it isn't impolite if you follow it up with, "but you don't look a day over 25!" even if they look like an old raisin.

I can understand weight but are women really sensitive to age?

Because they're insecure. Not all women are like this.

Because society tells us that old women are wholly undesirable.

I never understood it either. Not telling your age or lying about it doesn't make you any younger.

It's rude because it puts the woman in the very awkward position of not knowing what how or what kind of judgement you are going to make about her based on that. Weight I don't get though. You can't really hide your weight. We can see it and take a very good guess as to the range. There is no real judgement attached to adding a number to your weight. If someone is going to be judged on their weight a number isn't going to change that for better or worse.

Because some woman look older than they really are. They might feel self-conscious being 33 and looking like a 57 year old.

Because according to our soceity, a woman's value and appeal decreases with age while a mans value increases with age. Now there is some kind of truth to this or else there wouldn't be such a thing as trophey wives. When I am out working in the rich neighborhoods, the married couples I see often times consist of a fat old man or successful ugly nerd with a smoking hot young wife. The types of men they never would have said too words to in high school.

A woman's worth and especially her desirability as dictated by society are largely dependant on her age. Therefore age is a sensitive topic. Therefore it is considered rude to ask a woman's age. It's not rocket science.

People can be sensitive about certain characteristics. How would you like it if some stranger came up to you and asked about the size of your junk?

Hmm. In my pledge year at university, my fraternity brought in a police officer to assure us all that asking a women's age was not only polite, but should be considered practically mandatory prior to attempting to get into her pants.

Just never ask!  Who really cares if they look hot.  Otherwise just move on...they're not for you anyway.
