The myth of Man Flu. We have all experienced the phenomena of a man getting sick with some measly cold, little indigestion or a headache and exaggerating the symptoms so much, that we start to worry if they are on their death bed. Though men really do like being taken care of (hence lying in bed for a week in a recovery of the common cold), it has recently been scientifically proven, that some diseases do get men sicker than women. It all just has to do with women having superior immune systems that are not so easily affected by viruses. Now, we don't want to ruin the fun of mocking the ever-so-strong male getting bed-bound by a runny nose, so we've compiled the absolute best of the manfluenza cases below.
And while boyfriends and husbands might say that they are suffering the pains of childbirth times ten when having a man cold, their partners tend to look and their cries for help in a rather unsympathetic way. Probably because us ladies, when hit by flu, still manage to go to work, take care of the children and the 'dying' husbands. Actually, their whining gives us a good chance for a funny meme or two.
Below you'll find a list of the best bed-bound husband memes, slowly dying and greatly suffering boyfriend memes and men memes of heroes who have survived the manfluenza.

I once was recovering from an open (bones sticking out) compound (more than one) , surgically repaired (second of six) ankle break that had required a bone transplant to repair. I was under Dr. Orders to only use my crutches to get to the bathroom and away from fire or flood. My fella had a upset tummy, (heartburn) and asked " could you please go to the refrigerator and get me a gingerale?" I looked at him, waiting for it to sink in, and after a minute, I bopped him on the head with my crutch.

I must have found the only man alive who is the exact opposite. Migraine? Eh, just pop a painkiller and go to work. Vomited? Meh, my desk at work is close to the toilets. Diarrhoea? See the previous point. Fever? Pfff, I'll just drink a bit more water. Honestly, I have to make him stay home from work when he's really ill. And even then I have to remind him he can't go to the shop.

I feel the reason we act like were dying while women have it "easier" is pain thresh hold, I firmly believe women have a higher one then males, first there periods, those come with cramps {i am a guy raised by girls so I know but at the same time dont} that is way-way more painful than a normal {like poop cramp} {sorry if im wrong only heard of this} there's pain from growing there brests and even childbirth when there older while us men we may deal with scraps and cuts, none of this effect the inner works until the cold/flu, then it hurts badly, while women have been dealing with inner pain for most of their lives, men haven't and it takes us down mostly by surprise since we see women not suffering much from flu/colds there's also the case of men also are and Have to be seen as the tough guy {even us gay girly type have to be seen like that } and will fight it till it get too bad to fight anymore, and most like the care that shown too at that point {mothers love thoughts}

It is a good point and it all makes sense, but it's still not okay that a woman is expected to work sick during her man being healthy, but when the opposite situation happens, he's bed ridden and she still has to work. I mean, sure not all couples are like this, but that's what I see in these posts in this article.

Bad timing for this post...in Australia anyway. It's been a horror flu season, with most of the east coast dealing with a flu epidemic. It recently claimed the life of a young man who had not long become a father, as well as an 8 year old girl, and 8 members of an aged care facility; hospitals are cancelling elective surgery to make room for the extra flu and pneumonia patients. Just recently we've been told not to brush off "man flu" as it might legitimately be a medical emergency.

My female friend (in her forties) complained about her fever the fifth week in a row, and couldn't go anywhere. She didn't have pains or other symptoms, but her mother was shopping groceries for her, because of her terrible fever; ME: "How high is your temperature anyway?" HER: "Oh, my temperature is normal" ME: "Then you don't have a fever." HER: "But it FEELS like I have a fever!" (Her mum has vowed never to shop for her again). - Meanwhile, my brother-in-law worked for two and a half days on his farm with an arm that was hurting after he had fallen off the garage roof. My sister kept insisting he should have it looked at. He wouldn't. It would heal itself. Until that is, the vet told him he had to have it looked at because it was broken. It turned out, the hand was broken too.

