Please wait...Man flu is a mysterious condition in which a perfectly healthy-looking man catches the same cold everyone else has and immediately begins acting as though he’s the first human to encounter disease. Symptoms include dramatic sighing, requests for blanket delivery, and the sudden inability to perform basic tasks that were somehow possible 24 hours earlier. Medical experts may disagree on its existence, but sufferers are convinced they’re battling a rare combination of influenza, exhaustion, and a Victorian-era wasting illness. Miraculously, recovery often begins the moment there’s a sporting event to watch or food appears in the kitchen.
