Do Men Gossip? Out of a blue one fine day on a break a friend of mine out of nowhere started saying how men gossip more than women (for those wondering yes it was a chic) and being the only bloke there I was taken aback not more from the comment but rather the sudden implication of the statement. I mean here I am trying to have some fresh albeit polluted air, taking a break from the stuffy office environment and bang the statement comes and then I am expected to comment on it. Now not only have I been targeted I am expected to issue a statement on behalf of all the males species to defend this allegation and due to time restraints (remember this was a break and we had to go back to work) I had to come up with something fast and so like almost any other dude I just shrugged my shoulders, put my hands up and said the thing that every guy uses in a situation he doesn't want to get into, the golden words - "I Don't Know". Yes, that is our get-out-situation card for almost everything and as much as the opposite gender hates it they back off as they know nothing else is going to come out of it after those three brilliant words. So after squirming out of that situation I did begin to wonder do us guys gossip? Yeah sometimes we just relay a bit of information we have gathered from somewhere but instead of adding stuff to it we usually convey half of it as we usually don't remember half of it anyways - this could also be because we don't really listen we just pretend we do. So technically is that still gossip? Probably to an extent you can term it to be but when you are told so many things there has to be an outlet for them, you just can't keep it to yourself, no, that would just be plain old selfish and anyways didn't someone say sharing was caring. That said we don't mind listening to good stories coz who doesn't so girls instead of have a whinge and then complaining we don't listen, you could start with telling us some good gossip and slip a bit of your sorrows in between who know we might even listen to them for a change.
