Women's gossip

Women spend 5 hours per day gossiping, says survey
 
THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK - The average woman spends around five hours gossiping every day, the Daily Mail reported, citing a study.

Women natter for around 298 minutes every day - the equivalent of more than one third of their waking hours, it said.

The survey was commissioned to mark FirstCape Cafi Collection's search to find Britain's Queen of Chat.

Discussing other people's problems, who is dating who and other people's children form the basis of most of the conversation.

Other subjects that come up most regularly include sex, shopping and the soaps such as Eastenders or Coronation Street.

The report also found women spend 24 minutes a day discussing their weight, diets and dress size.

And one third of women say they spend a chunk of their day discussing what they are eating for lunch, while one quarter regularly exchange recipes.
