Addicted- 1.physically dependent on a particular substance. 2 devoted to a particular interest or activity.

Even though a lot of women do buy these mags I think it's unfair to use the word 'addicted' for all the people who do buy them.

lol

Beanie, I don't think it's meant that literally

it's a bit of fun

is the Charlotte woman the same woman who does stuff about primates? If so it's highly likely she's worked with my second cousin, he wrote a book called 'gossip grooming and the Evolution of Language'.

I should ask him about it

"By nature, humans are chatterers, says psychologist Robin Dunbar, PhD, a University of Liverpool psychology professor and author of the book, "Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language" (Harvard University Press, 1998). He suggests that gossip is the human version of social grooming?a behavior common among other social primates in which one ape or monkey strokes the fur and picks fleas and ticks from the coat of another ape or monkey to strengthen group ties. Like social grooming, which helps other primates form alliances based on codependence, gossip helps humans develop trusting relationships and foster social bonds.

Without that instinct to share the latest on a friend, peer or family member, there would be no sophisticated society, Dunbar claims, suggesting that societies depend on the individual's ability to rely on others and understand something of the workings of another's mind.

To put his ideas to the test, Dunbar conducted a number of observational studies of the content of people's conversations in public places, such as shopping malls, in an article published in Human Nature (Vol. 8, No. 3, pages 231?246). The observers classified conversations according to such broad categories as politics, sports, technical information and social exchanges. The social category covered anything that involved explicitly social activities, personal relationships and personal likes and dislikes. Repeating the study in numerous locations, Dunbar consistently found that social topics, which he broadly defines as gossip, account for nearly 65 percent of speaking time, with little variation due to age or gender."

No. Are you thinking of Sarah Blaffer Hrdy? Charlotte's all about evolution and communication, especially gossip. Her doctorate thesis is 'Like Belgian Chocolate
for the Universal Mind: Interpersonal and Media Gossip from an Evolutionary Perspective' here www.ethesis.net/gossip/gossip_contence.htm

Is your cousin Robin Dunbar? I have a few text books by him.

he's my dad's first cousin so I think that makes him my second cousin. His mum was my granny's sister .

He's your first cousin once removed.
