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.

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.

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.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

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

Guy13 · Answer

Women gossip verbally and nonverbally much more than men.

Avicenna · Answer

Definitely women. There’s no doubt about that.

Anemone978 · Answer

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

Lalalove11 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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… 🤪

Anonymous · Answer

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 · Answer

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...

Adam1978 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

katiesmuff · Answer

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

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Women for sure. I work with 99% women. I stay away. That’s why I have no female grouppy friends.

summiter · Answer

I'll probably get some backlash for this but I think women are. No big deal actually but guys will brag... but not gossip as much.

Redhead1981 · Answer

Women definitely gossip more but some women don't like to participate in gossip. And some men can be just as bad as a woman with gossip but it's less common.

TheVigilantFox · Answer

I’d say women, you always see little old ladies talking about someone or other on busses, men I don’t think give a hoot really.

CateM · Answer

Women Because they like to talk shit, start shit and stir up a bees nest of trouble by not minding their own business

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Women for sure, but not by as large of a margin as many men would think. Ell oh ell!

Citizenkirk · Answer

It all depends on how many men and women thier are in this equation.

FootfetishistBoy · Answer

Neither. Its not about men or women, its about people who aren't interesting enough, so they have to make a whole conversation about someone else

loveslongnails · Answer

Women, by far. They like to get up into everyone's business. Men only give a shit if a woman puts out.

sunflower44 · Answer

Sad to say but definitely women sorry gals 😜I think it's because we care more about what people think🤔

OddBeMe · Answer

Ehh, prob women still as it’s a culture thing. Men don’t really talk as much as we should honestly. We should feel “manly” asking about sex or depression, etc.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I think it is pretty much equal between males and females.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I think it varies among both Men or Women, no one is a Saint.

Cubus · Answer

It is scientifically proven that women talk more. So we can also assume that they gossip more as well.

Men. I’ve seen them with my eyes doing it at work and they are worse than us when it comes to gossiping.

Bananas83 · Answer

Probably women. Men are more likely to call that person out in their crap and would rather deal with it. Just my opinion

WTFdivorce · Answer

Women will gossip more with their girlfriends when they are single. When they are married they don't have many friends so it then stops.

HelloHell · Answer

I think both do. Its not on the basis of gender. It depends person to person. Men don't take gossip seriously but they do too.
