hotchic put it gently: "She'll probably be pissed that he told you her weight." the girl in question is 5'2", 143 lbs. with those dimensions, she is going to be a visibly bigger girl. so why would she (or any other girl) care if the amount of pounds she weighed was known? it's not like she can give the illusion of weighing 113 lb. if hotchic weighed 150lbs but still looked the way she did, would she be embarrassed to say it? probably not, because she'd still look like she weighs 110 lbs. the point is this: if you're a girl, unless you wear a burlap sack everywhere, everyone can see your body and can probably guess your weight within 10 lbs. but by itself, the actual value of your weight means nothing. no one cares about the number of lbs you weigh, and if you're 5'2" and weigh 143 lbs, people won't assume you weigh 107 lbs just because they haven't seen you on a scale. so please, lighten up when it comes to getting defensive about the numerical value describing your weight. it's not as big a secret as you think it is, and if you take care of yourself, no one would care if you weigh 243 lbs as long as it's healthy.

I'd say it's because they are INSECURE.

They are secretive because they are shamed of whatthey weigh. If they were 110lbs they would say so. If they were 150lbs they would not say so. Or even if thhey were a few lbs overweight they wouldn't say so........

Koing

 
Because most guys (a good example is the young guys on this board) seem to think that anorexic/ heroin addict look is how girls should look. How many times have pics been posted of girls or women who were looking really good (not overwight, but not skinny skinny either) and the majority of wankers start posting crap like "she needs to drop some weight" or "she is too fat for me", etc.


Why are some guys secretive about their "true" penis size?
 
It all has to do with confidence. I know skinny girls that are grab their stomachs (and only get a little bit there, which is better than a toothpick) and are upset with their weight. It's very annoying to date a girl with no confidence, you always have to reassure her. This girl, I would constantly tell her that she looked good then after we broke up she told me that I never complimented her. So that's your answer.

Emotionally insecure hmm...
Some of them simply lack self-confidence, others fear the people's opinions. Some are totally normal, though.

First - the sample on this board isn't where you should be looking. Most of my friends like very skinny girls when looking at a model, but for real life, do not want someone too skinny. Second - about penis size. It's completly different because it cannot be scene by the 6 billion people in the world like weight can.

exactly.
look at how things change and evolve. loongggg time ago, heavy, "pastie white" women were adored. then it was cool to be seen with a tan, now, skinny is still "in" ... although, most women in america are on average a size 14 or something.
There is nothing wrong with being skinny, there is nothing wrong with been not skinny. That is what makes the world an interesting place... different types of people. It gets unhealthy when extremes come into play overly fat/overly skinny.

The penis size question isn't a good analogy to the weight question that was posed by this thread. If you look at a girl and can see that she's overweight, her actual weight is immaterial, its her visual appearance that counts. At that point, I can't see why it matters what the actual number is.

Being secretive about your penis size would be the same as a girl you met over the internet not telling you how much she weighs, since neither have been visibly seen by the other person before. But if you are staring straight at a guys thing, I don't think he can be secretive about the size anymore since its right there in front of you.

You could put a little vertically-striped sweater on it, that could make it look longer... or go horizontally for width.
 
Personal shame, low self esteem, mental shortsightedness. Take your pick. Even worse is people ashamed of their age. "I'm 45. Please don't hate me for it!". At least with weight you have control; you don't with age. So why the shame of it?

This is not analagous to penis size, either.

I have also been told *when I was a younger and less wiser buck* that it is NONE of my business to ask. 😛
hitherto - in ages past - it has been considered a breech of ettiquitte to ask a lady her age or weight. now they got equality . . .
