Thread: Telephone Television Tell-a-Woman...still true?

I think I believe the women. I'm ready to accept the possibility that we are as loose-lipped as they are (or were), or worse. I'm happy to say I'm as tight-lipped as I ever was and I always will be. I'm sorry to say I suspect loose-lipped men are probably equally as happy with themselves for reasons I can't fathom. Personally, I think the 1970's concept of women's-lib has caught on; and one of it's awful...

you make such good sense! It never fails with me...I am at a job (we move a lot so I change jobs a lot). I am doing well. So well in fact that I get promoted. I then have people that I have to wrangle into doing thier jobs or a peer who likes to play games. So I end up hating my job because honestly, I don't have what it takes to "force" someone to show up for work if they don't want to, or to have a pissing contest...

Last night my husband and I were watching a show. The lead male actor told his wife he'd killed a man. My husband said, "No, don't tell her, you don't know that she can handle it or keep quiet about it." I agreed but then asked if he would tell me. "Yes," he said, "I know you could not only handle it, you'd take it to your grave." Aww!

This is pretty much me too. (LOVE the RLS clip!) I tell all my business....but I don't tell others personal business. There is an exception to this though. I can tell my Master anything. He doesn't gossip. He doesn't tell people his business. I know that whatever I tell him.....stays with him. Quote: Originally Posted by AbiNormyl I admit that I like to gossip.

I'm an employer, rather than an employee so people don't gossip with me. When I was an employee, I was very much like Aquila1 and Master is the same. We're not gossips because 90% of the time, we're not interested in the gossip. He will talk to me occasionally about colleagues but only because I rarely meet them and would never pass on gossip if I did. If he tells me things, it's because he likes and is concerned about...

I have a very different experience. I have found men will talk more than women, provided they believe they have a sympathetic ear. We're all people. Some of us, as people, want to feel closer to other people or want to impress other people. Gender doesn't seem to play into it so much as the desire of someone to either want to express a situation of belonging or being interesting. I am certain that desire infects the best intentions...

I'm not much for gossip and never have been. In several previous workplaces I tended to be pretty much oblivious to what was going on around me - the scandal, liaisons, office politics, and hook-ups, were just not all that interesting to me. I don't function well in that dynamic, and although I can be quite perceptive of people and their behaviours, I am generally far more interested in slipping under the radar myself. When I have...

Neither my Husband nor I do much talking about our own lives... everyone comes to us with the details of ours. Every now and then, we may say something, me making an off-the-wall comment to a friend, him when the guys at work talk about their wives, but generally we're the ones doing the listening instead of the talking.

I admit that I like to gossip. I have RLS restless lips syndrome. Ok I just read that on a tshirt and wanted to use it somewhere. But, besides my tendency to gossip, if I am asked to keep a secret I keep the secret. That is the only thing to do. My husband on the other hand is tight lipped, I can barely get answers about questions I want answers for so forget a secret coming out. Abi
