Men do sometimes talk about other guys, but normally we don't. We normally talk about women Men gossip, but women take it to whole new art form

Very, very rarely. The guys I hang out with would really talk about women that we are looking at at the moment

Us women do gossip more! Men do gossip, absolutely, but not nearly to the same extent as women. There's some really interesting theories about how gossip is a primitive social tool that allow for organizing into groups. Gossip allows group members to recognize their position within a group, and behave accordingly (so that they are not cast out). And this responsibility has primarily fallen to the woman. So yes, we do gossip more... but its to the benefit of mankind!!

I think its because women tend to be more talkative than men are that is why the perception that women are much more gossiper that men are. Well we men do gossip but that is not that rampant as with you women. Sometimes we men do not even bother what is happening and when things do get our attention then that is only the time we do gossip. But for women almost every detail of the person they want to talk is being talked about when conversing with other women.

Yup what is really interesting is the way you sometimes talk about a person sometimes its overly described. That is why its called gossip.

yeah, men gossip as much as women. men are just more cool about and discreet. they dont show it like women and make a big deal about it. they lay low and act sly.

it is just something to do with bored people trying to entertain themselves with something...and gossip is entertaining for a lot of people, especially if you know many weird people in your area who are entertaining. that is why many people are interested in celebrity gossip and the crazy lives of these celebrities because they are so different, interesting and entertaining from the norms of society that everyday people live our routine boring lives.

Men I think talk about woman and how they look. Good or Bad. Woman talk about every thing. That is the difference. I know with my friends its not just guy talk. And when I walk up on a group of guys at work, its girl talk.

I noticed that us as women do gossip a lot more than men. :D There are a few women out there who do not gossip and feel that it is bad but, some women think it is the world for them. I personally, don't care to gossip as I know that some things that people say can hurt others but, if it's gossiping about clothes or something then Heck Yeah! I am there. I have seen some very close friends get hurt from people gossiping about them and others and that is the main reason I tend to stay away from it. I don't like to hurt feelings or that. Very good questions! Have a good one! Kat
