Men really do have an excuse for supposedly being wimpy about coughs and colds - their immune systems are not as strong as women's, research suggests.
BBC.

Do you see? DO YOU SEE?!

Man flu is real, I knew it.

God damn strong ass women, grrrr :p
 
i could see a lot of factors going into this, but this i'm sure i've hear this before too.
 
Doesnt that kinda make sense seeing as when pregnant the immune system fights for two?

That does make sense......during pregnancy. ;) Lots of things happen to a woman's body during pregnancy.


It's not the Flu that's different though. It's that we're crap at fighting it.
So the women are right about this one.
:eek:

So women are better at fighting disease, have a higher pain tolerance than men, and get less grossed out from blood?


Perhaps us men have been the 'women' all this time. Certainly explains my relationships....
