WOMEN 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.
