In Nigeria today, it is mostly believed that girls gossip, guys discuss.
Do guys really don't gossip too?
Is it always discussion they spend their time together doing?
What can they really gossip about?
If you go to men gathering and find them talking, the question that is asked is ''What are you guys discussing?'' and not ''What are you guys gossipping?''. But in the case of ladies, it is mostly the other way round. The question is do guys discuss alone, don't they gossip, what do or can they gossip about? Your views needed male and female on NL.

Actually in my own opinion!
Both words are applicable to both genders cos we all engage in it.

The little difference i see is that guys prefer to discuss themselves rather than girls gossiping on another person's private life.

Nomski0: S, i think Both discuss, both gossip. Depends on the individual sha. Some boys like gossip, some dont.

This is 100% true. Guys discuss as in yawn. While Ladies gossip, and smh for their fellow ladies.
Dont ask me why cause i dont know why, its just natural.

Brb.

lol.. Dat doznt mk any sense

That scientific discovery might just be true coz there are a lot of talkative old women in my area(don't wanna call them gossips coz of their age)

The way I see it,what guys do is discuss rather than gossip coz when they are asked,they are willing to explain to girls or other guys while girls usually aren't ...I.e no guilty conscience bout the topic...,

Isn't gossip an act of discussion?

Well, guys gossip too, sometimes more than girls. Those their yeye beer parlour gist na gossip

Men gossip too, but not as much as women.
