ON THE CUTTING EDGE: It’s Not You, It’s Her
A man’s wife or POSSLQ gets pissed off at him for leaving his dirty dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher or washing them himself, or shoving a week’s worth of dirty socks under the bed so she is forced to crawl underneath on all fours to retrieve them on laundry day, or watching TV instead of getting dinner started when she had to stay late at the office and has come home bone tired. That can only mean one thing: She’s on the rag.
So "self-preservation" demands that the man anticipate when he’s most likely to encounter a hormone-related mood swing by tracking the monthly cycles of the woman in his life. And he can choose amongst several iPhone apps to do the job, including: PMS Buddy, PMSTracker and MyMate, CNET News reports.
The premise behind such calendars is that one can chart the monthly surge of female hormones that could make some - not all - women hyperirritable. Since men have a consistent level of male hormones in their systems, it’s impossible to figure out what sets them off, and when they’re likely to become petulant, sarcastic or nasty.
