The “Man Flu” is Real, and Don’t let Anyone tell you Different
When a man complains of cold or flu symptoms, it may not be fair to dismiss his laments as simply a case of “man flu.” Men may really experience worse symptoms than women after catching a respiratory virus, a new review suggests.
“The concept of man flu, as commonly defined, is potentially unjust,” Sue wrote in the paper. “Men may not be exaggerating symptoms but have weaker immune responses to viral respiratory viruses, leading to greater morbidity and mortality than seen in women,” he said.

Well, Well, Well……….Well
Look what the cat dragged in, lets not get all up in a tilly over one study guys, obviously this has to be… You know what before we get into it let me just say this, on behalf of dudes who’ve experienced these above average deadly flu symptoms everywhere :
Gone are the days of persecution and being told:
“Your Overacting”
“Stop being such a Baby”
And the dreaded phrase:
“Get up and get your own ginger ale and soup”
I like this study because it comes full circle, not only does it validate that the male flu struggle is real but it also provides some solid advice on how to overcome the dramatic experience. Dr. Kyle Sue concludes:
“Perhaps now is the time for male-friendly spaces, equipped with enormous televisions and reclining chairs, to be set up where men can recover from the debilitating effects of man flu in safety and comfort.”
I’m pretty sure those spaces have already been created on the hunch that it was the only plausible cure but thanks for validating.
You can also just eat right and exercise, promoting a healthy immune system to fight off all viruses before they can get you sick…. but how else would you get that flat screen and recliner.
