If it’s one thing I absolutely loath, when a Female see’s a Man or has to take care of a Man that is sick, yells out:
“MAN FLU”
I had a really bad viral infection once and it damn near sent me to ER, it was something that I never want to even wish on my worst enemy. I took a few days off and when I got back to work, all the cackling c~~~s in the office immediately screamed “MAN FLU”
I’m sure you’ve heard it before from a Female:
“Men are such babies when it comes to being sick”
“I have the flu and i still work here”
“Stop being a wimp and come to work”
“It’s just a head cold you big baby”
That type of s~~~ use to drive me up the f~~~ing wall. it’s interesting to note that, Females on average call in sick more then Men. Regardless of the science, I have worked many times while being sick like a dog.
Anyways here’s the article on the of the Man Flu.
"If You have the Tooth of a Whale, You must have the Whale's Jaw to hold it". (i.e. One Must have the right qualifications for leadership) -Hawaiian Proverb
The different is, when a man phones in sick, it’s because he’s sick. When a woman phones in sick it’s because it’s her Birthday. If any woman even suggested that s~~~, I would tell her about the time I once managed a project, and a woman asked me for her Birthday off. She said I have to be really nice to her because it’s her birthWEEK. I s~~~ you not. I denied her the day off for being a baby.
“I have the flu and i still work here”
“That must be awful. Are you trying to dig yourself out of a mountain of credit card debt or something? Did you max out your credit cards to soothe your aching self-esteem on shoes to the point where your need to work when you’re not even well?”.
Women are never c~~~s to themselves.
If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.I know of a woman (c~~~) that forced her husband (my friend) out to work because she wanted a new bathroom.
She did this for a week solid … while he had man flu.
I know this because he called me and asked if I could come get him from work as he felt so weak he couldn’t drive his car home.
I took one look at him and drove to hospital.
He was having a heart attack.
No chest pain or numbness … but that what he was having.
On calling his wife ….. she says
“OMG he should have said something to me”
Like what? Darling I don’t feel at all well?
He lost his job and she fked off.
He has a dog now. Will see him this weekend for beer and laughs.
With women … it’s not man flu if you’re dead.
C~~~s
The so called “nurturing” gender – bulls~~~. I have seen more cruelty, insensitivity, indifference from women then I have ever experienced from men. Although I never served, I have buddies who told me tales from the field. About them writhing in pain, but a fellow brother was hurt on the field. They would rush to their sides – all the while completely ignoring their pain. Even a dog has that instinct. The modern day c~~~ is a self centered, media indoctrinated vapid pile of turd. The more we ignore these creatures, the less the matter to society, and more importantly, they less they matter to us men.
Says the gender who wants a man to wait on them hand and foot when they get ‘sick’. Pick up their medicine, run the bath, clean up after they make a mess in the kitchen, make them tea, etc……for a case of the sniffles.
If a guy has a 103 degree fever and/puking so much he’s losing weight, he’ll dope himself up and sleep. You know, when the body repairs itself. Not around and make a sceneover it. My ex would just sit there with that pathetic sick look on her face.
That’s the difference between our injuries and illnesses:
103 degree fever vs. the sniffles.
Crippling back injuries vs. minor muscle pulls.I had my knee scoped from a hockey injury and I was back working, construction (up on roof re-sheeting, that means crutches on rafters) but we need to ‘man up’. Try having said 103 degree fever in mid December working outside with the wind beating on you while her highness gets the sniffles and runs home and turns on the humidifier and Vics machine and calls you with a list of s~~~ to bring home because she ‘doesn’t feel well’. Sure, I’ll do it after I’m done working in bitter cold while I burn up and sleep on my breaks so I can continue working.
There is a girl at work who’s missed at least 2 months for God know what. Still not fired.
Lying f~~~ing hypocrites.
Fuck this planet.I had a brother-in-arms that finished our graduation physical tests with a broken feet. I have a friend who missed only one day of work in 5 years, because one of his parents died.
I missed some work days, but they were only a few, and involved death or military duty. In the last five years, I missed just 3 days f work, one of them was when my XW miscarried, other was due to some duties I still had with my Base and Army Corp, and the last one was when a cousin of mine died.
Never called sick, never asked for a leave… But, every woman I know had at LEAST missed a MONTH in a year calling in sick, or had a “doctor’s appointment” (yeah, hunniiiee, we all know what “appointment” you had with the doctor…) or that they had to ask for an early leave because “they had to travel to their parents home” who lived in another city (riiiight… Now your parents live in a hotel, yeah…).
And yet they still try to pass this “man flu” s~~~. F~~~ them all.
