Who is more interested in gossip-men are women?

Hi Kala! Long back I started somewhat similar discussion – are girls more talkative. I received many responses and there was no uniformity in those responses. Therefore, based on those responses and my own experience, I feel it is difficult to say that women are more interested in gossiping. I think when some people gather in a group, irrespective of their genders, they just want to vent out and discuss their experience and or wish to criticize others, whom they cannot do face to face……….LOL! Now a day, life has become so busy that one finds little time to converse with each other. Therefore, as soon as any opportunity arises, one does not let it go and keep talking till the hilt. I’ve observed that when my better half is with her sister/mother/sister-in-law, she enjoys talking to them. I think many of us feel more comfortable and convenient talking and venting out to same gender person. Have a great day!

I have no doubts at all.Women are more interested in gossip. I am wondering why they behave so. I have seen many highly educated and good women are having a passion for this.lol. May be that is because a woman's world is comparatively smaller.

For years and years I always thought women were the worst gossips. Am finding many men love to gossip as well. I know of 3 men especially who make gossiping their sole idea of life. As a female, I've never been into this sort of thing. I don't want anyone to point at finger at me saying I was the person who started "dirt" about another person. I'd prefer to sit back and let gossip get around to me over and over again by others. Then I play dumb and pretend as though I know nothing. It keeps me safe..lol

Hi dear, I think this bad habit is registered with women’s name. If any men become talkative then nobody is giving much attention to that because ladies are there to blame. I agree a girl child is more talkative than a boy because girls are always a step forward in learning languages. But in case of gossip men are equally interested. Don’t think that men are innocent.

I hear my husband while he is on the phone with one of his friends and talk about gossip! They usually talk for over an hour every time and the majority of the conversation is about other people they know! Whenever I come home after having lunch with my friend hubby will usually corner me and say’ “ Come on, what’s news? Tell me the gossip!” He is worse than any woman I know! Personally I don’t like gossip even though I am guilty of getting caught up in it occasionally!

Ha! its a been a debate since years and I guess everybody knows the answer..Its women who gossip more and I think its our achievement..I am a girl and trust me all the women in my family (its a joint one) can gossip for hours about every damn thing on earth..Its true that men also gossip but they can hardly continue to talk nonsensical things for long. This is based on my personal observations..The two most popular topics for gossip Women: "Hey the dress that lady had been wearing was good...new trend hah?" Men: " They should have selected Sourav for this match..this selectors doesn't have any knowledge of cricket." Have a nice day!

Men and women gossip, but they do it in different ways. I think that women do it more than men, but men when they gossip they usually do it over drinks or in completely casual settings.

I wouldn't start off in praise of men as they are no saint when in the company of their own species. Men are not petty. Women are. Men are able to sieve out more important issues from the trivial and to do this without any difficulty. Women are not so selective and tend to make the most trivial issue a big one. Men when out on social drinking tend to gossip more than women and they enjoy the gossips among themselves while drinking.

Women do gossip I agree but also gossip.Not all men and women gossip.When women get together they talk of umpteen things like where to get cheaper things which is truly neccessary for shopping ,about cooking and so many useful tips are dealt upon.At the same time they are unknowi ngly led to gossip.Men also start with a kind of the nature of the present state of affairs and are sometimes led to talk about other families and friends .So we can conclude that both the genders do gosssip though it is the female who are renowned for gossiping.

you'll be surprised at how men (some men, that is) can be more gruesome in details than women are when they gossip. I do have guy friends, and when they are around, they are the bearers of gossip. But I guess it depends. Some women aren't into gossip just as some men are not.

I'm a dude so this is not bias as well... Well I think that girls are more interested in gossip than men! Hence the sitcom Gossip Girls!

I personally think that both are equally good if we rate them ,but only difference that might be notice is that men's topics are familiar to changes whereas women are not seem so.

In general women are more sensitive than men, but the character of men and women depends on himself(herself). We often see some women are generous, and some men are narrow-minded. so like gossip.

i don't think but i'm sure that women are the source of gossip and we men can be their novis students, of course they talk a lot and they fight us when we don't talk as much as they do as if the problem was in us but we man can act as if we like gossip cuz if we don't they'll hate us

I can talk about me as a man.I have seldom talked about other people as I have a lot of other things in business to talk about.Moreover it is my nature not to gossip because I always think that it is just a waste of time.We just cannot squander the precious time on empty talks. After years of being together no wonder my wife too has become like me which is another inevitable thing that tend to happen in a relationship. And to be true I can say it is only the women who are more interested in gossiping as they have the time and company.Once men deny the women a healthy time pass there is no point in finding fault in the ladies too.And finally I have to say that I know a lot of harmless women gossipers too.

i do agree that women do tend t talk more but it necessarily neednt be gossip.i think women tend to worry a bit more,so to releive the stress,they tend to talk it outas it known to releive stress.

Is women are more interested in gossip than men? Generally I would say yes. But recently I observe a bit, men talking about gossip too, but the topic would be somewhat different. Games, politic, profession would be favorite thing to talk, of course including rumor about them. Why this soccer player performing so bad this season, but rarely about whether he has a mistress...Why boss always put a low salary to them, but never about where the boss does the haircut. Women tend to talk about small and simple things, why this actor seems to be cold to his wife, not like when they just got married. Why he doesn't wear his back pants anymore. Sometimes it considered to be naive , but I bet police and detective rely on this kind of talks to solve the cases and mystery :)

This is one way to find out how much we can talk about women ,yes men also talk unnecesary,, U know this topic is for fun,,U SAY SO,, u know what's the best joke,, LOOK 2 ladies sitting there,,VERRY quiet,,HA HA

Hi kalav, A gossip is a gossip and it interests both sexes. The kind of gossip women are interested in may be different from what men would love to hear but both will be interested in something juicy and intriguing. Also, women tend to react openly to this kind of info, while men may be able to handle it like it's just another story but deep inside they get excited over it too.

I think women are more into gossipping. Men are least intrested in this because I have heard them talk about cars, bikes, computers,technology and so on...Gossip is more of a girlie thing as women watch others more and talk about others more than men. even if women gossip to men, the just hear with one ear and let it go through the other !!!
