There's a popular saying, "an idle mind is the devil's workshop." Let them go find useful things to do with their time.

I know guyz a lot of guys gossip they even lie mayb just to prove class among their friends some make stories up they sleep wit girls they never come close to touching before its pathetic when i hear my male neighbours often laughin loud when gisting and analysing different girls in their dept saying terrible disrespectful stuff abt girls. I know girls gossip too but mostly out of jealousy

Re: Why Do Nigerian Guys Like To Gossip? by BABE3: 1:37pm On Jun 23, 2011
hmm---OP, Why did you have to put the word Nigerian before guys?  undecided

Anyways-- some Men do gossip--not very typical though.

Typically,
MEN communicate to report Information.

WOMEN communicate to establish rapport./ a.k.a Gossip and bicker.

Now, here you are on NL, doing the same thing YOU ACCUSE your FATHER and your BOYFRIENDS of doing! shocked shocked

As they say, Like Father, Like Daughter! wink
I will like to hear your Mum speak and of what she speaks about!

Seems to RUN IN YOUR FAMILY!!

There is that TV program, SOME FAMILIES DO HAVE THEM or something like that!


BTW: By any coincidence, Will your Father be named FRANK SPENCER? grin grin

My own question is this: WHY is it that most (by no means ALL) Nigerian Ladies on NL dont have any worthwhile issue to discuss, than all this infantile and nonsensical gossips questions? Go get a life, y'all angry
Re: Why Do Nigerian Guys Like To Gossip? by otokx(m): 1:47pm On Jun 23, 2011
Did someone ruin your reputation?
Re: Why Do Nigerian Guys Like To Gossip? by WhyAWhy(m): 1:48pm On Jun 23, 2011
[size=14pt]I think I see all this things in a different light, the question is why do human beings gossip.

Gossip to me = Talking about something/someone that's not directly you. I think all members of this forum GOSSIP. Why did you click this  link in the first place if not to read gossip

It's part of our DNA to gossip joor.

@ Bawss1,
You may not gossip but I know some men who enjoy doing so. They actually take it to the next level - tale bearing (i.e. "bad-mouthing an individual from person to person). I speak from a personal experience and trust me, those men even beat women. Shameful!
