Would you be honest on a poll asking your weight?

19 Comments

Of course it's totally anonymous, as always. The poll would ask, starting at 100 lbs and going up in 20 lb increments, to select the bracket you'd fall into. Would you actually be honest or would you fudge it a bit?

This isn't an actual poll I'd create, by the way. I just want to know how honest people would be, even when completely anonymous.

I'd be honest, I'm female. 97
I'd be honest, I'm male. 73
I'd fudge it slightly, I'm female. 23
I'd fudge it slightly, I'm male. 5
I'd fudge it a lot, I'm female. 5
I'd fudge it a lot, I'm male. 1

    Alot of people are worryed about their weight, but they should check out the BMI. for a while i thought i was really overweight; but i checked it up with my hight and age and as it turns out my BMI is 20, which is perfect :)

      BMI isn't accurate. You can weight much over your BMI, but it could all be muscles.

      I go by how I look and how my clothes fit! I've owned some of the same clothes for 10 or more years.

    I'd be honest because it's a poll so no one will know which range I fall into

    I'd be honest. I do try to keep in shape and watch what i eat, so i'm quite happy with my weight. No better way to show than happily stating the truth.

    I'm 5'8.5 and I weigh 160lbs. It's weird because I really don't look as big as the scale makes me out to be. I'm a female.

    Male 5ft10 132lbs. I must have hollow bones or something because I'm fairly toned even though I weigh so little :/

    I would be honest about my weight. I am 5'7" tall and I weigh 160 lbs. I am not sure if it is normal but I am a mother of four. What is normal anyway. I honestly think that people look better with a little meat on their bones rather than looking like a bag of bones. The only people that can look good skinny are young people under 25. When you are older than 25, I think that people just look older the skinnier they are. I am not fat, but not too skinny either. I was obsessed with being thin when I was in high school and would starve myself to the point I was sick. I think that if people are not happy with the way they look then they should be more active and work out. If you feel good and are fit then your weight does not matter.

    If theirs a pole I don't want to answer but I want to see the answer I just click the see answer thing. I wouldn't click for my weight because I always hate when I pick the one that isn't the normal answer like for this pole...

    I'd be honest but just because I'm not overweight.

    Very interesting question. Why would anyone lie on an anonymous poll? I don't think you'll get an answer but I'm glad you asked.

    Clever!

        Do you think it's because polls here aren't truly anonymous; just anonymous to IIN users? And that situation could potentially change (although I'm sure it won't).

        Either way, I didn't give you an answer. No, I wouldn't lie.
