This is mostly because men showing any sign of weakness is blown out of proportion by observers, not because we complain about it.

Right? I make one groan in the office because I'm aching due to food poisoning, and it's like I just emailed the entire floor to come make comments about me acting as if I'm dying.

... why are you in the office when you have food poisoning?

But of course you're likely in the US, so no need to say anything. You guys are fucked in that regard

I'll say, a lot of people say food poisoning when they have any sort of nausea after eating. They should probably still go home, but the degree of sickness is not the same. What gamermanh describes is food poisoning. The 2-3 times I've had that in my life, I'd have preferred death for the ~6-10 hours it afflicted me. And I've had MANY kidney stones.
