Truth be told.....
Why are men such big babies?
This is just an observation...I get into a car accident on my way home from business school one day, broke my knee cap in half and go to back to school the very next day....have a job, walking for miles on a daily basis, covering very large properties, break my leg and return just two weeks into the healing process.....if something needs to get done, i just do it, unless its physically impossible. I have a male friend, just cut his hand yesterday, doing dishes and had gotten 7 stitches...he didn't go into work (complaining of all the overtime he's missing) and stayed home in bed ...his teenage daughter also stayed home to take care of him. I text him, yesterday afternoon to see how he was doing and he got upset because i woke him while he was resting his hand and he tells me, "now I have to get up and go pick up my pain meds"...really, you have a cut on your and and its all stitched up...yes, take care of yer booboo, keep it clean but really, suck it up, buttercup and go back to work
...and then...the man that I'm seeing...when he gets a cold, oh my goodness, he thinks he's dying...he doesnt return to work until every symptom disappears and wont come see me during that same time for the same reason...he says he doesnt want to get me sick.. Oh dear, do you even realize that youre the most contagious within a few days before you even show those common cold symptoms? Men.
Cuts and wounds will heal...everyone gets them.....colds come and go, fresh air will do ya some good. Get yer butt outta bed and keep yourself motivated. Trust me, you'll live.....the world is not coming to an end.
Just a little light humor with some added truths, no need to get yer tightie whities in a bunch

Y'all women...watch this very educational vid - so you'll be able to deal effectively with this extremely serious and debilitating affliction!!

On a pain scale of 1 - 10...
Things that rate '10' - passing a kidney stone, childbirth, abscessed tooth.
Wife scoffed at the idea that an abscessed tooth could be equated to childbirth.
Then she got an abscessed tooth.
Her take on it? She'd prefer childbirth. Any day!!
While I will grant you that we do seek a lot of attention when sick or injured, what you described is not typical male behavior. Is it possible that he grew up without a father? Or maybe his mother just pampered him too much.
He went with me grocery shopping one day.. And see, i raise my kids very differently. As soon as he told me he would help me bring the groceries upstairs, i said give me a moment, ill get my son to help too....he said, but hes just a child...i looked at him crosseyed and said hes 15, he will help his mother with groceries
If women can have silly likes and dislikes, well, we can too! We choose colds to act unreasonable like women do for other things!
He came home from hospital and never filled his pain med prescription.
That was late November early December, he's up to 8 miles a day on his stationary bike now. He's 73.
Wahhh wahhh wahhh
'...the common cold.'
The very same virus that causes the 'common cold' in y'all women brings on the frightful manflu in men.
Same virus...two very different maladies.
That's why y'all have to feed us soup, rub our heads while saying 'Poor Little Bunny'...and give us complete control of the remote.
That's the only known remedy that will pull us through a debilitating case of manflu.
I get the flu, I'm bed ridden for a week. You get the flu, your normal routine probably don't change lol.
The reason why women can deal with things better than men is biological. Women have to be able to withstand child birth and some believe women have a higher tolerance for pain than men because of that.
Men may be bigger and stronger but they are not tougher. Biological truth.
