i feel like as women, we are REALLY sensitive about different types of aspects in our lives... so that leads me to this question:
what question do you find offensive coming from a stranger/someone you dont know well?
for example, i know A LOT of women get offended if you ask them their age
discuss!

ding! ding! I hate that. Like if someone sees me eating micky d's they say 'i'm so jealous you can eat whatever you want and not gain a pound'... Um, no -- i work out a lot and i don't eat micky d's 7 times a week.
YES!!!
or how about when i bring the healthy choice frozen meals to work ppl are like 'you are so skinny, why are you eating THOSE?'
i want to be like, yes clearly b/c i'm skinny i should be eating SHIIT all day everyday!! why is it a crime that a skinny girl wants to eat healthy?!?!!
you should say 'It's because I eat this and not crap all day that I am nice and skinny'

Re: what questions offend you?
I pretty much hate when people ask me about anything related to money. IE: How much I make, How much my bonus is/was, How much did your new floors cost, etc. I have a pretty good friend and all she talks about is money and I get so annoyed! I think it's annoying me just thinking about it!

Because it is REALLY personal and quite an issue for me : So, when are you having a baby ?
Reply to someone close to me : I've already got 3 on social security. Reply to someone I've just met : none except for an icy stare that makes them really uncomfortable.

Re: what questions offend you?
I used to work in a carpet warehouse and they had alot of hispanic installers. They were so rude and just didn't really know, I guess, what they were asking. But they would always ask me if I was pregnant.
I am not huge in the waste, but I am not tiny. I have a little belly bulge and If I wear the wrong shirt (empire waste line) it can make me look pregnant, especially since I have such a big chest. So that used to bother me.
I also was offended when one of them asked me why when I started working there I was so skinny, and now my face (making a big head sign with his hands around his face and puffing his cheeks out) got so big.
I know I am fat, I am not oblivious to it, I deal with it everyday, I don't need anyone to ask me questions like that.
Those 2 are what bother me, and I am guessing alot of other women, the most.
Other than that, I am pretty much open to answer anything else.

I get that too. I know they are trying to pay a compliment but it puts me in akward place -- the owner of our company did it to me last week

I think its super rude when people ask how much money you make.
I've never had anyone ask my weight, but that would be rude to me as well.
I also hate when people ask me how much things are they I have... like how much was that pocketbook? etc.

When are you planning to start a family?
Have you considered adoption?
As someone that has had a m/c and is struggling to get pg these are very sensative questions and envoke anger.

That's a good one too. I don't like when people ask me how much things are.

I can't believe someone had the balls to ask you that second question.
I don't understand the way some people think.

Re: what questions offend you?

That's why I said you should never ask a woman that...you just never know. And, for someone going through that, they more than likely don't want to keep discussing it.

i used to live at home before marriage.. and as a child i used be really chubby.. but then i started to work out and watch what i eat.. and then i started to run.. just kept with it.. but i don't want to explain it to people that i was very consicious of my image because i got teased a lot as a kid.. and i wanted to get in shape..
people joke around, does your mom send you food? do you guys order out for a meal or something? just because i lived at home does not mean that i'm retarded!!
