Why Are Women So Unsympathetic?
:D It's true!!! I ask based on this article:

Men's cold comfort: A woman's sympathy lasts just five minutes when her partner gets the sniffles
By Daily Mail Reporter
Most men know better than to expect much sympathy from their partner when they catch a cold.
In fact, a woman's patience with a sniffling chap tends to run out in a mere five minutes, a survey claims.
Wives and girlfriends freely admit that they have little time for their partner's suffering after the cold bug strikes.
But when it is the woman who is feeling below par, a man will not only mop her brow but will even take a day off to look after her, cook and clean.
The study, from the makers of the cold treatment Lemsip All In One, casts doubt on the traditional image of a female nursemaiding her husband or boyfriend through the coughs and sneezes of what has become known as man flu.
It found 52 per cent of women say they lose sympathy for their under-the-weather partner within five minutes of his starting to complain.
And 18 per cent of women don't even last that long, admitting they start off unsympathetic and continue from there.
By contrast 70 per cent of men claim to be sympathetic to a partner with a cold. [SNIP]
