Gossipers

Yes, men actually are gossipers too. They just wouldn't admit to it, ever. Why do you think men takes a long time to get back home if they are at the corner stall or at the watering hole. They will act as if they were discussing the important matters like current issues or the economic slowdown or things that matters. They are actually discussing about a politician marrying a particular artist. A woman in their neighbourhood who seems loose and wear scandalous clothings. All the things that women gossip but done with more plomb and gusto.

In my circle of friends, whom I rarely meet nowadays, there is this one guy who people call a public service announcer. Just tell him about anything, that particular story will reach the whole lawyer's community within days. If a judge snapped during a trial either due to lack of evidence or just because she or he was having a bad day, I could bet my short that story will make it's way in no time. And yes, lawyers gossips too. Especially in last week case when a lawyer was beaten up by a suspect who was handcuffed but managed to free himself and caused a ruckus when he attacked that particular lawyer who he thought was a politician who had just caused an uproar in Parliament due to his vocal critisicm of the current's government political party. That story was known to all within an hour or so.

Of course men will not admit that they love gossip. I for one will deny it although I am known to do it once in a while. I love watching E! just to know what is going on in Hollywood and a local TV magazine show called Melodi about the latest happenings in the entertainment industry. Once I had the chance to go to a very famous celebrity would-be husband's house. That was 3 months before the husband divorced his then wife and married the celebrity. Their relationship was already strained then. The whole of the next week, each time I met a few of my VIP client, who are mostly men, that was the story which I told them about. They loved it and keep calling me the next one month for any new gossip.

 

A group of men discussing...

So, the next time you see a discussion by a group of men at the lobby of a hotel, smoking cigar and looking all important, don't believe for one minute that their discussion will make or break a company's bottom line. It may be just about Angelina Jolie's reaction during Jennifer Aniston's presentation at the Oscar...
