Discussing other people's problems, who's dating who and other people's children form the basis of most chats. Other topics most regularly include sex, shopping and soaps, Daily Express reported the study as stating.
The study found women spend 24 minutes a day discussing their weight, diets and dress size. One third said they spend a part of their day discussing what they are eating for lunch, while a quarter regularly exchange recipes.
The survey was commissioned to mark wine firm FirstCape Cafe Collection's search to find Britain's Queen of Chat.
Spokesman Steve Barton said: "Women are renowned for their ability to chat and men are fascinated by what they find to talk about when they get together.
"I'm pleased to see complaining about their partners was at the bottom of their list, though. It is also interesting to see how the conversation differs between women talking to each other and women talking to their partners."