"Young was I once, I walked alone, and bewildered seemed in the way; then I found me another and rich I thought me, for man is the joy of man." Odin, Hàvamàl, stanza 47.
I hear that same s~~~ with the super pugnacious asshole charge nurse I work with. “I never call in sick” well, you also work 2 days a week with 12 hour shifts so good for f~~~ing you.
My experience with women/sickness was a little different. Back when I was married, if my ex was sick, she would whine and complain, but refused to rest. I would offer to take over completely with the kids, etc, but she would refuse. So not only was she miserable, but she made sure everyone else was miserable as well.
On the other hand, if I was sick, I would rest when I could and let her takeover. She would be as far from nurturing as possible. If I rested, she would resent me…saying that “mother’s don’t get to be sick”. If I got up and shook it off, she would tell me I was going to make the kids sick.
I learned, that it was best to just never be sick around her. Nothing good would come from it.
Ok. Then do it.
Anonymous3Everything they do is to attack and insult. They are incapable of being kind. When they see a man is sick, it’s like they know they can behave even worse because he’s too vulnerable to do anything.
Of course since I don’t live with a woman it doesn’t matter. It’s funny when women like to claim a benefit to marriage is that a woman is there to help a guy when he is sick or struggling. In my experience those are the exact moments women will attack a man the hardest or just leave.
So much for the fantasies of being taken care of by them when sick, eh?
The girl I’m banging off an on came over to bring me soup when I was sick. Massages, made tea for me, went to the store, whatever I needed. I’ve had other women do stuff like that for me too. Of course, I never MARRIED any of them, so there’s that.
Are you guys seriously telling me you’ve never had a girl do nice things for you? If that’s true, you should consider moving. I’ve found plenty that will do nice things like help you out when you’re sick. The key is, just don’t marry them or let them move in. It’s like the “job interview” stage never ends.
"Data, I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some, I'll let you know." --Captain Picard,
There are a few woman that will recognize someone, including a man, whom is sick and needs rest of comfort, and they will give it to that man.
This is where the “Florence Nightingale Effect” comes from. And that effect is very real. There are documented cases of this. But, this is so rare in the present day, because women are taught, even at a young age, to be so self-centered, that most women did not think about anyone else but themselves.
“I have the flu and i still work here”
I’m not giving trophies for this, especially because people tend to do this when they call off sick too much and have no time left. When you come to work sick, you’re not as productive and you just get other people sick. There was a time I used to come in no matter what, but then I wised up. If I start feeling sick I call a day off, eat well and get some rest. Since I’ve started doing this there isn’t a single time I haven’t shaken it off in 2-3 days. People who come in sick, STAY SICK for like 2-3 weeks.
You know what I say when someone takes off a day because they’re sick? Not a damn thing. I don’t give a s~~~, and don’t feel the need to deride and shame people for time they’re entitled to.
Price is what you pay, value is what you get. -- Ben Graham
Women cannot be kind to anyone who is sick or hurt because it draws the attention and drama away from them and onto someone else. This makes them feel less validated and important. It doesn’t matter why they got replaced as the ‘center of the universe” they just know that they aren’t the top priority and they can’t let that continue for very long.
When men are truly sick or hurt, they will do whatever they can to recover as fast as they can because we feel ashamed that someone has to help us and our loved ones may have to work harder because of our condition. Not so with the ladies. They LOVE the extra attention, sympathy and compassion that people show them. They don’t care how much extra work and effort everyone around them is absorbing. When I was married I was in a bad accident where I was non-weight-bearing for 12 weeks. Once out of the hospital I was pretty mobile in my wheelchair and could do a lot without any help. After the 6th week I was able to stand during a check up with my surgeon and from that point on I didn’t care how much discomfort I was in. I finally felt that my condition wasn’t inhibiting anybody else anymore. Wanna know what my then wife said? She said, “If it was me, I would’ve stayed in bed for the full 12 weeks” and was serious.Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.
The girl I’m banging off an on came over to bring me soup when I was sick. Massages, made tea for me, went to the store, whatever I needed. I’ve had other women do stuff like that for me too.
I’ve had several women do that for me too, BUT it wasn’t because they were selfless/caring, it was so “I would owe them”.
They used it as leverage/guilt in an attempt to get their way.
“You HAVE to spend the entire weekend with me, I took care of you when you were sick!”
“I don’t cook for just anyone, you should appreciate that I did for you.”
“You have to go the store and get 1% milk because I don’t like 2% milk.”In response to the last one, I poured 2% into a glass half way, filled the rest with water, and handed it to her.

They can suck my dick.
