Women can keep a secret only for two days

According to a researcher made by scientists from British, women can keep a secret only 47 hours and 15 minutes.The research shows that a major proportion of the study participants shared the secret to another person in less than 5 hours.

The research was made on a representative sample composed from 3000 women with ages between 18 and 65. 40% of participants could not keep even embarrassing information about a very close person.

More than 50% admitted that alcohol makes them more vulnerable to propagate the secret to others; friends, wives or parents are first informed. According to the study, a woman hears directly three secret in a week, which places further on at least one other person.

so not true.
yes, i admit, i've told my best friends things about myself i consider secrets... and i do hope they keep them a secret (although most of the time they don't)
but if it's not my secret to tell, and the other person tells me they don't want it told, i never tell it. EVER!!! I'd think super poorly of myself if i betrayed a friends trust like that.
