I can hear all you good ladies out there sighing and commenting about 'Wimpy Guys' but according to no less an authority than Harvard Medical School there are sound biological reasons why 'Man Flu' may actually be a real thing!
So there we have it girls, when your man is reduced to a pathetic, sniffing, snivelling, coughing, shivering heap of snot and paper tissues don't just roll your eyes in frustration, lavish your loving care and attention on him - help the poor guy! He's truly ill
The concept of man flu sounds like a joke or a ploy for sympathy, but men may experience the flu differently than women do.

@ThreeTeddies I can't think of any way to put this nicely. So: Men are wimps when they are sick and they do play on their illness.

Any time my husband has any illness it does seem to hit him really hard.

My husband is just as tough as they come. He'll have blood running down his arm and keeps right on working. But let him get a cold and heaven help us. Good wife that I am, I baby him back to health.

@ThreeTeddies I have to admit he really does take good care of me when I'm sick. Just not the way I do it.

@TheHorse According to the ladies yes there is a big difference! Woman flu is real whereas Man flu is just a figment of our male imagination - or so most women say!
