Surprise - Women cannot keep secrets.

Why do researchers alway come up with the obvious ????

Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip as soon as they hear it.

They will typically spill the beans to at least one other person in 47 hours and 15 minutes.

The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret – no matter how personal or confidential the news was.

It also found that alcohol usually gives us a helping hand to blurt out secrets – with more than half admitting a glass or two of wine could prompt them to dish the dirt.

Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, which commissioned the research to mark Chile's National Day on Friday, said: "It's official – women can't keep secrets.

"No matter how precious the piece of information, it's often out in the public domain within 48 hours.

From where do they get funding for this kind of research. Ofcourse women can't keep a secret.

Women can keep their ex-bfs and relations secret.

How valid is the concept "Women cannot keep secrets".

I totally disagree with the thread.... there are many women in this world who can keep secrets and valuable piece of information to themselves for ages... and "women can't keep secrets" - That's a dubious statement!

brit, researchers always come up with the obvious, but they support it with numbers. Everybody "knew" it before, now it is "scientifically" proven! (That's the definition of science).
