Do you get this ladies? You suffer a common cold, and you really suffer, yet you are still operating as usual, albeit with a pocketful of tissues and cold remedies keeping you afloat… and there is no one there saying go, rest, I’ll do that… you might get a pack of paracetamol given to you, but not much more!
Same cold, different species person, aka the male… and it becomes flu, they are dying, they cant even reach the table next to them, to pick up a tissue… every cold medication is out on the counter, as they need to show how ill they are, and how many drugs are needed to get better… Read more about my take on
REALLY??!! C’mon blokes! Sort it out!
With that, and a sniffly nose, I bid you all a wonderful Monday Peeps! Enjoy!

Men become more ill than women. Women have a stronger immune system than men. So YES it is true that men become more ill than women.
We are the stronger sex.
