Phinperorluxury_boxOPWOMEN GET SICK MORE OFTEN THAN MEN . . . BUT MEN COMPLAIN MORE WHEN THEY'RE NOT FEELING WELL
I don't know if you know this, but women get sick more often than men. It's just a fact, and it's not exactly breaking news.
But according to a new survey by the British financial services company Engage Mutual, even though women get sick more often than men . . . when men DO get sick, they're WAY more obnoxious about it. Here are some of the results . . .
Women get sick an average of seven times a year and men get sick an average of five times.
57% of the women surveyed say their partner becomes more NEEDY and attention-seeking when he gets sick. While 50% of men say their partner becomes needier.
66% of women say their partner starts complaining constantly when he's sick. And 56% of men say their partner does that.
HALF of the men said that they sometimes exaggerate their illness to try to get maximum sympathy. If it's a cold, guys say it's the flu. If it's a headache, guys say they've got a migraine. And 40% of women exaggerate like that.
BUT . . . women are more likely than men to complain about being sick pretty much every day . . . even though, most of those days, they're not sick.
About 60% of men said their partner complains about health issues daily. And 52% of women say their partner complains he's sick on a daily basis.

HardKoreXXXNew MemberDoes "that time of the month" constitute being sick? Because I think they still have us beat in the complaint department.

Its kind of stupid what they are basing this on. Basically they ask hey how often does your partner complain etc, and taking the answer as the full story.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

Maybe they should re-name the study to "How much of a whiney b-tch is your parner?"

Rocky RaccoonmoderatorNo arguments from me. I'm admittedly a huge cry baby when I'm sick. I just can't handle it.
padre31luxury_boxAll I can say is "Hah!".
Every gf I've had was a closet hypochondriac, various aches and pains and headaches and lack of energy to mood swings.
Put it this way, who keeps better track of their available sick days, men or women?

That's what I was thinking. If they asked the question "do you exaggerate regarding how often your partner complains?" would that invalidate the findings?
MikeHonchosubscriberWe actually get sick...
Half the time they just fake it...
