men and women gossip about different things, at different times, at different levels of social comfort
men meeting other, new men for the first time might brag a bit, to qualify themselves as they guage the new bloke. bit of bravado, bit of machoism, a seedy joke with a name attached, and its over. real feelings seldom come out, and when they do, its between CLOSE confidantes, and an understanding that the convo never, ever, EVER leaves the table.
women meeting new women, on the other hand, use INTIMATE gossip or personal details to guage and bond with the new chick. seriously, its fucking scary. within 5 minutes of meeting a new girl, theyll happily chat about their partners erectile disfunction, or how they felt when they were cheated on (ie stuff that would horrify a man). when women start feeling truly comfy around each other, youll hear comments about which men theyve slept with
something else i noticed has to do with motives - if you want to know what a woman is REALLY thinking during a seemingly harmless gossip session, look at the things she has omitted/avoided during her convo. men, on the other hand, use a cover (like "hey bill, i want to shag xxxxx girl, whats her story") and are otherwise pretty straightforward
when men and women get bored and/or angry, then theyre the absolute same shit. but men are funnier, and are better storytellers.
