Probably just the latter...deflates their ego if theyre ill and unable to take part in their "manly" activities..etc etc

Just my 2p on that :smile:

In reality I reckon people get ill, feel poorly and get better again.

Different people react to the flu differently, not just because of their gender. Sometimes colds and infections are much worse. Depends on your immunity, how you eat and live - some people don't get it as bad as others, and equally so some people take it much better.

This whole one sex copes better.... nah.

Hmm. Maybe not. I'm sure the average person would maybe, just maybe, feel a bit of pain.

Stereotyping sucks.

we just get worried that we won't be able to go hunting later that evening to bring back the family meal. and if we did go, we'd be weaker in combat if attacked by a pack of wolves.

Thats also valid to an extent. Our society may have changed but genetically we retain similarities to primitive humans of the cave era...anyway, enough science already :p:

Dont you just love generalisations...I dont act like im dying when i have a cold, and to be honest i have only met a few men that do.

Every man acts like they're dying if there's a chance of being nursed back to health by their gf.

If i had to fly to Spain everytime i had the flu to get nursed back to help...

i dont mean in that way, i mean in the way that wen lads get the sniffles then they're automatically dyin.
its just that every lad i know when they get poorly they claim that they get it alot worse than girls. ide just love lads 2 have periods n have 2 give birth!!!
