In fact, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkP4TJ5jj94\">a classic episode of HBO’s <i>Curb Your Enthusiasm</i></a> revolves around the fact that nobody wants to tell the pilot of a private airplane how many pounds they’re bringing on board (beyond their baggage allowance).</p><p data-block-key=\"1mceh\">So we asked consumers across the globe about whether or not they’d be willing to tell a range of different professionals how much they weigh.</p><p data-block-key=\"2t5th\">Firstly, we asked how often people weigh themselves. Some 25% say they weigh themselves at least once a week; 20% said they weigh themselves once a month; and 22% at least once every six months. Another 6% said they weigh themselves once a year; 4% less than once a year; 15% said \"hardly ever, if at all\" and 6% never. 2% said they did not know. </p><p data-block-key=\"2dam5\">In terms of who they'd tell this information to, our data found that people are most willing to tell medical professionals, (88%), dieticians (82%), and health &amp; safety professionals (79%), as well as fitness professionals such as personal trainers (76%). A similar proportion would tell a researcher or scientist (73%).</p></div><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><yg-code-snippet _ngcontent-ng-c1069321241=\"\" _nghost-ng-c688205153=\"\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><div _ngcontent-ng-c688205153=\"\" yganchortargetblank=\"\" yglightbox=\"\" class=\"inner-html ng-star-inserted\"></div><!----><!----><!----></yg-code-snippet><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><div _ngcontent-ng-c1069321241=\"\" yganchortargetblank=\"\" class=\"inner-html small compact-list ng-star-inserted\"><p data-block-key=\"yxpk5\">Some 70% would tell a romantic partner, and 55% would tell someone working in the leisure industry (one imagines a bungee jump is not the time for discretion). A similar proportion would tell someone working for an airline (54%) or in retail (51%) if asked. The group people would be least likely to tell are employers (43%).</p><p data-block-key=\"dgdpi\">Along gender lines, men are broadly more willing to tell professionals their weight than women.</p></div><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><yg-code-snippet _ngcontent-ng-c1069321241=\"\" _nghost-ng-c688205153=\"\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><div _ngcontent-ng-c688205153=\"\" yganchortargetblank=\"\" yglightbox=\"\" class=\"inner-html ng-star-inserted\"></div><!----><!----><!----></yg-code-snippet><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><div _ngcontent-ng-c1069321241=\"\" yganchortargetblank=\"\" class=\"inner-html small compact-list ng-star-inserted\"><p data-block-key=\"yxpk5\">Male respondents were more likely to tell fitness professionals (45% vs. 40%), romantic partners (44% vs. 34%), leisure staff (36% vs. 29%) retail staff (26% vs. 20%) and employers (25% vs. 17%) their weights.</p></div><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></section>"