First of all, I think women are just having fun with this, and that's ok. That said, I think men are encouraged by society to act invincible and not show vulnerability. Many men grew up with the pressure that it isn't ok to cry. Men generalkt feign strength and confidence because that is what they are expected to do. Suddenly we see a man (husband/father) who is ill, and quite understandly not pretending to be invincible, and it doesn't fit the picture that they try to project on a daily basis. I have had man colds, but my wife and previously girlfriends have really milked it when they are ill, so I don't buy this idea that women somehow muscle through more than men do. People get sick, we just aren't used to seeing men act vulnerable. And who doesn't want to be comforted when they are sick?

Yep. In our house, if I'm sick (anything short of vomiting) I still do all the tasks I do normally, up at the usual time, make breakfast, school lunch, get my kid to school, laundry, cooking etc. If my husband has anything more than a mild cold he takes the day off work and stays in bed. He has the advantage that if he takes a day off from his work, it won't make much difference, but if I stopped doing my jobs at home, my child wouldn't eat.

The weird thing is that so many men make a huge fuss about a cold, but actually don't go to the doctor when they really should. They usually don't go to precautionary exams either. And then - on average - they die much earlier than the average woman.

I do the grocery shopping, the cooking, I take out the trash and I wash and put away my own clothes. I'm also a ham radio operator and provided national and regional communications during hurricane Irma. I also pay all the bills, keep all house related activities on my computer and keep all of them updated and secure. When I get sick, my wife wears dirty clothes to McDonald's to keep from starving to death. I also clean up my own dribble and put the seat down with being asked. When my wife runs out of toilet paper she smells bad until she takes a shower. That is if she can find the soap because I take care of that too.

Here's the, now scientifically confirmed, lowdown on 'man flu'... Androgens compromise (significantly reduce) the T-cell group of white blood cells. It takes males about twice as long as females to BEGIN fighting off viruses and bacteria (meaning, they get a firmer foothold); and when the immune system FINALLY cottons on, late to the party, it overreacts, worsening the symptoms of the illness (because it is the immune response to illness that induces symptoms in the first place. The stronger it reacts, the worse the symptoms get). It's really not a joke. You women actually DO have a much easier time of it when ill than we men do. Be nice to us, we can't help it.

Guess it depends on the man. My dad never stays home from work even when he gets sick. When he is sick you can't even really tell because he doesn't complain. My boyfriend is the same, he doesn't complain when he's sick. He just lets me know that he is sick so I'm not confused as to why he's being a bit different. My ex on the other hand was very similar to these posts. When I was sick I still had to go to work and do all of the house work and cook dinner (because he barely did anything, ever, even when not sick). Someone had to pay the bills lol

Ah, Bored Panda. The two things we can always count on you for are cute animals and male bashing - cunningly disguised as humor or artistic creativity. With a dash of misinformation to add spice to the mix. It's estrogen (in women) that has scientifically proven antiviral activity, not testosterone in men or men being humorless wimps that make our flu worse. So far the cute animal posts are winning for me, but if the male bashing gets too intense, it will be delete app time.

The weird thing is that so many men make a huge fuss about a cold, but actually don't go to the doctor when they really should. They usually don't go to precautionary exams either. And then - on average - they die much earlier than the average woman.

I do the grocery shopping, the cooking, I take out the trash and I wash and put away my own clothes. I'm also a ham radio operator and provided national and regional communications during hurricane Irma. I also pay all the bills, keep all house related activities on my computer and keep all of them updated and secure. When I get sick, my wife wears dirty clothes to McDonald's to keep from starving to death. I also clean up my own dribble and put the seat down with being asked. When my wife runs out of toilet paper she smells bad until she takes a shower. That is if she can find the soap because I take care of that too.

