Who do you think gossip more? I'd like to know your experiences...

[AmandaYVR]

Women. Men stay out of others' business more. They live more independent lives. They see letting others live their live, as they see fit, as a sign of respect, and that's what they expect in return. The space to make one's own decisions.

Gossip is assessing other peoples' behaviour. There is a lot of judgment attached to it.

Although, to be fair, it is also something that creates social cohesion, and binds others together. It's necessary to know the character of others, to know who to associate with. So sometimes it is informative and helps weed out people so as to not waste time with that person, getting caught up in their messy business.

[Rosexøxø]

Women more by like 20-30%

but both equally.

Men spend most of their time with personal interests and only do small talk with sports and just assessing everyone.

Women do it more because they live in a social world or had evolved from it.

The from household to household was the female world. It’s why women are better at reading social cues/ etc.

[MenGuru]

Women hands down. Leaders of the nation don't have time to gossip when leading nations. Men get along with men more than women and men also get along with women more than women. Lol what's that tell ya? 90% of gossip is drama... How many men you know grew up watching soap operas /dramas? Huh.. let's the facts speak for themselves any person saying a man I'd definitely a women ( feminist ) being defensive. If a man is saying this it's the ones who often think that supporting a women on certain topics with get them favors.. but it's simple. Women gossip 3000% more than men. I was raised in a house full of them.. I know.

[Summeroflove]

Honestly I think this is a toss up. I think a lot of men like to say women are the only ones who do this. But men do it too and tehy know it. Not everyone but honestly I think that it is really a mix.

[MenGuru]

U gotta be a women or tryna bag one 😅😅

[Summeroflove]

@MenGuru get lost. You people on here trying to say I’m a woman on a blue account. I ain’t had someone accuse me of that in a while.

Now go the fuck away

[Summeroflove]

@MenGuru plenty of men gossip. Talk about people behind their back. The list goes on dude.

[Summeroflove]

Even if they might not consider it gossip

[MenGuru]

I've never heard a man say women are the ONLY ones who gossip. So your reaching pretty hard with that one which proves my last point in my last comment. Men gossip yes. That's not the point being discussed her. Women gossip 10x more than men. Gossip can be considered me telling my best friend what me and my brother did today. But I'm most cases gossip is DRAMA. Which is created solely for women's entertainment. Use your brain 🧠

[jennifer_bloom]

I know plenty of men who gossip - most of the enemies who made up and spread lies about me were men.

[Guy13]

Women gossip verbally and nonverbally much more than men.

[Avicenna]

Definitely women. There’s no doubt about that.

[Anemone978]

Its pretty much the same tbh lol

I had a guy friend gossiping about a girl I was friends with but didn't really like cuz she was a bitch. And he was telling all this stuff about her and I told him one thing about her. A couple months later he went out with her and told her I was talking shit about her, lol then she asked me about it and said yeah I was and she blocked me but I couldn't care less cuz I didn't even want to be her friend. Mind you I never told her what the guy was saying about her. And then after that I never trusted him, but we remained somewhat friends. Then about 2 years after that she tried to reach out to me and re-add me on fb. I just ignored her because I don't even like her lol

[MenGuru]

Not anywhere near close 🤣

[Anemone978]

@MenGuru Well in my groups of friends they all gossip the guys too... so I don't know maybe its just my type of friends lol but like even my dad has a big mouth and always tells my grandparents what im up to..
This story was just where the guy was the one like telling everyone about her.. but there have been plenty of times I heard story's about people from my guy friends

[MenGuru]

You just made my morning 🤣 that dad line got me. Sounds like you have a good father. Appreciate him 💯❤️ he loves you.

[Anemone978]

@MenGuru Hahaha yeah I know he does... but it can be annoying LOL

[Lalalove11]

Women unfortunately! In my experience women are way more catty and covert. Less likely to just say something directly to your face. The amount of women I knew in college and high school who pretended to be nice but weren't really, was quite staggering tbh and scary to think about 😂🤣 I learned not to trust women, but also not to trust men for other reasons. I've found men are more direct in communication. We could get into the multiple reasons why that is, but yeah this is just my experience.

[Graci_e]

I live in a household of girls and I have guy friends that I spend a lot of time with, girls and guys gossip equally. My brother and my boyfriend are best friends, and they’re always gossiping about their mates. My sisters and my cousins and I gossip heaps too.

[FireGodGoesSeeknFire]

Women. It's not close. The reason straight men have goto topics like sports us precisely because they feel awkward gossipping with other straight men.

