Man flu 'not a myth' say scientists

Women laugh about "man flu" but the condition is no myth, scientists have learned.

A study found work stress increased the likelihood of men - but not women - complaining of sore throats and sniffles.

One explanation given for the finding was that men tended to "overrate" the severity of cold and flu symptoms. Women, on the other hand, were more likely to adopt a "stoical" attitude and soldier on in silence.

I think it would be a great idea for women to have man flu as well, it would stop probably at least 50% of infections and probably more…

At the moment, Boots are running an advert taking the piss cos a guy is in bed with a cold. The women are out shopping and they have coughs and sneezes going on, spreading it to everyone they come into contact with and those that touch surfaces after they have left.

One is taking her kids swimming and is going to give it to other kids and the other is doing a presentation the next day so it will be rife in the company!!

Now, you tell me who is the responsible one, the guy who stays in bed and doesn't spread it about or the women who are martyrs to the cause and spread germs around to all and sundry? Just think, if women got man flu too, perhaps germs wouldn’t spread so much!

Anyhoo… I have to go now and I can’t be contacted for any reason for the next few years….

When a man has a cold, he will go to bed and his poor better half will pander to his every need.

If a woman went to bed with a cold, she would have to make her own hot drinks, make meals, etc etc etc,cos thats her job (well according to her man)

Can I join you when I run away

My point is...it's ridiculous to suggest that there are universal characteristics that can be attributed to everyone based only on gender.

I've got flu at the moment. It is a misery.

To anyone else who has it best stay away from work, wrap up under a quilt, make sure you eat well, sleep a lot an get better soon.

We all care for loved ones when they are ill, nowt wrong with that.

Flu is awful. I was always told if you had flu there could be a fifty pound not on the bedroom floor and you wouldn't give a damn and it's true.

My post above was very tongue in cheek, seems as some people have no sense of humour, shame it wasn't taken in the same light hearted way as the posting of the person following the OP was

I think alot of men Will take to their beds when they have man flu and couldnt.possibly still having to get their own medicine and cold water and everthing else they may need.

I dont think many of men.would be worried that unless they do put the washing on even tho they have man flu that the kids wont have any fresh school uniform for tomorrow or their swim kit together.

Basically a large amount of men Will only think of themselves when in bed feeling unwell. A large amount of women Will still be trying to carry on with the other stuff that still needs to be done.

I think it is to do with the ability to carry on with it. If men had babies for example they would need to have a week alone in bed with no responsibility or to still have to care for the baby.

Women are.different and still get on with it in my experience and after talking to other ladies.

After having my youngest an the night after we got back from hospital i had had so little sleep and the husband at the time. My cousin came to take our new baby and my oldest child to the swings allowing us to have a sleep. He droppest off to sleep within mins and i laid there trying to mothercare thinly of the washing that needed to be done.etc. When everyone arrived back i heard rhen door alarm go off and woke.up and the ex up too. I laid there trying to get my eyes open and soon realised that my husband Wasnt rushing to go greet the kids.to allow me a.bit.more sleep but was only focused.on himself so i got up after having a quater of the sleep he got.

By the way he iant the ex husband now lol.

but yes in my experience more men Will only think of themselves when ill and women dont do that.

I have woman flu at the moment, it's like man flu except when you have woman flu you can still manage to shop, cook, wash up, hoover......

As opposed to man flu where you are confined to the couch, expect people to slave after you, and moan about your 'condition' all day long.

Master did have man flu recently.. I begged him to stay in bed, I pleaded with him to let me look after him..

But he couldnt, as the peasents would have had a revolt at work.. So he went in every day.. and even had time to set me my Tasks..

But yes Man flu does exsist.. its to do with mens recovery system.

I would happily go to bed if I had flu..and if Master wasnt at work I know I would be sent there.. as its not in his interest to have me sick for longer.
