People (both men and women– men are the “closet” gossipers) have the tendency to gossip because:
1. We like to build our reputation as “the one in the know”
2. We’re no more than grown up children– who have to build ourselves up by taking others down.

I definitely have a problem with #1– I like to know things before others do.
