Research Determines Women Can Keep a Secret For 47 Hours

Posted by samzenpus on from the misogynistic-research dept.

A study of 3,000 women aged 18-65 has found that the average woman cannot keep a secret for longer than 47 hours. The study also found that four out of ten admitted that they were unable to keep a secret, no matter how personal or private. Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, which commissioned the research, said, "It's official - women can't keep secrets. We were really keen to find out with this survey how many secrets people are told. What we didn't bank on was how quickly these are passed on by those we confide in. No matter how precious the piece of information, it's often out in the public domain within 48 hours."

      Agree. If I manage to keep a secret for more than 48hours is because I forgot about the secret itself...

    If everyone is doing a thing, it is not immoral, it is natural, like Pirate Bay.

    Everyone knows that women can't keep secrets for any longer than 47 seconds, let alone 47 hours...
