Why are women so insecure To tell their age, height, weight or dimensions?

[Anonymous]

age - a lot of women are concerned after a certain age about how old they are because after a certain point people start decreasing in looks and that's not really a good thing obv especially for women since women are more valued on their looks then men. so they think that if they can hide it or lie about it, you'll see them as more attractive than if you knew the truth

height - if a girl is too tall it's considered by a lot of guys and by society (unless your a model) to be too masculine and unattractive. if a girl is too short it can be perceived as midgetlike/childlike or just not as attractive either

weight - being overweight especially obese isn't really attractive. a lot of women also think being normal weight but not super skinny is too fat and embarassing. women in gen are concerned about their weight and the numbers, and so if its not as low as they'd like and it's a number that they consider embarrassing they might want to hide it since they dont want people to judge them or in a dating app type case, think they're less attractive

dimensions/ boob size? (guessing thats what you mean) - because traditionally having bigger boobs is considered more attractive and smaller boobs less attractive. so naturally if you have smaller boobs its possible you can be ashamed of them and feel less attractive so you might want to hide that

I personally think that woman are becoming insecure to show their true self or tell their age, weight, size etc because these days with the news and social media people have become obsessed with looking a certain way or having a certain weight When a woman doesn't fit into what society calls pretty and sexy they tend to either go to extreme to become what they think a woman should look like. Or they could just all together hide their true self or lie about who they are or how they look because they are ashamed of looking like they do.
I have personal experience with this issue for so many years.. I started noticing how I was getting negative looks or feed back from people especially guys when I did tell them about my true self. So I just stopped telling people. Over time with what people precieve as pretty or sexy or attractive and possibly even datable or wife material is so messed up these days. Men want the certain age look size weight etc and it's sometimes that os unegotiatable because that's what has been learned from society and social media. What everyone doesn't realize is when someone doesn't have the perfect look everyone wants and they get negative talk back it does some major damage to that female. Some will never understand how deep that cut went or how long if ever it will heal. Everyone to me weather your short , tall, skinny, fat, white, orange, brown, it doesn't matter as long as you feel comfortable in your own skin and happy with how you look then say F**k it to someone who doesn't see that and your worth in who you are.
Society and social media has warped everyone's view on what is beautiful, pretty, sexy and that not very good to allow all the social media and Hollywood have so much control over how people look it's sad to see and live during this time...
That's just my opinion no one else's 😊

A lot of them have basically gone through life being told (and genuinely believing) that men don't care about what they think and feel, and that we see them as little more than livestock.

If you thought that your entire worth came from whether people wanted to have sex with you, you'd be insecure about your appearance too.

[Zenpanda]

Because a lot of men are judgmental pricks.
And women get enough shit from men.
But I do think they should just tell men, because if they do and a man judges or shames them for it, it's a good indicator to avoid that man.

I dont give a shit disclosing any of that stuff, however I consider it a bit rude/out of context if it is randomly being asked.

It would be like me randomly asking you your measurements or the existence or lack of a 6 pack for example, which is quite an odd thing to be asked out of context.

[Basement-Bum]

Cock stats?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I’m certainly not… People don’t believe me anyways even though don’t lie, about my age (they think I’m younger) my weight (people think I’m smaller /weigh less than I am/do)🤷‍♀️ lol

[jennifer_bloom]

I will tell the guy I'm dating if he asks but nobody else has any business knowing my weight.

[wiltingrosepetal]

18, 180cm, 64kgs.

These numbers hold quite an emotional weight to them. Women who are in their 30s are told they're worn out or ugly because they're "past their prime". 18 is the barely legal number that tells everyone she's naive. Tall girls grow up slouching, embarrassed of their size while short girls become insecure over the nicknames they were given. And as a woman, your weight determines your worth. Too big, no one will look at you. Count your calories.

We all have a moment where someone has criticised our bodies, for this reason or that. That's why these numbers are so personal to us.

[caitycat21]

I’m fine sharing my age and height if someone asks but I’d find it strange if someone asks for my weight and dimensions especially if the conversation is no way related to that, if we’re talking about fitness related stuff possibly but other than that how would that even naturally come up in conversations

[Peridot25]

Because we’re told we’re not desireable or worth loving if we don’t look a certain way. And we’re expected to stay young forever for men. Which I don’t see how that’s possible unless someone can find the Fountain of Youth 😅

[Apple1996]

Men are extremely judgmental about those things

[dustybiker2]

Because they tend to be judged by each other. Goes back to early locker rooms

[Starrrboy]

Yeah they're very weird about it, it's very unsettling tbh.. but every gender has their quirks I guess.. many men are insecure to tell how much money they make and such..

[handsomelad70]

Because smaller, younger women have been historically more valued than larger (except breast size, where bigger seems to ALWAYS be better), older women.

[JonesT10Apr]

because woman don't want to hear any negative opinions or anything from anyone... so they want to be loved... so avoid those unnecessary things which create heartbreak 💔 moments

[genericname85]

cause they know exactly that men prefer younger chicks who aren't fat.

[Nikki1989]

Are they?

This is news to me.

[thisAppIsGarbage]

Because that's all the value they have and the lower those values are the better. Something that is impossible to achieve the longer they live.

[Anonymous]

Well, it feels like we're being judged based on the thing you list above it's no different then if I asked guys the size of Jr downstairs

[NYlatefun]

lol mr. Downstairs!
Well, if you’re proud of your size, you’d share it!

[Opinion Owner]

@NYlatefun lol I'm a woman not a man.

[NYlatefun]

lol I know, I meant that not all men would be embarrassed, some of us are proud and would share it.

[Opinion Owner]

@NYlatefun oh that doesn't surprise me at all.

[NYlatefun]

But do you think women would still be more reserved or embarrassed to share even if they have a nice body?

[Opinion Owner]

@NYlatefun probably because we been told as little girls that the body is personal

[NYlatefun]

We did too lol

[Opinion Owner]

@NYlatefun yes but most men have the idc attitude

[NYlatefun]

True!

[MackBoy]

Very important! What's the use of asking the height, weight, age or dimensions of a girl man?

[MsProsperity]

Because we don’t wanna be judged

[Anonymous]

Why would you want to know?

[Serkee]

Because some guys prefer different ages or sizes. Is it not reasonable to not want to date someone 10 years older/younger than you, or someone very overweight?

[Opinion Owner]

@Serkee Have you not seen her? How are you dating someone you’ve not seen? And if it’s online then surely you’ve seen photos?

[Serkee]

People get catfished pretty often. Asking for that stuff is a way to make her have to lie to you directly if she's gonna do that. And a refusal to tell that stuff is an easy way to tell that you're getting catfished. I don't use dating apps so I don't have these issues, but I see no problem with someone asking those questions. Why do you gave a problem with answering them?

[OddBeMe]

History of objectively judging them.
