So females, how long can you keep a secret? Does it depend on how much u like the person? And has the telling of somebody's business ever affected a friendship of yours?
If you've just shared a secret with a woman, you've got 32 minutes until she tells all.
That's the findings from a study commissioned by skincare company Simple, which polled 3,000 British women, reports the Daily Mail.
No matter how personal or confidential the information, one in 10 women admitted to being unable to keep a secret, while almost half who took part said they'd often felt the need to offload their secrets to someone.
Affairs, plastic surgery and relationship problems topped the list of gossip shared, reports the Mirror.
But telling all has its consequences. One in 10 women quizzed said they'd fallen out with a friend over letting secrets slip, notes The Mirror.
"This poll clearly shows that women really struggle to keep secrets," said Simple Spokesman told the Daily Mail.

    Now that I'm older and a lot more mature, I value friendship a lot more than I did when I was younger.

    I've told secrets before, but some of them NEEDED to be told to someone. My friendships were never affected b/c the same people whose secrets I've told probably were telling my secrets, too. LOL

    I hold onto to most secrets depending on the seriousness of them but I admit, I'm not the greatest at holding it all in. I may tell someone that is not involved and doesn't know the person so there's no chance of it spreading... I don't tell other female friends ever. Only male friends cause men are good at keeping secrets. Lol.. But for females it's usually my mom or my sister when we're just talking...

    LOL, seriously! I'm friends with 2 sisters. One of them got punched in the eye by her man and didn't tell anyone but me. Welllll, I took the liberty to tell her sister b/c I felt like it was important. I think her family should know that she's being physically abused. And she's known me long enough....she knew I'd tell. *shrug*

    Meh, I've always been the one everyone would always come lay their head on and spill all their dirt, some which I really didn't care to know, especially the ones which came from strangers :l . Apparently I make people feel comfortable and quickly so once they feel at ease and know or at least feel you are trustworthy the beans come overspilling. I have secrets still stored in my head from when I was 12, I was just never a gossip queen and I can keep others secrets 'til the death. Just isn't my interest or style to the point that even if we burn bridges, your secret is still safe with me. /Meh.
