Do women really love making gossips?

I wonder why most girls I know usually tell me issues concerning others and others' lives. I usually advise them to stop making those gossips 'cause it will not make any good, instead, may just start a fight. I also tell them to just mind their own businesses. They hear me but they respond that they simply can't avoid it. It's part of girl's life. I think it became their habit and just can't control themselves. Do you believe that women really love gossips? Why do some women fond of doing these? Do you like listening to these? And do you think there are also men who are fond of gossips???

I consider this is just a way of killing time. sometimes, men are also gossip-makers

Your topic gave me a shock. I found that I knew most of my girl from gossips. I think it is hard for girls to make friend with each other, but gossip is the most effective way. If you are not interested in that topic, you could just be a listener. When people ask you comment, you could just say yes/no. Especilally in office, gossip is the only way you keep the relationship with outher girls even you don't want to be a gossip girl.

I can relate with your response. I sometimes meet girls who tries making friends with me by telling me gossips about other people. And yes, I just comment with a yes or no especially if we're not close.

Believe me or not. I study in a all girls/all females schools during my secondary highs school and I observe that girls gossip about boys, fashion and lifestyle. Then, a teacher who taught in a all boys schools told us that boys are more fond of gossip more than girls and you may even be shock when you see their cellphone messages and what is being record which they keep it safe from girls. When boys are in groups they also talk all about girls, sports and video games. if you gonna listen to their talks they are more gossiper than girls. This is from the opinion of my teacher who was once taught in all boys coed high school. Women were more expressive of their feeling but you really don't know what comes on the mind of every boys when they get together..

hi, reco13.in my opinion, i think the girls like to share their thought with others.but the boys they don't like to hear that.because they aren't interested in that. the boys like to talking about football matches,games and so on. the boys and the girls are have different interest. so it is normal for the girls to make gossips.

I see your point. Maybe that's really the difference between boys and girls. :)

Women here in India are very much known for gossiping. I have noticed women mostly talk about what others did and trying to condemn but talk good about their own family. I guess if you dont let them talk they will go mad. Men on the other hand always try to shut them down but no matter how many times they do it women dont change, its like something inbuilt. But one can also find reserved women but its quite rare.

Gossips are actually started by women,after one incident take's place good or bad it goes across everyone men/women,with the help of women only.Its catches upon like fire an ignition is only needed that is been given by women.Women have been given this which may be a gift or disaster.Girls cannot be always blamed ,I know women who aren't having this habit of gossiping.My mum also goes with gossips to her friends and sister but it has not most of the time hurt anyone.There are people men/women who look forward to create havoc in any one's life by their talks.

women are best to do that, i too love gossiping but i afraid of my God as gossiping , back biting etc are not allowed and is re guard as a crime in our religion. its the womens best time pass second to TV, when two womens meets, what should they start? so they start gossiping about what happened here and there. yes, i believe women love gossip, sometimes i do like listening to them and i also think that some men also do gossiping about others which further creates big problems like quarrelling and fightings.

it is just something to do when people get bored. i think both men and women gossip to entertain themselves. people who have nothing better to do, turn to gossip for entertainment. i have listened to gossip and gossiped about weird relatives for fun. it is not serious conversation, just light chat.

I'm a woman, but I don't gossip and I don't like to gossip. It's just not my sort of thing. It somewhat annoys me a little when people gossip about other people and other people's business.

I'm a woman, but i get annoyed when i hear gossips. It's not just among women, some men do it as well. I'm sure you know the relationship between women is very different from that between men. Their interests are different. Gossips are just one of the different ways women maintain a relationship. Even in history, you hear about Hippapus's wife who spread the gossip that her husband discovered the irrational number (root of 2). Unfortunately, Hippapus was murdered when the gossip reached the high priest's (or someone of equal status) ears. Women are associated with gossip as men with sports. But all men are ot associated with sports and therefore not all women with gossip. Happy mylotting.

Hi reco, well I have to say absolutely, unequivacbly and definitely that the biggest gossips I have ever come across in my life are the local men in this area, girls just don't even feature in creating the gossip here, it is all man made. In fact it is nothing less than a way of life conducted in the cafenion culture here where men sit around, smoke, drink coffee and gossip. And embellish the gossip so that two hours after the event the man who stubbed his toe that morning now has no leg, and even when he later walks by on two legs it does nothing to stop the gossip.
