Well are we?

I've got the flu, I've been unable to fall asleep for something like 50 hours, I failed at getting drunk, I don't even have the energy for a decent wank, and... In short, I'm miserable. And my wife's in Germany (and working, damnit), so there's no one to smother me with attention and sympathy.

Ack..

But it made me think. I've never heard any girls bitch about how terrible random bi-annual sick period is. Not unless they've been parked in the bedroom anyway, and even then, boys tend to make a hell of a lot more of it in my experience. So are we all whiny little bastards? Or is it just me?

I've never heard anyone bitch about how terrible random bi-annual sick period is.

So maybe it's just you that's whinier?

So maybe it's just you that's whinier?I hate you :p

Boys are whinier because you're mama's boy! :p

I find that I'm whinier when I know it is not a problem or I'll get over it soon. Though if it is an actual problem I'll be damned if I mention it before I deal with it.

So to answer your question, yes I believe that I am whinier than some girls I know.

Seriously though, I suspect we are more prone to whining. I've lived with a couple of boyfriends over the years, and like me, they were far greater attention whores when they were sick than any girlfriends I've lived with. It's purely anecdotal, of course, but still... No woman's ever moaned about how nice fresh sheets would be when they come out of the shower. Yet I, and the few I've observed under similar conditions, do shit like that without fail.

Can't say I'm that bad, though when I'm sick, or physically hurt, I will milk it for all it's worth.

I'm emo.

I whine when I'm sick, until everyone wants to kill me.

I only whine to myself.

But I have no problem with other people whining. Unless it's about something really stupid.

I'm emo.


well saying that we are talking about whiny men then well heres a winner all emos want is attention...Lol...Just Kidding :)

I'm emo.Nah, just deeply disturbed.I whine when I'm sick, until everyone wants to kill me.Well... You are emo :pI only whine to myself.Unless you're schizo and the other you's suffer ADD or something, I'm not sure I see the point? Scratch that, I'm sure I don't see the point.

Well... You are emo :P

:mad:

You laugh now, but I've driven friends (and even a girlfriend) away because I was whining about being sick and just wouldn't shut up. I'm a right little asshole when I'm not well.

Well... I'm a right little asshole all the time.

My wife wanted me to tell all of you how whiny I can get. I refuse.

Unless you're schizo and the other you's suffer ADD or something, I'm not sure I see the point? Scratch that, I'm sure I don't see the point.

I don't either. There isn't any.

I don't really believe it most of the times people try to state inherent personality differences between the sexes.

"whiny" appears to just be a pejorative term for complaining. If you just change the tone/style of your voice, it won't be called whining any more.

I complain most often when I don't understand what is happening especially when there are people right next to me who could be explaining it to me but are not. And when I'm left on my own.

I'm emo.

No, emos don't have a soul or a brain.

Yes and no. Fugazi is unquestionably influenced by emo, and the two frontmen of the band had played in "Emocore" bands before they came to Fugazi, but Fugazi is generally considered to be "Post-Hardcore".

Not that emo, but the crowd definately has 'emoistic' behavior. Bad hair and clothing. Dancing like a bunch of mindless retards. I'd say it was the father of modern emo.

That "Retarded" dance was the product of a desire to get rid of slamdancing in the DC scene. DC was known for really violent slamdancing, and it was driving women out of the scene. They were dancing stupidly because they were trying to find something to replace slamdancing.

I just showed my wife the lyrics to the song Suggestion. This fits in well with that. I now have more ammo to get her to love Fugazi.

Fugazi were leading the crusade against slamdancing. Suggestion was actually a song about the problem of rape in the DC scene. Fugazi also did a lot of shows with Riot Grrl bands.

Then again, most emo isn't my thing. I prefer stuff I can dance to. Might be terribly anti-scene, but I go to shows to dance, get drunk and talk to my friends. All the other shit works far better when I'm sober and not distracted.

So you bring me up to crash me down even harder? Well, anyway, Janis Joplin wasn't motivated by anything more than the big business by Southern Comfort. Can I at least take refuge in that?

