One of the things that children are taught are the things they don’t have to ask other people. Why? People are sensitive when the topic about their weight, age, religion/beliefs and financial status.
For women, the issue about age and weight are sensitive topics. Women try to hide their age or avoid answering the question about age as mush as possible. I know, because sometimes I do avoid answering this question these days. I have not been ashamed to broadcast my age when I was younger and my colleagues are older than I am.
The issue of weight is also another sensitive matter among other things. Why so?
