Why do females like to gossip a lot?

Question

I saw it almost everyday...
They even gossiped about their best friends... (and trust me, it's not a pleasant thing to hear).
And the surprising thing is that... they can instantly turn their face to their best friends like nothing has happened.

Why females can be so nasty sometimes??
Did females even have convictions that what they did were wrong?

We brag, but we rarely gossip

If we do gossip, we don't gossip about our best friends... WE just don't...

Male gossips about big boobs, how to get more money, how did we manage to get our first one million dollars, which football or basketball team will win the championship...
Why females are?

lol... do u love me? (username)

I think you miss the point...
If you're so outspoken why do you have to gossip (behind people's back)?
Why don't you just come up to them and say,"Hey dear, sorry you just S U C K"?
Isn't it better?

The point is why do you like to gossip?
Gossip - talking about someone behind their back...
Why can you just say it to their face???

I have been observing some females in my workplace when they have discontentment about something (let say management), they don't say it... but they do talk about it in the breakroom (EVERY SINGLE DAY).

I would not hire them as one of my executives for sure...

Answer 1

females are taught from earliest childhood"play nice!" we are discouraged from confronting others when their behaviour offends us,we are taught that girls should smile,not be angry,that we should be"sugar and spice and everything nice."we are taught that to be accepted ,u must please others and disregard our own needs-to nurture.consequently,when royally p-d off,a lot of traditionally raised women will vent anger by talking behind someones back,rather than to confront directly.women who gossip are called"catty",women who confront are called "b-ll busters","b-tches",etc.whats worse?me,i yell,scream,and let my anger go!!!very satisfying!hence,no need to gossip,the person who has annoyed me hears about it,right away.but it took me four decades to realise i was conditioned to be a doormat,but i dont actually have to live that way! if u have daughters someday,teach them,as well as ur sons,to speak up immediately if they feel theyve been wronged.bear in mind,some males and females who are insecure and have no self-esteem,will brag and/or gossip,building their own self-image up,by putting everyone else dow.and dont tell me u've never seen some male act "the big shot",flaunting his money/car/women,to inflate his own ego.its the male counterpoint to gossip,and just as ugly and inconsiderate.

A while back on NPR an anthropologist told of a study he did to try and determine what traits are most common to our human species. What he determined is that mostly all humans gossip. As an anthropologist he was most interested as to why we exhibit this very culturally consistent behavior. His take on it was the following; That gossip is a very old institution of the human race. It serves many purposes. by doing so we can find out important information about our surroundings and the people in them. for example, who are our allies, our enemies, what's coming down the pike that may affect us later, things authorities don't want us to know that get leaked and so on. In short it is simply an intelligence gathering activity and is often linked to survival since luck favors the prepared. Plus, we humans are unique in the sense that for an animal, if he didn't see it happen for himself, it didn't happen. We on the other hand can say"Did you hear what Jack said to Jill last night?"and get information about things we did not witness first hand in great detail. If you think it over, this an amazing development in communication! It is uniquely human and like it or not it's one of the things that sets us apart from other species.

I prefer men as friends, they are less likely to go back and gossip about things. I'm not saying men don't gossip, but to me, they are better listeners.

Answer 5

It was taught to them by their mom in in proper up bring.
BUTTTTT, as men get older they are worse to gossip than any woman I've ever seen. They have a coffee meeting place every day same time & gossip like rip....some as old as 75.

Answer 6

i've got faith delicate around the two genders, that is purely that as quickly as i'm around ladies I unquestionably have a definite "objective" that i've got faith like I could complete. There are inner motivations that make me delicate. i'm no longer asserting all men are like this yet in my view i won't be able to help myself. Spending time with youthful women individuals makes me happy, if I spend time around a team of fellows human beings call me "gay".
