Why do women gossip more than men ?

Asking for a friend.

Honestly some men are worse than women.....it can come from both ends though!!

@SW-User That's a point ;)

Too chicken to take the heat, eh? Not the first time you've asked for a "friend"...🤣🤣🤣

Seriously, though, it seems fairly equal to me, in my limited experience. Both men and women gossip. I've seen crowds of them in my building doing so.

@4meAndyou i worked in a mans field of work for quite a few years, the men were horrible with gossip....geez louise. I would stand there with my arms crossed and roll my eyes!! 😂

@SW-User I have a good friend, whom I call Turkey man, and when he was out and about in the world with me, I would have to sit there on the curb while he ran his mouth with almost [i]anyone[/i] he could talk to.

@Nimbus I've always known men to be just as gossipy. The quality of the gossip might vary a bit, guys tend to be more direct, and some women are more mean than the guys.

@AbbeyRhode Fair point :)

@AbbeyRhode it was that way at a couple places where I have worked. Some of the young people at Walmart would take very frequent bathroom breaks to check in on Facebook. One greeter told me that on his last day of work, he would stay in the bathroom about 15 minutes at a time. Before I quit there was a stink raised about online gossip about a married couple who worked there in the deli. They were stupid enough to use their real name and post things and the couple found out and reported them. And at the university there were two men who would shirk their duties daily, we’d see them huddled up talking and if we walked by they would speak louder about work scenarios.

Both genders gossip equally. It may seem like women gossip more, but that's only because men use less words when they gossip.

Women: "Did you see Sheila's new outfit?" "Uh, huh. She thinks is accents her figure." "Yeah, but not the parts she thinks it does."

Men: "Sheila's boobs shrank."

That's a myth.
Nimbus · M
@CrazyMusicLover Possibly but there's many a truth in myths ;)

Honestly,men do other negative crap that's just as bad.
Usually women are more social so they probably talk more than men.
I might be the exception I'm not so social.
Nimbus · M
@turnedtostone Good point 👍
Nimbus · M
@SW-User 😛
They want the safety deposit box stuffed, instead of earning their way.

Question is based on a false premise, zero evidence. Bias.
Nimbus · M
@FlowersNButterflies To be fair one could say the same about many thing.
Shall we gossip about it? ;)
FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F
Disagree, but not to be offensive. @Nimbus
smiler2012 · 56-60

SW-User
