Who is better at keeping secrets? Girls or Guys?

Guys wouldn't talk about things as much as females because guys have the need to bottle things up while girls are better known to gossip. Males that are gay might have bigger mouths then straight males though. Better off keeping secrets to your self if your worried. That's my opinion

Guys, mostly because they end up forgetting they know a secret to begin with.

easy, girls are

Guys naturally talk a lot less about the subject matters (love, relationships, odd behavior, etc.) that secrets typically fall under, so by default, they're less likely to say anything.

guys of course!..lol
well I think guys keep secrets better because our nature is not to talk, on the other hand the nature of MOST girls not ALL girls is to be talkative

Guys just don't talk. Keeping secrets is easy when you don't talk. :)

What I'm about to write is a flood of generalisations, take with it what you will.

In my experience, guys keep secrets better, and here is my guess why.
1: Numbers.

Guys tend to have less friends(or mates as we Aussies call em) in my experience. I have about 13 (5m7f) mates all up. My girlfriend has, at a guess, about 40. I guess because she considers her colleagues from work mates as well, whereas I (more or less) do not. Given the sheer number of extra people, I'd say it'd be harder to keep it a secret from more people.

2: Girls tend to "talk" more.
I don't mean that us guys sit in silence, but guys tend to talk about external stuff. Cars, computers, politics maybe, who you would rather have sex with on House, 13 or Cuddy or Cameron (for the record, I still say Cuddy). Girls tend to talk about internal stuff more. Who's dating who. What's been happening in X's relationship. Planning for a wedding. All that sort of thing. I don't mean that in a derogatory way, it's just different topics. (How do I know, I'm a nurse, and during uni I was 'one of the girls').

3: "Super best friend".
Girls tend to have some sort of 'super best friend' as well. For us guys, when it comes to choosing a best man, we might be able to figure out one, or just roll a die or go with our brother. But girls always seem to have that one special best friend. When the get a secret, they just have to share it with that super best friend.

In my case it's extra weird, my ex and my current Girlfriend are each other's 'best friend' and so sometimes my girlfriend knows things about me from when I was with my ex, that I haven't told her. Most of the time it's things I wish she didn't know as well. (not bad, just embarrassment). Girls seem to share everything with their best friend at the drop of a hat.

Honestly whenever someone tells me a secret I'm like whatever but if you tell some girl she'll probably goship about and crap lol

honestly girls because they can play it off unlike guys. With girls it's like they got some kind of alarm in there head saying were acting weird of some sort. Which makes go into thinking there's something were hiding lol. For instance I had a girlfriend and we were both cheating on each other but, she found out about who I was messing before I found about her which took like 8 months...

lol the most the girls say the guy, and most the guys say the girls do. its lose lose situation! for me I would say girls do I think that many of them out there are fragile and keep secrets to shield that fragility. But all together it really depends how big of a secret it is!

Guys.

Even girls will admit we tend to gossip less, and women often complain that they feel a need to "pry" information from us.

Incidentally, ladies, you have to pry because many of us have learned the hard way that sensitive information that enters your ears will soon exit your lips to your BFFs, even if we ask you to not talk about it.

Guys - If someone pressures us to tell the secret, we will tell them off- if they persist, we won't give them the secret... No... that would be too easy --- INSTEAD! We'll give that son of a bitch a knuckle sandwhich for being an interrogator and for getting on our nerves.


Not to be sexist, it's just my opinion =)

it just depends on who they are

guys, I don't think they feel the need to gossip to impress their friends

Haha..as I voted it's guys! Not that none of the girls can keep a secret, but majority of guys can. It's simple since guys don't stick their nose where it's not their business, so they feel it's not their business to say anything because they just know and they disrespect that :-D

neither ! lol
i have my girlfriends who are bad at keeping a secret [ hence I tell them nothing significant ]
and I have my guy friends who I recently found out tells my business to his ex.
great right ?

guys!

I think guys are better a keepongsecrets . But some girls are good aswell depending on who you tell maybe only someone like your best friend or someone you know doesn't gossip alot

Girls tell secrets more, I Date them so I know >.>

Probably guys because they could really care less about secrets and gossip kind of stuff. Where as girls, when they hear something juicy they want to run and tell their friends. But if a close friend tells me something and tells me not to tell anyone, I won't. But a lot of times I have a hard time myself. haha

In my experience, girls are better at knowing which stuff you probably want them to keep to themselves, but if you tell a guy something of very sensitive nature and flat out specify that it's a secret nobody else should know- it's in the vault. Girls will keep your secrets too, but I find guys will keep them even if down the road they're angry with you or not in your life anymore. Girls- well, they might not be so closed mouthed about it later on.

it depends on the individual and how good of a friend they are. neither gender is more apt to spill secrets.

I think neither (I voted girls, but neither)
Girls gossip. That's a fact.
Guys, though, they don't put the same importance on a secret that girls do. They just seem to not really care that much about anything, and they seem to tell their secrets in an offhand way, like "oh, you didn't know that?"

Guys. I'm so addicted to getting information about everyone, and everything that's happening. I can't keep a secret, it's like a disease I have to share with my closest friends. So definitely guys. ;)

For the most part, probably guys.

a guy

In general, guys.

i would have to go with guy
