It is hard for girls only to speak out or tell the truth. They often feel hard to tell the real weight and age. They feel shy or get embarrassed if telling the truth. I think its no shy for guy to telling the truth and feel great to say but no one wanna know the age or weight of guys. Normally we only fill out the form of interview application that mention the weight and age. In other point of view it is nothing to be shy or get embarrassed to tell the truth or hide it.
Don't feel upset if you are getting older or become fat. These are nature. Fate!!

well, i defer, i guess even boys also fumble on question pertaining to age and weight. especially the weight..with time and age boy tend to put on their bellies....which shows in the increased weight....i have seen a lot many boys/men tracking their height with weight and justifying their weight....i really find that funny....men boys justify their weight by saying "well i have heavy bones...u see"

Personally I don't have a problem telling people my age. Often I forget exactly how old I am and give them my age for my next birthday. As for weight, unless they're my doctor I don't think they need to know that. Most people don't feel good about themselves which is why they don't want to draw attention to the most obvious thing....their weight.

Age you would think would be easier to answer because I would like to think that we all know when we were born. Of course some people don't want to come across as too young and immature but they don't want to come across as too old either, so they fudge their age rather oh so slightly. Whether it be up or down, it really does depend on the person many times. However, there are times where I am with someone I know and they tend to tell a small distortion of their age.
Weight is rather a tricky thing. Weight is kind of a personal question, well age is too but I think that weight is slightly more. Plus there are times where people don't step on that scale that much, so they just throw out a number. Granted, when that number is thrown out, they tend to be among the worst estimators right on the planet. Of course, weight is something that is easier to tell if someone is lying through their teeth. Age might be a bit difficult as there are people who look older than they are or younger than they are. So the truth is rather something that is harder to determine.

Me personally, I do not feel ashamed to reveal to other people my age and my weight. In fact, I can say it clearly: almost 37 years to 75 Kg
I anyway knew in the past of people who felt embarrassed to reveal these "data". Maybe they were a little overweight, or simply were disturbed in some way to reveal their age. Ok, I agree that there is privacy for everyone, but with this I can not understand the reason why some people are embarrassed to talk to their inherently weight and their age!

Personally, I don't have any problem answering questions about my age or weight. I think those subjects bother some people because they are not happy about themselves or how they look. Then again, some people might simply feel that those things are nobody else's business. At least those are my guesses on the issue.
