I know for a fact that there are many people, especially women, who thrive on gossip. They want to hear it, and be the source of it as much as possible. Early in the morning, these gossip-lovers already look for the juiciest stories of the day, like who's eloping with whom, who's dating the boss, was so and so able to pay her debts, so and so got arrested for this and that, etc.

Hi, Cutie19f. No, I am not an person that thrives on gossip. I was never this way at all. I don't like to hear the latest issues of other peoples business. I don't feed on it during the first topic in the mornings. But, it is appealing to hear gossip. But after a while it gets tiresome because, hearing gossip will never benefit anyone. It is just something that is made to be annoying.

I do listen to gossip,but I don't dwell in it.when I heard a gossip,I don't spread it myself.I would rather not start the spreading.I listen to it,that's it.while gossiping is really fun,I would rather not start it.

I feel gossiping is the worst thing to do in the world. I would not do anything as bad as gossiping. The person about whom we gossip gets harmed in some or the other way as we gossip. It is a waste of time. We do not gain anything from it. Also our image gets destroyed. SO whats the use. Instead spend 10 minutes doing some useful work. That will be a better option!.

So you think women gossip more than men? I don't know about that, both Hubby and I belong to chat rooms and he is always more active than me. Maybe it's just this one case. Or maybe it's because I find no value in gossip and much harm. Blessings

I have to say yes and no. I love listening to people gossip about whoever but I am not the type who will gossip about others just for the sake of it. I will share my opinions to other people only when they initiate the conversation about it. But other than that, I will keep quiet and watch others act.

I do not enjoy gossip at all. I am too concern about people well being to be gossiping. People can get hurt or even killed because of gossip. The people who gossip are just trying to move the attention away from them, because they know they have too much on their dinner table to chew. I think they shout worry about clearing their table before worring about someone else table. Happy lotting.

I dont enjoy gossip, as much as possible I would like to know less. It wont do any good for me and so with the people around me. If someone said a story to me about other people, I would listen, ask some questions then avoid telling it to others. I'm not good in prying other people's lives.

I'm not a gossip girl...and as much as possible i avoid it....but i can't avoid listening to it cause some tell me gossips just to have a topic to talk about...and after hearing i tell them my opinion and that's it already...it annoys me really...i mean i hate it when i hear people talking about others lives while they can't talk about theirs...so what if something happened to anyone around them is it already that worth it to waste time and chat about it..???they have their own lives and they're judging others already....and even if the problem is just a small matter gossipers make it a big matter..they add words or create stories...damn ...!!!*-*

Life is sometimes dry. Occasionally, we need to listen to something interesting to entertain us, be it a fact or a fad. Every now and then, I am entertained by colleagues who love to start their little gossips with "I heard a rumor..." I just sit and listen, sometimes giving them a smiling face or a nod. How the heck do they know so much about somebody whom they seldom, or never get in touch with? Ah, the wonders of gossips.
