First, it's not only women. Men do it, too.

Secondly, women in particular talk about other people because they are biologically predisposed to be very interested in the various relationships between people. So they discuss them.

Thirdly, you're just hanging out with some mean people. Sure, I talk about people and discuss them, but I don't spread nasty or malicious talk about anyone, and I don't associate with people who do. You CAN talk about other people without being mean. Try it. "Did you hear? Joe's daughter is top of her class at school!" It's easy.

There's a big difference between men and women. You see....For women, they just gossip and say what they're going to say. They can be talking for 5minutes and all of a sudden just stop or change a subject b/c they realise what they're saying. On the other hand, men......see, men think....Thinking comes first for the man, then comes what he has to say. Women, do not think, they just start babbling.

9 times out of 10 they are gossiping about an ex,their current boyfriends ex,or some women that pissed them off. drama ridden women live off this stuff because they wanna feel superior and laugh at others faults.

It makes a lot of women and men feel better about themselves to put others down.we know we dont like to be talked about but we do it anyways because its never ending cycle of dislike for certain people who have done us wrong. its dumb and childish but its never gonna go away sadly.

Society seems to be more open about women bitching than men, which doesn't necessarily mean they do it more. It just means they're more open about it.

Also, bitching can be very refreshing. It gets anger out of your system and helps you be open about your feelings to yourself.

As it's an accepted fact that women gossip, women also tend to be more accepting of bitching/gossiping in others. For instance, at my all-girls school, if girls in one group are talking about someone else in the group, it is not that big a deal.

Everyone needs to vent sometimes. Women just know this better than men.

Hi Trmsd. first, i don't think it's biological. It's envy plain and simple. However, in the case of women, they have been repressed in their dreams in many countries and there definitely is a case of violence against women in many clountries that still practice clitordectomies(Africa), widow-burning(India),polygamy(Muslim countries), pretty much the entire world has a history of abusiveness and violence towards women. so, the natural instinct is to complain about those who have "made it."

Trmsd...could not agree with you more...I had 4 sisters and we are Irish and so not only could they talk, but fast lol...oddly enough I learned to respond faster , but i think that was more of a learned process...because i still take an average of 10 mins to process and as you know ! we men have a major gap bettween the left and right hem`s of our brain and you ladies have a hair line crack and thats why you are great muilty taskers and could fly an F16`s and we men could stand on the runway thinking " What is are they doing???

Great hub...nice to meet you....mike Q

I think women only gossip when they feel unhappy with themselves and they think it makes them feel good to talk about someone else behind tgheir back. Most women don't gossip; they chat and share. Men think this is gossip because men don't talk about relationships at all. Wome care about each other, family and people. Men care but don't caht about it.

I do not know about others. I know several men who love to gossip too. But i hate gossipping. I don't like to talk bad about others or hear anyone talking bad. I normally discourage the person or give a cold shoulder. Nobody is perfect. I consider minding my own business better.

Personally, talking bad about others is a pet peeve of mine since most of the time, what is said about a particular person just simply isn't true. Even if there is some truth to what's being said, the truth often tends to wane or become exaggerated as gossip is told to more and more people. This often happens in the workplace, since people are often competing to get promoted. I strongly believe the people being gossiped about should be given the benefit of the doubt and that one should not simply just believe and listen to what is being said about a particular person.

I work with more men than women. Men do gossip from time to time.

Men seem to talk about politics, medicine, sports.

The few female workers I have seem to bitch more than then men I work with.

Of course, this is contagious and now the men are starting to bitch.

Boo- Hoo!

I'm a woman, have had my share of women friends, and have a grown daughter - and I have to say that not all women have any interest in, or patience for, gossiping. Maybe people don't notice the women who don't gossip (or else they just imagine they gossip some other time among other people).

Men and women gossip alike.But when it comes to women, gossip is associated with malicious intention.'Finding faults in others' is passed down to us from Eve's genes. In Eden, Adam spoke the truth to God, Eve concocted story to have the faults transferred to Satan......
