Yes, when asked I tell them and I dont lie. There are typically 4 reasons someone asks; a) they make a lot and want to have a dick measuring contest, usually in public. The social score I keep for these people drops markedly when this happens. They dont take it very well if they find out they are packing a small one, the ones who take it really badly - the ones you are on the same level as. Often they will masquerade as being in the d) category. b) they make nothing and want to shame you. As bad as a) c) judgement; 'why do you spend so much on X', 'why is your car so shitty', etc. I have might have more contempt for these people than a) or b). They are like financial planners, but unsolicited and shitter. d) they are really wanting advice, or to give advice. Benchmarking salaries, suggesting you are underpaid, asking paths for their children etc. (If your kid wants to know, make the intro and let them have the conversation). These are the good guys, but sadly a very low % of requests. If you close yourself to the first 3 cases (95%) then this very small category, where you can actually make a difference for people goes away too.
