Why do people spread so many sexual rumors about women? More importantly, why do so many people jump to conclusions and believe all those said rumors?

I'm sure it happens to men, too, but I've had several rumors spread about me. This is going to be long, so please bear with me.

A lot of men have talked about me sexually. My old boss, let's call him Billy, who is 67 (I'm 25) has said things like I was his workplace crush and how I was wearing that sexy black dress that he likes (He saw it on Social Media). Because of this, there have been several rumors about us sleeping together. Some people even claim they saw me first hand going into his place and f^cking. There was another guy, let's call him Mark, who has tried to place a claim on me. When a new guy, Braydon, arrived (young and single), Mark told him how I was off limits. He never explicitly stated we were dating but left subtle hints. Mark told him things like I was quiet, but I had a "wild side." Well, Braydon found out I was single and had zero feelings for Mark. We've been together ever since. When Mark found out, he told him about the rumors regarding me and Billy. Braydon didn't believe Mark, but a lot of other people did. In fact, one of my old coworkers/friends got in touch with me a week after Mark told Braydon about those rumors. She told me how she ran into one of our old coworkers, Dalia, and Dalia told her I slept with Billy when I worked under him. Funny thing is Braydon is my first boyfriend. I was a virgin yet the workplace slut at the same time.

But it doesn't just happen to me. There is a new girl who was promoted to Corporal a week after she finished training to be an officer. She is going to be on Day shift with the male administration. But people are already spreading rumors that she knew some of the administrators "really well." I know way better than to believe in those rumors, and anyone with half a brain wouldn't believe in them either.

So here's the question: Why do so many people make up rumors about women sleeping with men of authority? Why do people not see that some men are just pervs? Can no one think for themselves, anymore?

Emphasis on a lot of men. In your post.

Men start these and feed into these. Stubborn men. Braydon probably knows a thing or two about that but doesn’t partake. He’s not stubborn. Which is great for you both.

Ladies may fuel the fire especially out of jealousy but I don’t think they’d believe it or spread it as men would in the fucking game on who has more and who’s a bigger male or hot shot “ “.

It’s a shame that they do that but it’s best the women not add to that and also to not give social privileges and allowance to any males who do initiate or partake in those pitiful rumors. Yes, it’s possible of a man and a woman sleeping together, but it’s rare. Not every woman mixes work with play and not every man is a bastard who does that either. If it’s a mutual thing so be it and no one else has to be involved like some verbal orgy. It’s pathetic. But from what I know about rumors I never try to defend myself. I let my actions speak, and if anyone crosses lines I correct them and don’t give them clearance to disrespect me.

If anyone did such things, I’d just say “hey? Can we talk about doing our actual job and not gossip like little school children? That’s a little overrated.” 🤷‍♀️ just is.

Glad everything worked out for you and Braydon though! That you got things all cleared up. He seems like a catch and worth a wait ☺️ best to you lucky lovebirds!

Bitter men either jump to assumptions or they spread rumors to make themselves feel better about their miserable, non-existent sex lives.

Guys that do that aren't happy with there life and they're trying to make themselves looks better. They believe it because for some strange reason people find it easier to believe something negative as oppose to something positive it's sad but true. My advise to you is don't let it bother keep you head up and power through the bullshit. This is a great question keep up the good work!!!😉😉😉

Well , its the old story with Rumour / Chinese whisper , make up a great story and tell someone , who you know will spread it ( but tell them not to ) , you will know its made rumour status , when another completely random work mate / associate tells the story back to you.

I wouldn't worry about it , just ignore.

It is sure that a woman is never alone. She always has rumours spreading about her some or the other way.
