Your age or your weight? Neither? BOTH? Don't think too hard about this question, and if you allow someone else to guess and they guess wrong but you don't correct them, that counts as a lie too. Personally, I would never lie about my age, what is the purpose? I'm over 21, under 50, and I qualify for no discounts such as 'student' or 'senior citizen'. I'm legally allowed to buy alcohol regardless of type. I wouldn't lie about my weight either, besides, if I tried, ya'll wouldn't believe me. My license is wrong, btw. The thing is... it was correct when I got the license but I have had the same license, just renewed with no info changed for the past 8 years. I think my height is wrong on there too... so just for safety's sake, subtract 1 inch and 5 lbs.

I don't lie about either one of those things. I'm 62, 105 pounds, and I don't care who knows it or not lol. I think it's pointless to lie about such trivial matters, and I'm not in favor of lying at all. If somebody is rude enough to ask, then I'll still answer, but I'll also add: Why do you want to know that? So no,lies do not come easily, nor at all.

i have never lied about my age, i look younger than my age, then i guess there is really nothing much to say about it. its a fact and nothing can change and nothing will ever be made if i change my age... but as for my weight, i really refuse to weigh myself. haha :D so that i would not know how much i weigh, that at least should help me not determine the correct weight. hihi

I love my age. I love beeing 40 years old and feeling like a woman. I don't mind telling people that I lost weight and now I am at my idea weight of 140. I feel and look great! seriously when you lie to people you are only really being dishonest with yourself so what's the point.

Neither. I hate lying, even if it's something as "innocent" as my age or weight. At 22 years old, I'm not really at a point where I feel the need be dishonest about it. While I am embarrassed about my weight, I still wouldn't lie. I'd simply not tell. Unless I were to win money for it, there is no reason I have to answer the question "How much do you weigh?" That's exactly (well partly) why I'm currently losing weight; so I can say my weight without feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed about it. If someone attempted to guess my weight and got it wrong, I would simply say "That isn't correct." It isn't a lie if they guess incorrectly; only if I agree with what they said.

me?.. me dont lie about neither.. especially the age - never understood why the need to? - me not a famous celebrity, me just a working mom with children aged between 17-7.. so??.. logically me cannot be 30-ish.. rather than have people say that me is 50.. me just proudly ANNOUNCE to whoever wants to know (and probably dont dare ask) that me was born 1969 - do your own math! ... as for the weight... me dont lie coz me dont know meself , never really felt the need to know exactly me weight. i have set a target MAXIMUM weight which is 56kg - and to me, me is always is just that - tho' actually me may be much, much, less than that... guess me dont really care coz' me husbands is much 'heavier' than he should be.. and me tell him that if he is happy with his weight - then i'll be happy with that too,.. so he shouldnt complain about me weight either.. fair, right?

I have never lied about my age, I am 55 going on 56, I am overweight and no matter how much I try I cannot lose it. As for height well I am 5ft 4 inches but I can never remember the cm version without looking it up. This is the trouble with being born at a time before we went metric. I cannot see the point in lying about anything like that.

I have never lied about either. Even if I have told the truth about my age, no one ever believes me. I always have to pop out with the id. I too am over 21 and under 50. So!!!!!!!!!! I could try to lie about my weight too, but no one believed me if I even told the truth unless I'm the actual weight they guess. So either way I could never lie. Cause no one would believe me anyway.

Neither. I cannot stand lying, and I think that if people judge me on my age or height, I won't be having them much longer in my life anyway, so the truth will never hurt! The only thing that bothers me is when I tell people my weight and they assume I'm anorexic or bulimic. I'm 5"3 and 100 pounds, and have been tiny my whole life. People assume I don't eat right, but I love eating so much I consider it a hobby. My birth mother (I was adopted) was 5"8 and 115 pounds, and to have to explain this to people after being honest with my weight is unnecessary, offensive, and irritating at times. Usually I'll have people guess my age, but I'm proud of all I've accomplished in such a short time and so I make sure to correct them if they're wrong! (I'm 23.) After people talk to me I'm usually guessed to be a few years older than I really am, and it feels good that people find me to be so mature. I've never felt the need to lie about my age, and have always actually encouraged the conversation. As for weight, I'm very happy with my body and my weight as well, and I think lying about my weight just to avoid a repetitive conversation would be to display a discomfort with myself.

I have no reason to lie about my age. Its just a number to me. As far as weight, I have always been on the light side was 93 lbs when I went in the Army at 18 and 120lbs today at 59 I guess I can say thats my middle age spread LOL With all I have done in my life, trust me I could not lie about my age I would be shot in the foot!

Two years after my graduation i checked her friendster page (when i was in college, friendster is still popular social network) and i read in her profile that she's 5 years younger than me LOL...
