Guys, Why are guys so cuddly when they're sick?

[EdgyOtaku1999]

Okay, so my boyfriend is one of the most cuddly people you will ever meet. He is literally a snuggle monster. Down to cuddle all the time. But when he's sick, he becomes extremely clingy and doesn't even like when I leave the room. Don't get me wrong, I think it's absolutely adorable and I love it, but I have to ask. Why do guys get so snuggly when they're sick?

Okay, maybe I termed this too loosely. Why do SOME guys get really cuddly when they're sick? I know not all of them do.

I have been guilty of this before. I think I behave that way because I'm not feeling well and cuddling with someone I love is a sure way to make me feel at least somewhat good. Plus it shows appreciation for the person if they are taking their time to be with you.

Um I feel like it might have stemmed from childhood. I definitely want more attention from my girl too when I'm sick. Don't leave the room cunt. Don't stop playing with my hair please you worthless bishhhh

Because they know they are being cared for your lucky as not all are like that

[JarnoVanGysegem]

I like to cuddle al the time also if i'm sick but i think if some guys are sick they just like to know that the person who loves him will give him some reason tot je positive and be happy while he is sick

I think it might help pass the time or gets rid of the pain or bad memories it chuld be anything so I would just ask him.

I don't know what that's about. I hate having anyone around when I'm ill, unless it's a medical necessity. I prefer to suffer in silence.

Maybe to show affection to the person who cares for them in their time of need.

some guys including me I'm cuddly most of the times when I'm sick I generally like to be left alone

[MattD99]

maybe they resort to what they were like when they were younger and cuddled with mom

[VooDooBooDoo]

Shit now I want to cuddle

[NiceDave]

You mean *him*, not guys... him.

[EdgyOtaku1999]

No, I mean guys. Because I've heard multiple women say that their boyfriends or husbands or fiances or friends with benefits, what have you, are extremely cuddly when sick. So it's directed towards all guys

[NiceDave]

Huh
Whatever, sick people are less social (yup that's a fact) so no idea

[BeWithMe]

They enjoy being comforted by their SO.