If you got kick out of the show, you'd get your money back too.

If you're sick and you can whine, you're OK. If you're so sick, and can't whine ... you're in trouble.

You may have some valid points somewhere in there but you're still some sort of whiny bitch and it's largely just you.

I think we are, yes. Particularly for small things like a cold. However, a few of times when I've had broken fingers/thumbs it's taken me at least a day to go & see a doctor. Maybe we try & hide from the more serious things & pretend they're not happening.

I don't believe most of the generalisations people make about the sexes like that.

Sure but the emo they are to "blame" for is very different from the rock bands that get called "emo" now.

I'm whiney when I'm getting over sickness, or before I really realize I'm getting sick. Once I know I'm sick, I get quite placid and accepting.

I think humans are whiny, but different people tend to whine about different things.

Now how do I get you to make me tea?

Ah, fuck it. I'll just try sleeping instead.

My ex-husband certainly was whiny when he was sick.

I remember once when all four of us were sick - me, the kids and him. The kids stayed quietly in their cribs (they were 8 months and 20 months respectively) and made, for babies, few demands. I schlepped around puking, changing diapers, changing sheets on the cribs, doing laundry and trying to stay ahead of things. My ex stayed in bed and rang that damned bell every ten minutes for orange juice, soup, cold washrags, etc. He acted like he was dying - he didn't, damn it.

Egghiccup;12615387']I haven't had a day off sick in over 10 years. The last few times I came close I just got on with it. Like when I did my back in and the pain was sobad I could hardly breath - I still walked 2 miles to work. And when I had to have a molar pulled out, I went back to work for the last hour. In my experience it's women that moan the most. I was the only man in my department and I have never heard so much whining coming out of those women's mouths.

If it wasn't their tits hurting it was their periods, or not getting enough sex (by the way that was because they were hanging). Women whine the most and do you know why they get periods? Because they deserve them!

You don't have any girlfriends, right?

I whine when I'm sick, but only because it only happens about three to four times a year so I'm not really used to it.

I think men possibly are whinier when sick (I'm not sure why this is), however from my experience working in offices, women seem to take sick leave more readily.

random bi-annual sick periodWhat? Meaning you're sick twice a year?

I think I missed the last dozen or so :/

don't know have not been sick in a long long time
i think its the soy sauce, worcestershire sauce,garlic and a pinch of salt mix together in a glass that helps

Egghiccup;12615458']The target score was under 30 - otherwise your sickleave was questioned and investigated. My score was 0. two girls I worked with had scores of 230 and the other had...........OVER 2000!That's like... like... damn..

recently i read a paper or something wich said that generaly women report pain more than men. of course this tells nothing about how they tell this, so it could be that men are whinier. i think it differs more from person to person than it does between men and women though.

In my experience, women are more likely to whine about other women, 'bitch' if you will, but that may be due to more of my friends being women. I think women are more likely to take time off when ill, men may just ignore but end up getting worse because of that. But generally it depends more on the person than the gender.

What? Meaning you're sick twice a year?

I think I missed the last dozen or so :/You'd think so, wouldn't you? I didn't actually mean bi-annual. I meant once every other year. Feel free to laugh your ass off.Egghiccup]My company used the Bradford scale for monitoring absence.

The target score was under 30Good thing your company never hired me. I'd strangle anyone idiotic enough to employ such a system against people I work with. HR should be on top of the employees at all times, to make sure everyone's needs and problems get sorted. Firing people based on some random number sustem, especially one no parent could ever hope to fit into, is beyond fucked up.

Do tell which company it is so I can make certain I'm boycotting it. And encourage a strike while you're at it.two girls I worked with had scores of 230 and the other had...........OVER 2000!If it really took a pointless system like that to notice two ghost-employees, I can't help but wonder how the fuck the company manages to keep afloat...

And just for the record; my score'd be 0 as well.

