I thought the consensus was that lying about anything is wrong.
It feels as though you are putting everyone through some kind of test survey before you have a chance to get to know them and vice versa. Could backfire by narrowing your options like an overly detailed search. JMO

Why would you want to lie about your weight?
If you meet someone, they're bound to find out anyway!
And as for friends, it really shouldn't matter!

busted! I agree. I think the question should be "would you tell someone how much you weigh?" or "does weight really matter, after all, it's just a number like age or height?" I just saw an awesome video on you tube about weight and love this girl's outlook. It's called fat rant...Check it out! I am overweight and don't mind sharing my lb number. I think it's so funny when I tell them I weigh 240 and they say, "really! well, you don't look that big!" 
LOL cracks me up. Now, if someone was overweight and unhealthy, that's a concern.

Why lie about it? Should you meet someone from here or elsewhere and they think your 330lbs and your a mere 250 they'll think you're too skinny and also what else you would have lied about. Be yourself
and also what else you would have lied about. Be yourself------ This thread is Archived ------
Just be your self MAN!
If they cant accept you for who you are you then obviously you shouldnt be with them or want to be with them.
and to answer your next question. . . . . NO. . DONT LIE!!!

There are enough lies on internet dating profiles to sink a battleship, and sink, they frequently do....why even think of adding to them?

No point lying about weight, lie's are bad news anyway.
Weight isn't a problem to me in friendship, but it would be in a relationship as I don't fancy really overweight blokes

Today is as it is.
Things are as they are.
All of us: Live today without judgment
Can we spend an hour - maybe two hours - today - being totally non-judgmental? Can you do it?
We can not remedy anything by condemning it.

who cares. When I see a man in very poor shape, huffing and puffing to get up some steps, can't ride a bike because he is too overweight, I don't need to see what the scale says.

I guess I have stirred up enough dust.. lol
I am not being crass or mean, I am just wanting to know what others think. I read a article online which said that 95% of the people you meet (online) truly believe themselves to be honest and will tell you they do not lie. However, that same survey said that 84% of people online lie about something in their profiles. Their age, weight, or other subject of personal interest. So, I guess what I am really getting at, is where does one draw the line ethically? When do you become a liar, and when is it just no one elses business?
I think it has been proven, the general consensus is and morally so, one should EVER lie. It is considered ethically wrong by almost everyone asked, and counter productive to what you are trying to accomplish. Which is to get people to like you.
A friend of mine said it best.. my friend says: As far as weight/age etc goes.. "A person can never hope to be more than they are if they cannot first be honest about what they are not."
If you do not wish to share 'certain' information, tell someone politely, "it is none of their bees wax." If they still badger you, tell them to go play in the street.

Why would you lie about anything to a person you "SAY" you care about. Don't you want people to know the real you. Me personally, don't care what's on the outside, more concerned about the inside.

Can't see the point in lying about anything really. If you are comfortable with who you are, this is the time that you will attract likeminded people. If you lie, you will attract the wrong people! Be happy and proud of who you are.

Now another question, No one will want to answer. Should one lie about their weight? I have been known to lie about that, but more in adding than subtracting. I tell people I am bigger than I am, to see if they really like ME or if they are out for a hard body. I am far from a 'hard body' still... it is a lie if I send pictures of me weighing 370 lbs, when I am closer to 250 lbs.
So, do you think it is okay to lie about your weight, even if the other people cannot see you?
(DISCLAIMER: I hope everyone agrees with me. Weight is never an issue in friendship. I would NEVER judge anyone by there weight. I hope no one else is that shallow.)
