How hard it is for woman to keep counsel!

I am a Chinese male. Based on my association with women for years, I reached a conclusion: it is amazingly hard for women to keep secret. The British literary master Shakespeare once said that " how hard it is for woman to keep counsel! I am totally convinced. Sigh, gossiping might be women's inborn hobby. Whenever you told something confidential to a woman, the consequences are usually that one or two days later it would become an open secret. While, broadly, men are able to hide the secret in their heart. You told your fella a secret, the secret remains a secret several years later.

How hard it is for woman to keep counsel!--William Shakespeare

Shakespeare is wise, and he understood women well.

That is because women are more open-hearted, innocent and straightforward. Men are more sophisticated and hypocritical than women.

Some men and women can keep secrets. Some men and women cannot keep secrets.

Personally, I think men who don’t brag about their conquests and those who don’t generalize women because he’s had a broken heart or two are really classy. ^_^

Oh, Shesgottobe, do you really think these guys are classy? I am puzzled. " Broken heart"?

Hmm… how to explain… for example, you’ve had a jerk for a boyfriend in the past and got broken hearted, that should not make you bitter and conclude that all men are the same. This is somehow the same as the lotus flower analogy. The lotus flower rises above the water and doesn’t let impurities touch it. In the same way, classy people rise above it and do not let bitterness eat them from inside out. They do not let their bad experiences destroy their values and their being.

It’s just my personal opinion. ^_^

"Hehehe" Shesgottobe, I can understand you analogy. The Chinese version of the " lotus flower analogy" goes like this:" 出淤泥而不染". So you are one of lotus flowers. LOL! ^_^