I never understand my husband's whiny-ness, I am 80% sure it's fever related though, because he can be very sick and still go to work and everything because "that's what a provider does" but as soon as the man gets a fever he is all annoying.

For example he went to work with a pinched nerve for a week, in major pain (I could tell by the way he carried himself) but then a few months later he got a cold and was in bed for 36 hours.......:confused:

I don't get it.

I tend to be a complainer, but I go about my business anyway, for example last night I was in a lot of pain and I snapped at everyone, and complained and whined and wrote bad poetry, but I still did 7 hours of work after the kids went to bed. I never really complain outside of the house though, well, except here or maybe on my blog........in fact I got a call yesterday to babysit and almost accepted when my husband took the phone away to inform my friend that I had a kidney stone and was very sick, she was shocked "she doesn't sound sick" and he said "believe me, she is sick, she wouldn't turn you down either way though"

The only time I missed school for anything even vaguely related to sickness was when I fainted in school (I wasn't the only person; they had us outside standing for a ceremony on a day that was unusually hot for that time of year, and about three people total fainted). I didn't even want to leave; they said I had to and got my dad to take me home. But I came back later to take a test, and got 100% on it, of course. That was back in middle school. I haven't had any sort of absence for sickness in high school.

That's not a nice thing to say. Why do I deserve periods on a monthly basis for something that I'd be better off without anyway? What have I done that makes me "deserve" a period? I'm never going to have children, so it's more the idea that blood is pouring out of a part of my body for no good reason and no future benefit that is gross to start with for seven days and the constant reminders that I have such an icky body part that bother me, rather than the cramps (which are still painful, though), which do always seem to have a habit of starting right when I'm in the middle of a test in school. But usually I just try to find the most comfortable position that's possible in inherently uncomfortable school desks and deal with it, or sit on the floor in the cafeteria against the wall since the seats in there have no backs, or, as I did last year, not let it change my plans and walk to the YMCA afterschool while carrying a backpack that's a little less than a quarter of my weight.

Yes, I'll tell people about it if a close friend asks how I am or if someone I know asks why I look so pale, or if I don't have enough pads to make it through the day and have to ask someone else I know if they happen to have an extra one, but I think that there's a difference between telling someone that it's your period or that you're sick and whining about it.

Men are whinier than women because men release their grievances when they occur, thereby freeing up valuable internal space for things like food.

Women, however, bottle up their complaints, storing them until they can be unleashed in a furious torrent during an argument with their husband or boyfriend.

Occasionally, when no male is available, women will have to turn this fissile mass of raw emotion upon other women, leaking it out in a steady trickle through gossip and other passive-aggressive means of retaliation.

And nah. The only booze that I've tried and liked is Mike's Hard Lemonaide, and Fireball Whiskey. Admittedly, I don't drink much at all.. But I've tried different beers on different occasions and none of them appeal to me. I get that it's an acquired taste, but I don't really want to acquire it.

When it comes to whining and flu then men definately top the poll...if I get so much of a sniffle I need round the clock attention from my girl...

but as far as anything else goes in life its a woman every time :cool:

I don't base my view on men and women off comedians.

I do stand up in my local city and ive yet to see a woman stand up that makes me laugh...that's in no way a sexist comment...I don't know...they just tend to bomb on stage alot more than men do :confused:

Most Americans answer questions such as "how are you doing?" by replying that they are O.K., good, etc. - we do this even when we don't feel well because we think that's what we are expected to do. Men may complain to a spouse or partner if they don't feel well, but usually not to other people. This hasn't changed much during the last fifty years. What has changed is the tolerance women have for any male behavior they don't like - it's decreased dramatically. That certainly doesn't encourage male whining. Whether we're talking about "complaining" or "whining", it's still not socially acceptable. In the 1950s, British people used to say "keep a stiff upper lip"; today Americans say "suck it up". So much for change on this issue.

i've heard it said that men feel the effects of a cold/flu more than women because of men's comparitively larger cranial size, meaning there's more pressure on male sinus', making the cold feel a lot worse.

but then that could have been said in jest.... :P

in going to highschool, ive never encountered a guy who whines as much as a girl, all i ever hear from them is a complaint about one thing or another, gus definitely dont whine as much, unless that guy is a little girlyman

Plus it is not blood flowing from your vagina but womb lining. A point my girlfreind makes everytime she convinces me to fuck her when her period is due (she doesn't get PMT she just gets horny) and I end up with the red stuff on the end of my cock.

