PMS (Pummel Men Silly?)

What is this mysterious sickness that afflicts our nearest and dearest and makes the sweetest women turn into a raging insensible beast of epic proportions ready to tear your throat out with a swipe of neatly manicured nails?
What is this white noise that only seems to afflict women and leave baffled, confused and sometimes physically battered men in its wake?

Is this purely a chemical reaction? Is it an overreaction? Or is it just women seeking attention and wanting to vent their pent up frustrations on men?

I pity them you know... women go through soo much pain in their lives, its no wonder that they can be a little bonkers sometimes. Period pains, headaches, morning sickness, childbirth... We men...hmm football injuries?

So...the question still remains... What is it that causes this? A close half Egyptian friend of mine told me that when a woman is afflicted with PMS her emotions tend to take over and even the slightest irritation is amplified ten times over...and the best part is, they think they are right! Small mistakes are magnified into huge proportions and the woman ends up feeling hurt for things that she would normally brush off with a laugh.

A lot of men are surprised once every month by women who suddenly burst into tears, gift you with a slap out of nowhere and burst into tears, shout at you and then burst into tears, throw stuff and then burst into tears, call you names and then burst into tears...and the list goes on.

My advice...keep count of the days before the storm breaks, batten down the hatches, and pray...pray hard.

Don't get angry at them my brothers, women are incredibly complex individuals that operate under a totally different concept of logic. Male logic is cause and effect without care for emotional considerations, while female logic fuses these to concepts together. That's why emotions play a very big part in a female's decision making processes, and males tend to shun emotions as being irrational. Neither is correct or wrong, we are just wired differently.

To the women in our lives...have pity on us. We already don't understand you most of the time, give us ample warning four days before you are due...so that we can buy lots of chocolates, cookies and learn Thai massage techniques...if all the above fail...give us time to leave the country :-)

Sigh...another female mystery...

Haha.. someone seems to have taken an interest in this subject matter *wonders why* and is doing a pretty good job at educating these ignorant males we have nowadays of the pain that we suffer EVERY MONTH...

Males: Please be a tad bit understanding towards us when its "time"

Female: Be merciful to the male species and dont overly exaggerate the pain and the PMS-ing

P/s: fareez, a woman cant actually tell everyone especially the male counterpart when she has PMS, coz its rather a private (and to some people an embarassing) thing yknow..

my my dear Fareez..

PMS.. it's just unexplainable. We don't JUST lash out on our male counterparts, we sometimes lash out at anyone... and that includes people we love.

I should know... the latest brawl was bad... n it's not towards Shahril pun.. it was towards my mom. Next thing i know, I got my period malam tu jugak...

So you see.. you are right. During PMS, we tend to be more irritated than our usual times. It's an imbalance but there's aboslute-freaking noway or no how... to know when it's going to strike.

Since it's Pre-Menstrual Syndrom.. which means anytime BEFORE the actual Menstrual cycle itself, it could be at anytime 1 week before period or even two weeks... it doesn't hurt, it is just an annoying feeling.

Believe me, I tried to control it all. Heck, I even kept on chanting what boys keep on saying to us girls, "It's all in the mind"... but it doesn't work.

If someone has the answer or solution, you'd be loved by the men at large and filthy rich, don't you think?
