Men are most definitely wimpy when it comes to being ill.  Be it a cold or a slight bit of gas, they need to be treated like they have just been run over by a train----lots of love, lots of concern, lots of attention, lots of extra special stuff done for them. Their feet must be rubbed and their heads. They need a cool cloth on their head and some soup made which is best  provided by simply feeding them with a spoon.  You have to watch whatever program on tv they wish to see and must ignore the fact that you are being forced to sit through this crap and instead praise them for feeling well enough to at least look at tv; for example, you beam as you say,  "I'm so glad to see that you feel good enough to watch this. You're getting better honey!"  And if you are especially good or especially nuts, you will change the bed, pull out a nice fresh pair of pajamas and as he feebly gets into them,  iron the sheets so that the bed can be all nice and toasty for him.  Most men see said behavior as the minimum required when they are out of sorts.

I hate it when my wife try’s to give me lots of love, lots of concern, lots of attention, lots of extra special stuff done for me when I am sick. :yuck: its worse then being sick.

All this means is that the "extra special stuff" your wimpyness requires is that she play the role of treating you like a man and let you suffer in silence. :D

That's my husband.

Except he is not exactly silent. He kvetchs and complains, but when I try to help he tells me to leave him alone :rolleyes:

I just hate listening to his kvetching. :angry: If he wants to be left alone he should shut up and stop complaining. Then I will leave him alone.

I bet Dante does the same thing to his wife. :whistle:

Where is the true man who is not afraid to say that being afraid of maggots and wearing pink shirts (or skirts) does not in any way affect his manhood? :shrug: :whistle: :doh:

I wore a pink towel a few weeks ago! Very comfy!! :yes:

I quite enjoyes it..

So, some men are wimpy when they're sick?
I wouldn't know. My white blood cells and T-cells are so manly that I never get sick. I was once sprayed in the face with live anthrax. Didn't even sneeze.

I have a question.

I have to say that this stereotype of men being wimpy when sick is wholly false. I caught a cold on the airplane on the way back from vacation, and pretty much spent the weekend in bed. I made my own meals, I took my medicine, watched some video, and when my wife popped in occasionally to ask if I needed anything, I said, "No thanks, honey." She, on the other hand, gets this whiney voice whenever she's sick and wants me to lay with her and watch TV and make her food. Which I am happy to do.

So there. :P

Like many men, you confuse behaviors associated with love and affection with weakness and timidity. Tsk. Tsk.

Not true.

I can tell over the internet when you are under the weather. You get all grumpy and start getting on everyone's case. You have admitted as much yourself :P

Nope.
I just don't consider catering to the needs of some sick, wimpy, whiny little pencilneck to be an act of love.
If you women really loved your wimpy husbands, I mean REALLY loved them enough to want to help make them better men, you'd tell them to get off their lazy butts and make their own peanut butter and banana sammiches. Run their own baths. Q-tip their own ears, because you're going to the beautician to get the corns sanded off your toes.

See, that's my experience.
When women love the Slickhead (a terribly common occurrence; some might call it a curse) they go to the beautician to make themselves presentable.
They bring me Twinkies or Pop-Tarts for no reason other than they happened to be thinking about me and felt like a little canoodling might be in order.
They convince the local zookeeper to bring a couple of monkeys over to Maison Slickhead for me to play with. (The cute little monkeys who don't fling poo.)

If you women REALLY love your husbands, tell them to get there own sammiches, and get them a monkey to play with.
That's love.

OK, true. Grumpy, but not whiney. Difference. ;)

And I'm only grumpy at work. When I'm at home sick, I am usually sleeping or watching videos, so I'm not. But being sick and having to babysit attorneys......... :realmad:

^^^ Hey I play that song with my band. :rotfl: However, you need to make a correction and take the word "just" out.

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

Quote:
 
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:

Chorus - 1
You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.

You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas, I'll wear pyjamas and give up
pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we , Better call the whole off off
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 2
You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let's call the whole thing off,

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters, I'll order oysters and cancel
the ersters
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 3
I say father, and you say pater, I saw mother and you say mater
Pater, mater Uncle, auntie, let's call the whole thing off.

I like bananas and you like banahnahs, I say Havana and I get Havahnah
Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah, Go your way, I'll go mine

So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters, So all right no contest we'll
order lobseter
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

I'm wimpy around spiders! I hate them! Not small ones, but big ones like tarantulas. They are scary :scared: If someone threw one on me, they better be in the next county by the time I get myself together. If I catch up with them, there will be a hefty price to pay. One of my old co-workers found out the hard way. :evil1:
