Author Topic: Men or Women... who are worse to be with when they're sick? (Read 5837 times)

I believe men are worse. Women usually just quietly suffer and as long as there's a couch, a blanket, and Showcase Diva, you normally don't hear a word. They'll eat whatever disaster on a plate is served to them, apologize profusely when you have to make a cup of tea for them, and lie in a haze until better days show up.

Men on the other hand play it for all they can... these are only a few of the things I've heard with my own ears.

M: Juuuuuuice... where's my juuuuuuice? This has PULP in it. I can't drink juice with PULP...
W: But you love the pulp.
M: My throat is sore. It hurts going down. You have to go to the store and get juice with no pulp.

M (on phone): I'm burning up. You need to come home now. This isn't a normal cold. I think I have yellow fever.
W: Maybe it's Meningitis.
M: Oh my god, do you think so? Isn't that fatal?
W: Or, could be flesh eating disease...
M: What if I caught Sars on that stopover in Toronto?
W: That was, like, years ago...

Man over a two hour period:
Can you bring me: chicken soup, ice cream, ginger ale with no ice, raspberry smoothie, tea with honey, kleenex, magazine, another pillow, tylenol, take my temperature, diet coke with ice, chap stick, cough syrup, cherry halls, ipod...

ROFLMAO.

I normally lay on the couch watch tv and shut up. However you'll be lucky to get anything over two syllables out of my mouth. it is usually "uhuh" or nuhuh"

Depends but I think its equale. I like to be left alone and in a cool quite space watching tv and the wife likes to work harder and pretend she's not sick but then get testy with me until I say either lay down and get some rest or crawl down off my back..ahhh love..

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's been my experience that men are pretty difficult when they are ill.

I'm like AS though, I want to be left alone.

And as for eating, when I'm really sick I can usually only eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cookies and those are about the only things my hubby can make anyway.

PS (storebought cookies $:-\$ ).

Lol, cause it's universal... I swear it's imprinted like code in their genetic make up.

It is funny though, most of the time.

bs...it's the other way around.

I never ask nothing from no one & never get sick.

Yes, but you're your own breed of man.

ditto. i never get sick either.

and although this will get me in trouble (and which is one of the main reasons i've learned not to become ill)

I think women are worse to be with then they're ill.

sorry
xxxxx

Usually sick sex is even more efficient. It's like a miracle cure.

Only the catch 22 is, no one's really very appealing when they're sick. The "Camille on the day bed" image is a myth. $:-\$

nothing some vicks vapor rub and dim lighting can't take care of

Deedee · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2006, 04:15:11 PM »

Well I guess the dim lighting helps with the matted down bed hair, unfocussed, glassy eyes, runny nose look...

yup and since your already messy..nevermind

That's because you're hangin' with "metrosexuals", no? I've climbed mountains, and the more pain, the more discomfort, the more danger I experience, the more I feel alive.

(I will see if this post will get deleted, because in no way It's my intention to ridicule any "Girl Discussions", I'm just being honest.)

Hi freespirit, if your posts have been deleted before it could be because you are not an "approved poster" for this board. Please read the first post in the sticky thread "If you would like to be able to post on this board" and let us know if you will abide by the rules. If so, you will be "approved"
