Back in 1987, I was scheduled for a Midway Air flight from Dubuque to Chicago. They weighed my luggage, then they asked me what I weighed. They assigned my seat based on the second answer. As for dignified, I don't know what they'd have said if I'd picked out something way to small or big, say 120 or 250. It was mild weather though, and nobody was wearing clothes that would make it hard to guess weight fairly well.
