Do you really mind talking about your age, weight and money? Well, I don't. I am 51 years old, weighing more or less 150 pounds and I don't have money right now, but my husband and daughters have money @DianneN commented in my last discussion about, "Payday is Coming Here," and she said that, "A lady never discusses about age, weight, and money." Don't get me wrong, for Dianne is one of my good friend here and I respected her thoughts about it. Hi Dianne! I didn't know why a lady never discusses about those things. Do you know? Any thoughts?

I have been exposed to different cultures in this world of course and Diane was right in saying that women never talked of those things. It's very rude to ask someone how much she's earning in some culture. It's really offensive because it's something personal. Age is also personal and something considered rude to ask. And same with weight. But ti doesn't apply to everybody in this world. To South Koreans, it's important to know how old one is so they would know how to treat you as they are very respectful when it comes to age.

Ah, okay. Well, I never ask anyone about that here. I just say those things about myself. Thanks Toni for Sharing your thoughts here.

Agree with you. Now, I am 40 years old, I never feel disinclined for talking about age, weight and money. But, when I still single, I am difficult to talk about it. Maybe, Dianne talk about behavior of young woman...

Yeah, Dianne seems to be more conservative woman and I respected her.

It is considered rude to discuss these subjects where we come from. Especially age and weight are off limits for women.

I would choose to keep those things private. Unless revealing so would save the world.

I'm not sure where that began but it's been a saying ever since I can remember. I don't talk about money because I just don't think that's right. But nothing else really bothers me anymore. :)
