I am completely aware that by writing this post, I run the risk of being called a male chauvinist pig. But such an interesting topic cannot be ignored now can it?
What is the one thing all of us associate women with? Talking of course. Do note that "talking" in most cases is a euphemism for gossiping! That is not to suggest that guys do not gossip. Surely they do, but think carefully, and you will realize that most often than naught, a woman is the gossip partner for a guy. You hardly find just two guys gossiping! In the case of ladies though, its an inherent talent us men can never match up to. Why do you think the makers of Gossip Girl stuck with name? Try imagining something sounding as horrifying as Gossip Guys! Sounds disgusting doesn't it?
Put two from the feminine gender together, and sparks are sure to fly. Interestingly, age doesn't seem to matter either. Two two-year olds together, and certain talks about their dolls making food, or how the pink suits the barbie more than the red are often heard. Same is the case with two teenage girls, the only difference being that the dolls in their talks are replaced by real people!
Take today for example. I was in the MRT, when I saw a group of three girls, not more than 15, talking animatedly about some guy who "can be really asshole when he is asshole, and can be really nice when he is nice"! (trust me, I have not exaggerated, this is word to word what I heard!) The funny thing was, the tone they used was reminiscent of a time in India, when I had heard two old ladies criticizing their daughter-in-laws. No wonder they say old habits die hard!
