Who do you think gossip more? I'd like to know your experiences...
1.3K opinions shared on Relationships topic. 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.

319 opinions shared on Relationships topic. 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.

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.

+1 yHonestly 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.

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 🧠

+1 yIts 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 lol14 Reply- +1 y
@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 - +1 y
+1 yWomen 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.
00 ReplyI 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.

+1 yWomen. 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.00 Reply
+1 yI 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.

+1 yWithout 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.

+1 yboth, 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… 🤪

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(30-35)+1 ywomen. 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.

+1 yWomen 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.00 ReplyNeither. I think they both do it but men don't call it gossip. They just talk. I think this is a terminology thing.

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."

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.

I was at a restaurant with my girlfriend a few weeks back and there was a table with 2 older ladies (prob in 70s) next to us, and they spent the whole time talking shit about another younger couple a few tables away. Commenting on how they dress, their looks, how they were interacting during dinner... the typical "kids these days" stuff. And then went into talking about how they disapprove of their grandkids for similar reasons.

When I was younger I was on the bus and 3 young girls got on they were talking about boys and other stuff, one of the girls got off they all said bye and as soon as that girl got off and went the other two did nothing but bitch about her I felt sorry for her really having 2 people in her life who clearly don’t care about her to run her down like that. Women and girls seem to be worse for gossiping and slagging people off, I don’t know why they do but there we are.
As far as I know, women. I overhear most gossip in the bathrooms at school, and I've never been in the boys bathroom
