I'm rather cynical in life and even when they list weights I assume the following (for women).
For weights listed over 160lbs add 20 pounds.
For weights listed over 140 but under 160 add 10 lbs.
For weights listed under 135 you can assume they are pretty close to accurate.
Now before I get beaten down for this, obviously not EVERYONE does this, but I think we all know its part of the life style adds. We have been lied to about age , weight, and we won't rehash old picture stories, but I'd say of all these, lying at least a little about weight is the most common.
The guess the only real question is does it matter? Was there a 0 you would make a date with if they listed the weight? Was there a 0 you did make a date with but wouldn’t have if you knew their weight? Odds are if you are comfortable with one, you will be with the other and if you are not, then you still won’t be.
