Women talk about anything and everything. You name it... Women will reveal their insecurities.....

Women talk about anything and everything. You name it... Women will reveal their insecurities, their latest diet plan, their dreams and the list goes on. Any topic is a fair game. Two female strangers sitting next to each other on a two-hour plane ride will arrive at their destination knowing how many children each has, their marital issues, any school dilemmas, recent fashion trends and what kind of movies they love to watch.

Another popular chick topic is the blues. They will talk freely about their troubles professional or personal. They’re not afraid to discuss fears or self-doubts. On the other hand, men might not be too keen on sharing these things with one another.

Why do you think Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham was so popular among women? When the movie came out, it was like home for girls, where they could laugh at Poo’s dialogues like ‘never buy things from sale’, while some could relate to Anjali’s middle-class concerns like, ‘gamla nahi vase’.

On the other hand men tend to talk about ‘safe’ topics such as, sports, finances and work. Can you imagine two men discussing guy problems? Yeah, right. The level of disclosure is higher among women than men. This week, You! will list some of the most common topics women love to have chat about. Let’s take a look...

Passions, dreams and goals

Women desperately want someone to share and take interest in their dreams and goals. For them, it is always a nice feeling to talk about things that they are passionate about with a person who’s actually interested in listening. And here’s the cool thing. Once they build up a certain level of trust and rapport with one another, all they need to do is simply ask one another about the stuff that they aim to do or are passionate about.

Relationships/relationship problems

If there is one thing that women love more than hearing relationship stories, it is coming up with solutions to relationship problems. You will be surprised by how much women get into these topics. Maybe, it’s just that they love to keep up with each other’s relationship status but on the other hand, guys will consider it ‘interference’.

The people around them

Women find more than enough conversational bullets to last a whole day when it comes to discussing people in their surroundings. It might be regarding their friends, siblings, relatives, in-laws, uninvited guests, etcetera, etcetera. Wait, it can either be their pets or even darzis. Girls like to be vocal about what they have with these people and what annoys them when they disturb their lives.

Entertainment

Let’s say it, women just love to discuss what sort of entertainment they like. They will talk about the recent novel or a famous movie. They might also talk about a new Selena Gomez song or criticise the Hocane sisters or their clothes in one of their recent outings. Not only will this allow them to coax them into putting more conversational effort into their interaction, but it will also help them find out things that they both are into. As this is how they are.

Food

Oh yes... some girls love to shop and some are big time foodies. Not only this, but they just love to talk about it. In a conversation, they would want to share their food experiences at different restaurants. They also ask about each other’s favourite restaurants and what they love about them.

Travel

Women just love talking about travel escapades. They are enthusiastic about that exciting place they travelled to and what they loved about it. They might share their desire to disappear for an entire month without having to worry about any work or other responsibilities. These types of conversations set their imagination on fire and uplift their emotional state - with this, they start associating with each other in no time.

Gossips:

Last but not least women love gossips. They would go to any length to talk about that ‘extra marital affair of Mr X of Mrs.Y. And how unfair Mr X is with his pretty wife. They tend to keep an eye on their handsome neighbour and his extracurricular activities. And yes, they would talk about their colleague who is being extra sweet with the boss. To cut it short, women love to talk!
