Things I Don't Understand: age, weight, and dress size

Some people, especially women, don't want other people to know stuff like their age, weight, and dress size.

But why would you feel the need to keep these secret from people who can see you?

Either it won't surprise them (in which case they have no more information than they would if you didn't say anything), or they'll be astoundingly surprised and admire your ability to take care of yourself/dress well/etc.

I don't understand it either, but I've always been absolutely painfully embarrassed by what I weigh - I mean the actual number - and can never let anyone know what it is. No matter how I look, I cannot say the number out loud. It doesn't make any sense.