Are you guys seriously telling me you’ve never had a girl do nice things for you? If that’s true, you should consider moving. I’ve found plenty that will do nice things like help you out when you’re sick. The key is, just don’t marry them or let them move in. It’s like the “job interview” stage never ends.
That’s because when they’re in courting mode, they are lovely, have sex, are pleasant, and all of that good stuff.
This is called ‘dating’. They can be quite nice when they’re dating.
When one is living with them, in a relationship, is when everything starts going to hell fast.
My ex-of-seven-years, who I thank all that is holy I did not marry (she cleaned me out anyway, but no alimony), was quite loving and sweet when we were dating. If I was sweet, she was lovey dovey, all that. Then we moved in together, and my world ended. Kabooms! Kabangs! I was in a head-on collision at speed. Totalled the car. Combined speed about eighty or ninety. Straightboard, neck brace, and a big city hospital competent but also overloaded because weekend. The Army trained me, once upon a when, as an EMT, so I’m happy as a clam that I can wiggle my toes and that I feel basically ok. Feels like cracked ribs, which it was, and some internal bruising, which it also was. But I’m alive. Yay.
My ex-of-seven-years shows up and is hysterically upset. We stick around until I’m triaged in, all the exams and whatnot. Basically ok. Cracked ribs, one broken. Possible spinal trauma, cracking. Not fun. We get home at 5am or so.
I wake up -alone-. First day out. Literally crawl to the bathroom, as I cannot stand up. Have to rest on the floor. Cannot find pain meds. Call her, no answer. Basically go back to sleep, pass out. No clue where she is.
She shows up after work. No -note-, even. No calls.
Years later I realize that the drama was to her benefit; I wasn’t particularly involved.
I’m in bed for weeks. Care is minimal. Years later, I still sometimes walk with a limp from sciatica, spinal damage, never quite recovered. Possibly avoidable had I not been walking and f~~~ing cooking with broken ribs front and back from day one after said accident.
Had I had the sense that nature gave a cat, I would have ditched at this point and gone inpatient until I could walk. Instead I stuck the entire relationship out for two more years until she cheated on me – first with her female best friend, a dyke shrink so good at alcohol and drug counseling that she was an active heroin addict. Stupid me.
The courting period was lovely, however. A shame I didn’t total my car and spine while we were courting.
There may well be Florence Nightengales who have survived the culture still out there. Basic economic theory states that they are all married and unavailable. NAGALT . . . Not All Grenades Are Like That. But it’s not worth pulling pins to hope you find that happy unicorn grenade.

Dude, I got stuck in Vermont for a week! Not that my car got stuck, I couldn’t do anything without s~~~ting and puking constantly! It got so bad, the brief times I was outside I just pulled down my pants and s~~~, plus cold sweats, a fever, and finally dehydration set in. That was the sickest I ever got! I was weak for a month, and it took over 6 months before I returned to normal. The only time I can remember s~~~ting, puking, and p~~~ing all at the same time! I should have gone to the ER, but I was too sick!
Next time I get sick, I’ll have to phone myself, and tell myself I’m not coming in today……..
Absolutely Keymaster!
Had a similar thing happen to me as well at my old office.
Nail on the f~~~ing head Brother!, Females are anything BUT nurturing, i’ve stated before on how they lack any nurturing skill whatsoever. There have been many Females who couldn’t stand to hear how my day was because it sounded “like a baby” or “you need to man up”, “you sound like a f~~ right now”. When in reality, they were the ones asking me how my day was!. I knew then and there, Females were not the nurturing type.
I worked in construction for awhile and that is one profession that opened my eyes to where “equality” line is drawn, hardly had one female worked for my old company, it was all Men. Mad props to you for working in those types of condition during December!, holy s~~~!.
Great replies Gentlemen glad everyone has similar stories as well.

My mother is/was an RN (registered nurse) who worked at a hospital and pushed us out into the winter cold to go to school when we had a cold. We stayed home with a fever, but we didn’t get any baby empathy. Later , she ALWAYS said….. “men don’t go to the doctor often enough”.
One day I called her out on it. I said “MOM!!!! You don’t get to say that. You pushed us out the door when we were sick. You didn’t coddle us when we had a nasty fall. You didn’t show any empathy. You virtually TRAINED US to not be babies over any headache or complain over a boo-boo.”
To this day, I don’t even pop an aspirin. I drink a litre of water and take a nap when I have a headache.
Then one day my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly after, they were out walking and she felt his arm was weak and lifeless. He never said anything, and he was dead the next morning.
“Men are such babies when they are sick”.
“You can go straight to hell. Women are f~~~ing babies every day of their lives”.