It's not my fault I was born female. That doesn't mean I deserve periods, it just means that I am being punished for what Eve did. If I could choose, I'd rather be neither male nor female, just neutral. It would suit me better.

It doesn't matter. Regardless, it's gross and it reminds me that those parts of my body exist when I'd rather they didn't, or that they'd at least do nothing so that I can completely ignore them more easily.

There is nothing wrong with whining. :mad:

I didn't think it was possible, but you just made me more gay.

Egghiccup;12615862']To be honest I think I prefer a clot in my Jap's eye to a nugget of poo.

Cleanliness is key. :D Never had a problem with unwanted bodily products yet.

Egghiccup;12615889']I have after a bit of post-pub anal.

Michael Gambon once told an interviewer that her used to be gay but had to give it up - as it made his eyes water.

I have a hard time believing that someone can just "give up" a sexual orientation, leading me to believe that statement was in jest, or Michael Gambon is an idiot.

Anyway, I'm monogamous, and in my experience, since anal is par for the course with gays, most people out for a good time will make sure they're cleaned up.

Egghiccup;12615903']His statement was a response to an idiotic interviewer that asked him if it was difficult playing Oscar Wilde given the whole gay thing. He is known for talking bollocks to interviewees and is is no way an idiot.

Then, as I suspected, it's in jest. Which has.. no relevance to anything, really.

And that's my cue to go to bed. Goodbye.

Well at least I'm not alone then.

Seriously though, I suspect we are more prone to whining. I've lived with a couple of boyfriends over the years, and like me, they were far greater attention whores when they were sick than any girlfriends I've lived with. It's purely anecdotal, of course, but still... No woman's ever moaned about how nice fresh sheets would be when they come out of the shower. Yet I, and the few I've observed under similar conditions, do shit like that without fail.

Are you kidding? I suffered a genitalia injury, and my mom had to force me to put ice on it and not be so active.

I'm sure my posts here have demonstrated what a whingeing little so and so I am. :)

I never whine while I'm sick. I just take advantage of the situation and stay home from school and do nothing even if I have the energy to go. Being sick can be quite relaxing occasionally, it's like taking a couple of days off.

The most pathetic, bullshit, reactionary whiney rant I've had the displeasure to come across in a loooong time.

AHAHAHA...HAHAHA...HAHAHAAAAA (wheezes for breath)

Anybody who takes that seriously has no value for their sanity

Didn't TAI and Wilgrove actually make threads to that effect?

Wilgrove, yeah, I remember that one, but who the hell is TAI?

TAI = The Atlantian Isles, one of my friends on NS. He used to post quite a lot.

I don't whine much when I'm sick. I just lay on the couch and fall aslepp watching really bad TV that only shows when everyone is at school/work...

Then again, I live in the USA, all TV is crappy here.

So no, I don't whine much unless there's nothign to watch. And even then I start writing.

But I'm female, so...

The man with the sexy hair! You can find him posting in the Whatcha Look Like thread recently :)

I don't tend to whine when I'm sick...

...But I do get really pissed off when I ask people to get me things, and then they use mean, derogative language in response. I mean, come the fuck on, you're not three feet from the fucking kitchen, and I'm hammered by a bad cold. Would it kill you to get me a fucking cookie?

Posted above is pretty much what it's like when I ask somebody for *one* small thing when I'm sick... So, as you can imagine, I pretty much never ask for stuff when I'm sick anymore. I just stay quiet and sleep as much as possible.

Yeah, that's what I do, except no writing.
