It’s really not in them to keep secrets, the women folk. Has it ever crossed your mind how long a woman can actually hold on to a secret? Well, here’s your answer: it will take her about 47 hours and 15 minutes before she starts dishing the dirt. This is according to a study commissioned by UK Director of Wines of Chile, Mr. Michael Cox.
The study involved 3,000 women between the ages of 18 and 65 and it established that four out of every ten were unable to keep a secret, regardless of the gravity of the news. Over half of them did heap the blame on the alcohol saying it could prompt them to spill the beans. The initial gossip recipients are most likely to be husbands, boyfriends, mothers and best friends.
Two-thirds did admit feeling guilty after sharing the breaking news, and three-quarters claimed that they can keep their mouths shut, with a whopping 83% thinking of themselves as the trustworthy type. But these are just claims and you shouldn’t take them seriously. Top of the secret-keeping contenders are intimate matters, true cost of purchases and of course, the sizzling hot topic – affairs!
