Do girls tend to know more about what's going with their family than guys?

Question

Do you think girls know more about the gossip in their family circle more than guys? If so, why?

Answer 1

Absolutely. They talk more. They want reassurance, so they discuss things with their mother and sisters.

I have sons and daughters. My sons might not tell me if they get a new job, or start dating someone. My daughters tell me if a boy asks them out, where he's from, where they're going, and what they're wearing.

I expect to find out my son is dating when one day he tells me he's engaged.

Answer 2

you mean gossip? Then most probably girls, girls tend to like to gossip.

And if you're asking if girls tend to noe more about whats going on with their family, it all depends but I think when you're young the girls care more cuz they are more matured than the guys and when they're older the girls doesnt care about this kinda stuff they just wanna move out. By that time maybe the guys noe whats going with their family

Answer 3

Yes, I watched a PBS speical that Pirmates develpoded larger brains to handle inter-group dynamics (aka, gossip) . This caused an increase in intelligence. And as it turns out, females brains are better at using language. Their brians tend to show up on MRI's revaling bright areas all around the brain, not localized, when language is in use. Whereas men's brains tend to light-up in smaller areas of the brain, but those areas glow very bright in an MRI. This indicates that the males are very good at focusing on one 'enemey' / 'target' at a time - (aka compartmentalized thinking)
Women tend to not be as compartmentalized and tend to think more globally, aka multitaskers and gossip requries multilevel or global congnition.
But, as a male, my feelings about gossip is that it doesn't put food on my table so who the hell cares what Paris Hilton bought on Rodeo drive? Or who Tom Cruse married. Hell I like to jump up and down on a couches now and then too, it's fun. So who cares?
well I guess women care.

Answer 4

Yes, because women are a lot more codependent than men are. They are constantly talking to their relatives, especially their mothers every day - they talk for hours about every little minor thing, so of course they know everything about what goes on in their family. Men don't need to know that kind of detail - there's more to life than being all up in your loved one's business every second of every day!

Answer 5

Well, when you can't even get a guy to notice when his mother/sister/wife has changed their hair, I think it's safe to say it's too much to ask that they be more on top of what's going on in the fam than the women.

Answer 6

I believe girls know more because they are gossipers!

Answer 7

Not my sister. She's too self absorbed. Infact at our last family gethering, she got upset because she hadn't heard something and my mother remarked that she needed to call home more often to hear about things.

Answer 8

This is true. Girls can't stop talking. When they run out of stuff to talk about they make **** up. Guys only do that we we are drinking, are drunk. And around family, that isn't often. Girls just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.....

Answer 9

Yes, guys dont gossip. Women cant shut their mouths.

Answer 10

Yes.
