Do you lie about your weight or your pants size

Used to be women lied about their weight automatically for their drivers license and things like that, but then they started telling their friends that this was their weight. Most women will lie about their dress or pants size, especially to a man, hence the reason that women are tough to buy clothers for for a guy. Nowadays though I have started to notice that men are getting as sensitive about their weight and pants size. So do you lie about your size or weight or do you just let it all hang out, figuratively speaking? I do lie about my weight on my drivers license I guess because I got it at the tail end of my skinny days, whenever I renewed it I have just verified the info and let it stand rather than admitting that I have gained 30 pounds. As for dress size, not something I normally lie about because men do tend to buy me clothes and if you lie about your sizes it is difficult to explain why something doesn't fit.

Should I say it's normal for a woman to lie her weight or pants size, because I'm guilty? Yup, I usually lied not with my weight but my pants size. When buying pants, I usually say it's for my niece, so I could not fit it but give me assurance that I can return it if it not suits my niece. But honestly, it's for me, I just ashamed of finding out that after fitting it, it doesn't fit at all and need to find a larger one and then another larger one?? Isn't it so shameful. So better denied the truth. Though for sure, personal appearance could not hide the truth.. Well, that's life. I wish I could have the strength to take a diet to avoid lying. Happy mylotting.

Dear friend, I never lie about my sizes and weights. Moreover may be as male I do not feel any bad on expressing my it openly. Comparatively I hope I do have an average Indian size and weight that suits my age. May be some who are conscious and wanted to viewed better they would give the size and weight they wished to have. Anyhow it is an individual choice.

telling lies by the people to get the things done is a common phenomena. in respect of the important documents like driving license lieing is a common thing. Women usually tell lies regarding their age, weight anywhere, it is a common thing. I also used to lie in certain things like getting ration cards etc.,

I know this is a sensitive question for females. But I don't have to tell a lie in this aspect because I am already thin. In fact I don't want to be so thin, but it seems it is too difficult for me to pull on weights no matter how much I eat. I was born like this. I love China

I think it is time for me to lie because my waist size is increasing like anything. I dont understand why I am gaining weight. I am doing my bit to reduce the increased waist size. Till now I never lied to anyone regarding my waist size.

No, cause I'm proud with my size. Those who did that cause they didn't feel about it.

I don't lie. I'm not emmbaressed of my weight or size. Although my weight does changed 5 lbs randomly. so I will always go with the lowest. And the same with my pant size I'm different in different styls and makes, so I tell them both.

hmm I don't...because people don't ask me. if they say you must be about...X kilos I don't say anything. just let them believe whatever they want :)). I want to lose a few kilos and that;s why I started to do exercises and I try to eat healthy. and yes you're right weight is a sensitive theme especially for women

I'm a guy, but when I was little, I used to lie about my weight. It is because I'm super duper huge. After realizing that I need to change my physical appearance, I decided that I have to do something about it. It took me a year to slim down and a lot of my friends told me that I became thin already. Well, now, I do not lie about my weight anymore. Even though, I'm still a bit fat, but yes, telling the truth about my weight will not cause harm to me. Good day!
