Strange that women always harp on about 'Man Flu' yet it is always 'Bird Flu' that is grabbing the headlines.

women carnt catch man flu

Yes! They have to lie there and be looked after for the slightest sniffle! When we are ill, they say ' you should have had what I've just had, then you would know about it!'

Don't follow your mum. Think for yourself.

Oh my God, I totally know what you mean. My boyfriend currently has the sniffles and he just keeps blowing his nose LOUDLY and so irritating-ly. On purpose. And coughing up phlegm. Ugh.

OMG, I know esactly what you mean

It so annoys me when my man gets the flu, I think he really thinks his dying LOL.
They are just big ninnys.

And when it comes to us women feel poorly, OH nO we are not aloud too feel ill are we? LOL

LOL
What is the difference between influenza and man flu?
like, are they just LYING to get sympathy?

I find it quite funny that they made up a flu...
Men *tsk*

I am experiencing this with my BF as we speak. Men are babies and crave love and attention while they are sick. Mine is happy when i buy him cold medicine and make him hot teas with honey.

men are such babies when they are sick....everything must revolve around them......

Print up the ads from the Yellow Pages for Cemetaries, and hand them over each time they annoy you.

See if that helps...

Yeah that really annoys me. My dads always got something to complain about. Always. Women tend to get on with it when they're ill, and men just moan.

My brother is quite a bit older than me, and once me and my parents had gone on holiday, and when we got back he was on the sofa using one of my mums best bath towels as a tissue!!

Men need to realize people have bigger problems and we don't want to hear them moaning all the time! I bet women have more pain than them anyway!

lol, that is so funny. of course if you're not around it it seems funny. sorry

oh my god does it you want to slap em and say o get over it you saddo!! it aint that bad

Us poor men its women that we cant trust how can any body bleed for 3 days a month and dont die

oh.....my....god! this is so funny. i've never heard of this, but i am definitely going to tell my husband about this. you finally diagnosed his chronic problem. he gets man flu. that is great....

Yes, totally!! Either you or your mum should seriously make a pot of chicken and rice soup with carrot and onion. I do this, it's a cure for everything and I gave it to the man in my life and he was back on his feet the very next day!! Man flu, it was, a flu it wasn't it was a damned cold which has never been fatal, to my knowledge?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most men become the biggest babies when they have a cold.

I get bronchitis every year I inherited it from my grandfather and like him colds/flue or even the chronic bronchitis do not stop me from getting off my backside and completing my work or even finding work to do at home

I have a job mid week and I also have a part time business on the weekends to earn extra cash (I hate the thought of claiming benefits and do not agree with people who could find a job even if it involves knocking on doors looking for window cleaning or grass cutting work its a respectable income and proves you are willing to work and are not worthy of the title "scrounger")

Edit

tried to add you to my contacts but the site wouldn't let me

Hi Emma
I won't allow colds to interfere with my life
I have taken one day sick in the last twenty years
Will you marry me?

Lol! I would tell them that they need to man up or I'll give them something to cry about. It annoys me a lot when my dad does it.
