Women Whine More Than Men When Sick
A new Australian research shows that women grow worse when sick as compared to men. The term 'Man flu' is used to describe a condition in males when they are sick and present their illness as a life-threatening disease.
This usually occurs when men desire more sympathy at in the name of illness and wish for their partners to chase them with tissues, painkillers and hot water bottles.
But lately the poll conducted proved that women accept exaggerating their illness condition for attention or a day off from work. Men however, create less of a fuss when ill and are stioc about it.
Women use their illness period as a 'pay back' time for being taken for granted rest of the days, says Gladeana McMahon, a consultant psychotherapist, and Fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She said: "Women tend to talk more about their feelings generally, but men it seems, appear to vocalize more when they're sick - that's where the myth around man flu originated. So it's surprising that these results show women to be the biggest complainers when it comes to colds and flu.
"Maybe it is more a case of needing more recognition for what they do and, if they can't get that on a day-to-day basis, then looking for a bit of sympathy when they're sick is a way of making up for this."
The British poll that included 2300 adults, revealed 91 per cent of women claim to feel "bad or very bad" when they have a cold, compared with only two thirds of men. The women also confessed of feeling over-emotional and very weak.
The recovery in women also took more time as compared to the men, where as fourteen percent of men went back to normal with a day or two. A quarter of women said they took eight to ten days to get back to normal.
