Men don't know how to gossip right!

Let me tell you, my man can gossip, lol!! He will know the time, place, year, and the day. What ever you need to know he is your man. I believe it's because he is nosey :). Sometimes, I feel that men gossip just as much as women and as a matter of fact, I read in a newspaper that men are bigger gossipers then us women.

I think that men love to gossip as much as women. We just do it differently. It's important to us to know who is sleeping with who, we assume they wear underwear, but we don't really care, what we want to know is where did they do it, who saw them and what's the effect going to be on the family or work. We don't want women to think that we gossip though. Also we like to do it at safe times, Having a drink, playing/watching sports, or to be safe, with women. That way they go home and say, "old p1kef1sh, he's not such a weirdo, I've just a chat with him about the price of groceries"! I have noticed that women will gossip with other women, even if they don't know them too well. Men usually have to know someone pretty well before they will chat in a defences down way. Anyway, that's my male perspective on it. Anytime you want a chat, just drop me line.

Oh no... I disagree! Some men are far worse than women for gossiping. Whenever I go to the pub, they ask me what's the gossip and when I don't have any for them, they start their own! ha ha ha. I think your husband must either be disinterested in other people's gossip, or a very controlled person. Be grateful for that... and go to the pub and get your gossip. There's never a more talkative man than when he's had a pint or three! ha ha ha. Brightest Blessings.

ROFLMAO!!! That is hilarious, and so very true! I try my best not to gossip, but of course can't help but overhear things in places such as the hairdresser's and other places! You are so right. My husband tries not to gossip too, but will casually say something that he has heard and it will undoubedly be just enough to drive me crazy!! He won't have a last name, or hair color or something and it leaves me wondering! I'll drive myself crazy for days trying to figure out the details!

Hi whyiki, I try not to gossip, it only causes trouble for people. Having said that, I know that I do sometimes. Men can gossip as much as women and probably more. Blessings.

You are definitely not alone. My husband will do the same thing to me. He will come home and say, "So and so had their baby last night." I will ask, "What did they name the baby?" He won't know and didn't think to ask. "Well, what did they have?" He won't remember. He never gets the pertinant details.

Yea, but hubby is the same, he will say something that he heard and i'll ask more questions and he'll get frustrated saying GEEZ i already told you all i know!! i didn't give them the third degree!! lol. WELL WHY DIDN"T YOU!!!?? lol. I guess that sort of thing isnt' important to know all the details to them. *shrug* oh well.. there is one thing on the list of things we do better then them ;) *giggles*

you dont know just how wrong you are my friend i worked around only men for 22 yrs in a chemical plant and let me tell you they can gosip with the best of us!

Are you kidding me? LOL Someone needs to tell my husband this because he is the worst gossip I know. I am scared to tell him any gossip because he has a bad habit of repeating it and in the process making it sound worse than it is LOL! He's crazy and sometimes he even says to me "honey please don't tell me cos you know I won't be able to keep it inside" HAHAHA! I guess at least he's aware of how bad he is but boy, it's annoying when I want to share something juicy with him but can't because I know he'll "accidentally" say it to the totally wrong person the first chance he gets! Good discussion! x

It very much depends on the man. I know some men that can gossip circles around women, but it takes a certain TYPE of man....

Funny, but I guess you're right. Men are cut differently from women...I agree. Gossiping is not their cup of tea, save for a few who do engage in gossip as per experience. Generally, men don't go into the details of events, happenings and would rather keep their mouths shut. In fact, I agree that women are considered the 'speaker of the house' because men would rather not talk about details. I feel that when I talk to my husband about juicy bits of infos, all he does is listen, nods, shrugs, smiles, but drives me crazy because he does not ask questions nor adds anything to the converstation. It's more of a monologue actually, with me, myself doing the talking. Oh, well, I guess we women just have to accept that little detail about men, right?

Thats what everybody knows about.. that men dont gossip that much.. but wait for the mens night out.. you will be very lucky if you are not the topic in town.. They gossip more than girls usually do..

I used to think that women gossip more, however my ex partner when I was with him. Used to come home from work and complain to me that all his workmates did all day was gossip about everyone. He got so sick of hearing about everyone else's business all the time, he said they were seriously worse then woman. I know it is hard to believe. Depends what kind of workplace it is. This was in a construction yard, I think construction workers have nothing better to do all day then to gossip.

In my world the men can gossip, where I live I would even go so far as to say that they are worse than us women. My husband works in a factory and they are terrible, if he hears a bit of gossip he is on the phone, trying to find out everything. If I come home and tell him a bit of something I overheard he goes mad because I have not got all the details, so then he will go and phone his sister to see if she knows anything, hes terrible.

I'm also a guy, and just like what other's have stated, men do gossip. Sometimes, they even talk about worse things. But the only difference is, they talk about it just within their comfort zone, to the one's they trust the most. As for the case of your hubby, he must be protecting his image as a guy and would prefer to talk about it with other guys instead.. It's just a hunch, I could be wrong you know!;)
