.

You ask something that people think you shouldn't and everyone loses their minds!!!

I wouldn't ask someone their weight, especially if you just met them.. I feel awkward even asking dudes how much they weigh, even dudes who I know aren't self conscious and have good figures. I mean, if they're not really overweight or a bodybuilder or something, what good reason do you have to ask such a thing? Why ask an average-sized person something that specific?

I'm a chick who just turned 21 and I actually kinda like when people ask my age because I look a lot younger than I am, and I'd rather people ask and know my real age than think I'm just a kid, haha. I think the age thing depends on the age range of the person you're asking. I mean, the younger they are, the less they would mind. I don't know anyone my age who would be offended by such a question, however if you're asking someone who obviously isn't in their 20's and is probably 40+, it would probably seem a little rude. I guess people become more sensitive about it as they age.

It's not rude at all if she's young and thin.

Do you need to know the chemistry behind the aromatic compounds to enjoy the fragrance of a flower? The same holds true for trivial bits of data like age and weight. You may as well ask people for fingerprints if you find things like that important.

The person is what matters, not the numbers.

It's very rude to ask about weight, even if she's thin. Age is something you can ask some people about. I'd say it's generally somewhat safe if she's clearly under 25 and almost safe if she's clearly under 30.

You should ask. If she gets offended just tell her this social norm is a projection of patriarchy.

never ask that! trust me, I'm a professional!

Unless you are her personal physician, they are nosy questions to ask a women you just met.

one thing that does work in getting your answer. feed them tequila and then reach into their pocket.....and get their ID. lol

age = not done. weight = deathwish

It personally doesn't bother me for someone to ask me. And unlike what someone wrote, I'm not super young and I'm not super thin. (28 in a few days, 133lbs...LOOK, I TOLD THE WHOLE WORLD!)

Just ask her, she'll respect your honesty.

And if she gets upset, you could always hit her?

apparently incredibly rude.

one day when i was like 7, i was figuring out my weigth, after that i went with my family (we were in a reunion) and i asked my mother, she told me "dont you ever dare ask that to a woman again"

up to this day i have never asked a woman her weigth ever again.

I used to work in a Ski Shop, before we rented ski's to anyone I had to ask: Height, Weight and Age to everyone. Lets just say it was always awkward.

According to the little i know of social standards, very rude.

Personally i see no issue in hiding anyone's weight for that matter, and whenever i have asked before, i state i'm just doing it out of curiosity and i rather be straight and get a straight answer, as well as the fact that if i'm really curious, i can always figure out the weight myself.

Fat girls are the ones that usually get offended. :P As a guy, I see no freaking problem with asking their weight, age, whatever

Not. It is a social tabu among many close-minded individuals whom will not hesitate and go ad-hominem on you if you manage to do something even remotely similar to it. The being with the non-flawed logic should see it as normal and informative as should you. You should use the question to asses what kind of person she is.
