men have an "bravado" front about them... simple
Statistics show women suffer more from mental health problems than men...why?? well the statistics are actually incorrect as they are only based on the women who have activly sought treatment...whereas you are correct westy..men will lay off it until it becomes unbearable...
Women have a higher pain threshold however we dont like to reach that threshold thus seek help sooner....
Men like to go beyond the threshold to prove primative superiority
However.. the term "man flu" comes from..the second they have a sniffle..there dead on the floor...and instantly need nursing...explain that one!?
