Do guys listen to gossip?

Question

If a lot of girls talk about a girl, do guys pay attention to it?  Do they judge her for it or not really worry about it?

It would depend on the source and how bad the gossip is, generally if it's minor from random sources I just take it in with a grain of salt, but if it's something major I generally use my sources to find out if it's true as well as asking her up front about it (depending on how touchy the topic is, if it's a rather sensitive one, I'll be more tactful about broaching the subject).

If the source is one of my close friends (by close I mean one of my friends who I have known for 5+ years) and they directly witnessed whatever happened or was said to have happened, I'll generally heed their warning or words, but it still doesn't mean it will stop me from pursuing a girl by any means, unless it's something that is a deal breaker for me.

only stupid people heed to scuttlebutts and gossips,whether the content of the matter be true or false,i will never trust what others say,until I hear the person I suspected myself,no matter how classified the info was,even if it was between the 2 of us and now others know and talk about it,i will get tot he bottom of it.its me that won't judge,and I'm an atheist for the sake of argument I revealed that,so what's the atheist to religious ratio?i believe wise guys don't care.

Yes, guys do pay attention to it. Guys don't like girls that talk a lot about other people it just brings problems. It is a turn off. They don't want a girl that is talking about somebody andthat nobody likes.

Guys may hear the gossip but normally don't pay attention to it.  It's a  very female thing, to gossip, and especially about the things that women gossip about, those topics don't interest guys.

I always try and get my own opinions.  First impressions are everything.  If I am already familiar with the girl, I established my opinions pretty quick.  I find that gossip is simply harsh rumors.  I don't "listen" to the gossip, but will take note of things.  If I hear something that is disheartening, and actually bothers me, I will try and get the truth from the girl.  I am really not one for rumors/gossip.

I pay a little attention to it. I know how girls can be but as they say, all lies start from a truth. I do what I can not to judge on what I have heard, just use it to be prepared for what I might find.

Anything women say about other women I take with a grain of salt, and I give them the benefit of the doubt.

Just for the entertainment.  We only judge if the gossip is "catty' and a regular event.  Then annoying.