It often feels like y the seeds of violence keeps getting tossed on the ground but everyone is overconfident that a whoop-ass bush is not in your near to medium future.

[AnyAdviceAppreciated]

I have an equal mix of male and females at my place of employment and I think it's fair to say that females gossip more than males. I have actually noticed on a lot of occasions that my male colleagues will either walk away from a conversation that is gossip, will try to change the topic or will appear uncomfortable. In saying that however, on the rare occasion I have overheard males gossip, but no where near the extent of females.

[Sixgunsound]

Without a definition of gossip, I have to say that I think men talk about sports politics or money more but not exclusively, where women will talk about social things emotional things, or relationship things more but not exclusively. If you live in the West, at least for now, they Are pretending to let us have the freedom of government approved speech.

[Blackcupcake]

both, literally. I do know some dudes who aren’t gossipy. like I’d try to tell them stuff and they’ll just laugh or be like “wtf” or something but not really engage much… lol. while others will be all about it. to be honest, I don’t think I’ve met a girl who absolutely refused to gossip, so… 🤪

[Blackcupcake]

but I would like to add that, im not a gossiper in a sense where I go around telling people gossip. I grew up around dudes, we never gossiped, we played around lol. and the only only person I ever share gossip with is my best friend lol

[Anonymous]

women. omg my ex coworker really needs to get a life. she will not stop with the drama at a place she doesn't even work at anymore! she is constantly stalking my coworkers online because she takes things too personally. i mean, you're 40 years old... get over yourself! i'm like 10 years younger than her and have never acted like this and if i have it was when i was like 16... i really wish i could remove myself from a group text message.

[lilyanony1]

People that are driven by drama...
People that like to hear something they consider to be juicy.
I think it's the kind of thing that people indulge in because the working day can get monotonous...

[MenGuru]

* women. Not People. No need to be defensive.

[lilyanony1]

People... No need to be defensive

[MenGuru]

People isn't a fact. Women is a fact. So I'm not being defensive you are. Studies have been performed. Start accepting being wrong in life. It'll help you evade debates your sure to lose.

[lilyanony1]

Blocked your ass!

[Adam1978]

Women, are guilty of wasting more time with that. Men are more focused and if they talk it's often things like news, sports and politics that comes up. Not gossips.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

From what I've seen from classmates to workmates: Women. ☕ Some cases, there are men who gossips with me but that's when we are close enough to talk about things. 😂

[Sorrento-Sun]

Based on personal experiences, I believe women gossip more. They tend to be more bitchy than men too.

I'm generalising based on life experiences.

[dustybiker]

Some men can do their fair share. And some woman refuse to. Contrary to most popular assumptions. I think it’s less gender and more individual.

[Justin1019]

Women gossip far more often than men.

Women are far more social beings than men which is why they have more time sharing rumors about other people.

[SnowedIn]

Neither. I think they both do it but men don't call it gossip. They just talk. I think this is a terminology thing.

[Revvl6pro]

Sheriff,
I love country music, and I really like the Randy Travis' song: "Forever and Ever, Amen"

Oh, baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

I think guys talk about the weather, and women talk about men.
I had a friend who had a plaque on his dash of his car:

"Those who have nothing to say, just talk about the weather."

[SnowedIn]

@Revvl6pro ... you NEVER cease to put a smile on my face.

[Revvl6pro]

Here's another smile for you. My question about traveling to the sun was just deleted for being spam.
Spam is mass email or physical mail. It's like all the pizza fliers you get in the mail. Spam doesn't exist on this site. Spam just means that people who you've blocked are out for revenge, and report you. This site was much better when blocked people were invisible. Now they can see you and report your questions. Two people called me stupid for my question about going to the sun. I blocked them. Now the question is gone. I had two questions locked and loaded, but it's pointless on this site.

[SnowedIn]

That's a bummer. Fun questions are... well... fun. Sigh. And my answer was pretty good too. Sigh.

[SnowedIn]

sic transitas gloria mundi

[Revvl6pro]

My next question was going to be a funny story about the giant eagle that stole my sandwich. True story. But it's spam, so what's the point? The site is dead. It was much better back in the day.

[SnowedIn]

So you're not going to ham it up about that sandwich, huh?

[katiesmuff]

Women! I work with 40 women and about 25 guys and women win the gossip trophy hands down.

[melanieeeB]

Both do but I know two work colleagues who are the ultimate gossipers and both are guys haha
