Now, after many researches have revealed that men gossip just as much as women do, a research made at the Department of Media and Communication of the University of Leicester by Dr. Charlotte De Backer has also proved the reasons behind it as well as a pattern of this habit.

Women were found to gossip on other women more than men did, and the physical aspect was the main issue of their gossip, while men gossiped more about women than about men, and in this case it was also about the looks. For men and women alike, when it came to the gossip on men, wealth status was the main topic of interest.
