Why Do Women Love To Gossip?
« on: September 21, 2007, 03:19 PM »

While gossip forms one of the oldest and (still) the most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views, it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature. Compare conversation.
Some people commonly understand gossip as meaning the spreading of rumor and misinformation,

Women have at one time or other destroy there marriages and friendship as a result of gossip…… women can you please tell us why you enjoy to gossip a lot . 20 hours on the phone, internet taking about people. Is it a disease or a bacteria? Can it be treated?

Where did you hear that women gossips more than the men?

You know what, I use to think exactly like you, I guess that’s why I don’t have less that 5 females friends but something I’ve realized for the past 8months have been on Nairaland is that Men gossips that we women, and speaking from my experience on Nairaland

Most people(not women only) gossip because they have nothing to do
l suggest people look for  constructive things to do than waste time  gossiping about others

That we are guys of which we are proud of doesn't mean we have

to blindfold ourselves to the real cruze of the matter even while it

is so glaring. But this does not give you the rigth to insult us right

before our very noses or does it?

hi, women actually gossip more than guys 'cause they are meant to speak 50,000 words per day. there is no better way of doing so other than gossiping. imagine a woman who hasn't spoken more than 500 words in a day, the amount of "carry over" words she would have for the following day. mmmmmhhh women!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Lips sealed

While gossip among women is ridiculed as low and trival, gossip among men especially about women is called theory or idea or fact.

when men want 2 gossip they gossip times 2

Men gossip just as much as women, just about different things.

For example, a man's most likely to double date AND tell their friends about extra marital affairs.

Women gossip because they were not created but made. The rib God took from papa Adam was the rib of gossip.
Did you get something now? The Rib of gossip was used in making women hence they gossip.

Thats unfortunate, but from what ive realised 70% of women who gain Bsc in courses prefer to get money fro their husbands and travel to Dubai, buy some stuff and come back 2 Naija to set up a Boutique or a Shop for the All day gossip rather than get a job, so why blame guys? Guys gossip too true, but mostly after the days job is done and they r relaxing over bottles of Beer  Wink

I find it sad that people often wish to genderise issues to the point where they now make the next gender appear silly or stupid or both. Anyway, as far as gossip goes, its a cross-gender malaise. Saying only women gossip is like saying only women are gold diggers. In fact, most of the most damaging gossip I have ever heard has come from men. I have loads of male friends so I know what I'm talking about.

So for me, the real question would probably be 'Why do people gossip atall?' but I guess I should make that another thread shouldnt I? lol.

It used to be men discuss, women gossip. But these days some men gossip twice as much. Anyway, gossip is meant for ideal minds because 24 hrs is barely enough for me to do my runs and hit my laptop.

you sound really funny infact u make me laugh, that isn't enough reason for women to gossip  more than men, i think  gossiping comes as a result of idleness and therefore i suggest women should get themselves involved in constructive activities .

Mellow, I disagree with the before thing. I use to also think that we gossip more, but when I went off to College, I learned a whole new game.  I don't think they gossip more or less. I just KNOW for a fact that they gossip JUST LIKE US!!! Shocked
