Men Become Babies When Sick
It’s true. In fact, right now, Hannah and I caught the cold. She is handling it 10,000% better than I am. The occurrence of men acting like babies when sick seems to be common. Someone even wrote an article about it.
Why do men act like this? I dunno. Maybe we’re used to being babied when we’re sick. Maybe we want attention. Maybe women like taking care of men when sick, so men milk it for all it’s worth.
Although in my experience, men do cope better with injuries. But with the common cold or flu, we turn into a lump of useless carbon material.
Anyway, I’m sick now. I don’t want to write anymore. I’m going to bed, curled up in a fetal position.
This makes me want to create a graph with intersecting lines. One for how men and women handle the common cold and one for how men and women handle injuries.
I have to agree with you that dudes are more stoic when it comes to losing a finger or a limb.
Although I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but I’ll give the win on losing a finger. It would freak me out too much and the screaming would commence.
