Why Do Women Love To Gossip? -
08-05-2008, 02:34 PM
eeeee!!! ebu call me kwa namba ya ofisi nikupatie moshene!!!
While gossip forms one of the oldest and (still) the most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views, it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature.
Some people commonly understand gossip as meaning the spreading of rumor and misinformation. Women have at one time or other destroyed their marriages and friendship as a result of gossip……
Women, can you please tell us why you enjoy to gossip a lot . 20 hours on the phone, internet - just talking about people. No wonder they love to watch Judge Judy and Jerry Springer etc…!!!
Is it a disease or bacteria? Can it be treated?

Women are lazy of reading newspaper and watching/listeningto news. They prefer passing it by word of mouth.
Men are glued to the media which is nothing but professional gossip. No wonder most media houses are employing good legged girls to propagate gossip.

We generally discuss ideas... where to get cheap car spares, siasa, soccer and booze. Come to think of it...is that why the Wrigt Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell made great historical discoveries?
Great minds discuss ideas... idle minds discuss other people

May be that, in addition to women. Men boast about the women they've been with, how quarrelsome women are, what his woman did to him today, yesterday, etc.
If you happen to be in the company of mo-uk, then your conversation is about a woman's role in socitey and the kitchen, she should stay home and make babies instead of going to work, etc.
If in realistpolitico's company, then your conversation is about "sleeping with whores at koinange street" and how "it will prevent you from contracting AIDS".
So you see, you guys aren't very different from women. Some men gossip even more than women, it's just society finds it more appealing to label it as a "woman's disease". But then again, what on earth isn't blamed on women?

Guys are different from women in that they are meant to speak 50,000 words per day and there is no better way of doing so other than gossiping.
Imagine a woman who hasn't spoken more than 500 words in a day, the amount of "carry over" words she would have for the following day. mmmmmhhh women!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Take time to be with yourself. It will help you to be with others.

actually do you know why women talk a lot more than men???....because men are very slow in assimilating information, you have to repeat yourself constantly for them to get whatever information you are trying to put across.
What do you gossip about to your boys? Think and you shall figure it out.
you know what they call it okiedokes, ati 'discussion', and if you were to take minutes of these alleged discussions, this is how it would be:
Jim told bob that women with bigger bootys are the best.
Bob argued and said women with small booty and bigger bosoms are the best.
They both argues for a good half hour, knocked each other down, broke beer bottles, then calmed themselves down, coz they are 'boyz'
a vote was taken and it was anonymously decided that bigger booties and bosoms are the best.
Now if it was with women this is how it would go down
Okiedokes asked Barb what she thinks about the coming election, Barb responded by saying that she was supporting Barrack Obama, Okiedokes said that she was also supporting him because she thinks he can really bring change, and we can actually have an active, articulate, beautiful and very educated first lady.
now there is a clear distinction between gossip and discussion.
PROFANITY IS A SIGN OF AN IGNORANT MIND TRYING TO EXPRESS ITSELF

The better question is -

Why are men interested in why women are interested in gossip? - Do they feel that they are missing out?
- do they want to participate?
- do they want to find out their reputation as lovers, liars, husbands, businesspeople, etc.?
- do they want to learn the tactics so they can apply them in their story telling?

You know it girl. I agree with you, and during these so called "discussions" men are loud, and could even punch one another when drunk.
@111!...now yo uare talking. Ask your fellow men all those questions.

These days when I see Okiedokes in a "Woman bashing" thread, I feel content.There is no need for me to respond at all.She places it aaaallllllll there. 
Usiniharakishe please. You can’t hurry meringues, couture, or the Hermes Birkin bag waiting list. So why try to hurry a vision of loveliness? (Fraglante)
