A study conducted by scientists from the University of Ottawa, showed that women love to gossip, subconsciously believing that this way they can discover the secrets of attractiveness and interest more men, writes The Daily Mail.

When women come together, the conversation often turns into one big gossip - a known fact. The study involved about 290 heterosexual students aged 17-30 years who filled out three questionnaires about their inclinations toward gossip. The results showed that people who were considered competitive in terms of attractiveness among their gender (in other words, girls who were considered to be competitors by other girls) had a greater tendency to gossip and felt better in the process of discussing friends and acquaintances.

In general, women (which is not a secret) were more inclined to gossip and enjoyed the process more than men. Men more often discussed the achievements of other men, while women focused on the external qualities of other people. It was also found that the tendency to gossip increased the social demand for women, because it allowed them to gather more information and use it to their advantage in finding a partner.

Curiously, the female brain produces the hormone oxytocin after gossip. Oxytocin is responsible for intimacy with other people, for a feeling of pleasure, peace and warmth. This same hormone is actively synthesized in lovers and in nursing mothers. Looks like gossip is not so bad!
