Re: A simple guide to understanding us women.
Dear Concerned Male:<br /><br />Men and women both experience their share of mood swings, but for some reason, females are more often associated with mood swings. When a man is cranky, we chalk it up to a bad day because his stock just plummeted, he didn't get lucky, his boat won't run, he stripped a screw, his favorite team lost, or he bungled up a DIY project and now its gonna take twice as long and cost twice as much to fix.<br /><br />Why the double standard? Women have a right to attribute mood swings to hormonal changes and PMS; there is biological evidence linking one's mood to their menstrual cycle. There is however, no biological evidence linking a male mood swing to anything other than things didn't go his way. Since there is really no serious reason attributed to these mood swings us doctors refer to it as UMS aka "Unidentified Mood Swings".<br /><br />Men have been known to go from extreme happiness and motivation to irritability and lethargy due to absolutely nothing.<br /><br />There is no known cause or cure for UMS and it can lead to stress in women since it varies as far as determining what our threshold for patience and tolerance is from day to day.<br /><br />Note, if these mood swings occur more than usual, and you find yourself apologizing for your behavior more than once every two days you may have whats commonly known as "Continuous Unidentified Mood Swings", which is also considered a character flaw.<br /><br />Seek help immediately.<br /><br />Dr. LadyFish