Here's the, now scientifically confirmed, lowdown on 'man flu'... Androgens compromise (significantly reduce) the T-cell group of white blood cells. It takes males about twice as long as females to BEGIN fighting off viruses and bacteria (meaning, they get a firmer foothold); and when the immune system FINALLY cottons on, late to the party, it overreacts, worsening the symptoms of the illness (because it is the immune response to illness that induces symptoms in the first place. The stronger it reacts, the worse the symptoms get). It's really not a joke. You women actually DO have a much easier time of it when ill than we men do. Be nice to us, we can't help it.

I don't get it. If I catch a cold, okay, drink lots of warm water, rest, no big deal. Same for all my male friends. Is this a modern American thing?

Guess it depends on the man. My dad never stays home from work even when he gets sick. When he is sick you can't even really tell because he doesn't complain. My boyfriend is the same, he doesn't complain when he's sick. He just lets me know that he is sick so I'm not confused as to why he's being a bit different. My ex on the other hand was very similar to these posts. When I was sick I still had to go to work and do all of the house work and cook dinner (because he barely did anything, ever, even when not sick). Someone had to pay the bills lol

First my husband is rarely sick. Second when he is he soldiers in like a man and never complains.

As a kid, I dreaded staying home sick while Dad was in charge. Mom was all "take your meds, eat your soup, take a nap, I'll check in a few hours." Dad was checking on me CONSTANTLY. Offering food I couldn't stomach, meds I didn't need, tv I didn't want. "What can I do for you, sweetheart?" How about leave me alone, don't talk to me for 3 hours?!

It's actually been scientifically proven that men get more severe strains of things like a cold and the flu than women.

Remember, these sorts of generalizations or light hearted humor at women's expense are sexist, misogynistic, and only horrible people find them acceptable. Men may not handle a cold well, but at least we can take a joke.

Can we? Everyone in this comment section that's pissed off is a man. Is it so f*****g hard to laugh at something as light hearted as being wimpy while sick?

Nope, not a generalization. The entire "movement" is just a bunch of pissed off little men who hate women because one women broke their heart that one time. Or they like to use pickup lines like "hey b***h wanna f**k?" then get upset that they get turned down. MGTOW is an embarrassment to all men. To pretend like it's EVERY SINGLE WOMAN in the world and not the tiny group of men who claim to be MGTOW is truly ridiculous. Nobody takes you people seriously.

I had a bad cold this week, still worked 10 hours a day taking care of a house full of daycare kids. Husband got the same cold and took 2 days off work. While he laid in bed dying he told me to feel his head... had to say "You're just sweaty, that isn't a fever." When he couldn't sleep he said to me "I'm glad you're still sick too." Thanks dearest.

I had double pneumonia and I still cooked Christmas dinner. My husband came home from work early 6 weeks later with the sniffles. He has never left work early before, so I was caught off guard. He told me how horrible he felt and he turned around and went to bed. I seriously lost my cool. I made sure he knew just what he had done. To this day, he has not complained about having a cold again. They can be taught ladies!

There's tons of female nurses in hospitals, risking virus and bacteria infections from their patients and having to witness real life gore and literally having sh*tty jobs by cleaning poop from bed ridden patients. And that's just one example. Please, let's not diminish each other's work and roles, it's all important and valuable.

Ah, Bored Panda. The two things we can always count on you for are cute animals and male bashing - cunningly disguised as humor or artistic creativity. With a dash of misinformation to add spice to the mix. It's estrogen (in women) that has scientifically proven antiviral activity, not testosterone in men or men being humorless wimps that make our flu worse. So far the cute animal posts are winning for me, but if the male bashing gets too intense, it will be delete app time.
Dave Roger 7 years ago
It's not male bashing. It's a joke about how some males act while sick. It's truly nothing to be upset at.

As everyone knows, it is always women who are whining about having headaches, backaches, and anything else they can moan about.

Of course not all men are like this! Nobody ever said they were.

Maybe you should have tried phrasing it as a genuine question then, rather than starting out with name calling. Just an idea....
