Why are men so emotional?
The Madness of men’s mood swings
If you’ve been around a man, you get it.
It’s that time of the month — the middle of March.
Of course, it’s not just this month. It seems to happen with regularity every Saturday and Sunday during the fall and winter. Sometimes Thursday nights. Or evenings in October.
The mood swings can feel like whiplash. It’s like one moment they’re cheering and euphoric, and the next moment they’re sullen, forlorn, insecure or angry.
The grumpiness can last for days. They lash out. Some might say men even act unhinged or hormonal — all that testosterone.
It’s like everything is fine, and then men just fly off the handle for seemingly small, inconsequential things — like not being able to properly throw a spherical orange object into a cylinder.
They start fights when people close to them don’t do what they want — like they’re a mind reader!
They call for people to be fired from their jobs. They are not pleased.
