It's every desperate single woman in her thirties for herself out there, honey.

That is the most insightful thing you have ever said. It's totally true for me. Make me laugh and all is fine in the world.

Sebby's marriage is in good shape. There's this, and he cleans the cat box.

I don't think I said it. I think LTL said it. I agreed because its common sense and works for both sexes. I can only be dragged from my ruts through laughter.

Now, to whoever said men have hormonal mood swings, I say "bullshit." My mood is uniformly perfect when I'm not here. When I have to organize anything or deal with writing formal legal docs, I am miserable. I am unfiromly miserable at all times when behind a desk. But when I'm out, the mood perks right up. In fact, I'm downright chatty among people. Hormones have nothing at all to do with any of it. Its the pain of being locked in a flourescent death chamber for too much of the day that makes men, and I suspect a lot of women, unhappy.

Duh. She's dragging him around in public dressed as Hansel this Halloween. She must have something going on.

You could agree to have her tell you if she's just bitching to bitch (venting), or if she's really serious. I'm assuming (ass, you, me) that you are dating someone intelligent enough and self-aware enough to recognize the difference.

It doesn't matter if they're stupid or brilliant. If the emotion behind their mood is strong enough, telling them whether or not or asking them if they are being serious is not the right move because as far as they are concerned, you are being insensitive.

God knows, you are moody as fuck.

My mood is pretty consistent. And when I get angry, I can point you directly to the cause (for example, you and your stupid argument based on the most recent conclusion you jumped).

To the extent this is on a monthly cycle, you could (for your own edification) analogize to how your behavior is affected when your hormones are whipped into a frenzy. Are your thoughts and perceptions substantively different? Do you have to go through an extra level of thought to determine rational behavior ("If I weren't hornier than an elephant's tusk, would I be reacting the same way?")? It's not dissimilar.

My hormones don't get whipped into a frenzy. And when I'm horny, I'm thinking about the same things and thinking in the same way is when I'm not (as) horny.

I said, when men's hormones are in a frenzy (e.g., lust) their thought processes are different. Things that they genuinely believe during the hormonal frenzy are practically incomprehensible when the hormones clear. I'm not saying that the lust puts you in a pissy place, just that your thought processes are actually different. Is this not true? Are you really saying "I love you" when you come just to fuck with our heads?

You are generalizing, your mood is not consistent, and if your thinking is identical when not horny as when horny, I would not want to fuck you. Not that I think you would ever deign to fuck me. I'm just saying.

Explain what the fuck you're talking about.

When I'm horny I want to fuck. When I'm not horny, I think about getting horny with whoever is attractive in the room and fucking them.

Maybe its a personal thing, but there's love and there's sex. I've generally never been thinking about love during sex. Sometimes it happens, but usually afterward or leading up to sex.

I don't think I've either said or heard someone say "I love you" at the moment when they're coming. Its usually more animalistic face contortions and heavy breathing, yelling and such...

OK, see, now you are just being annoying. A detailed deconstruction of my reference to a total cliche.

You don't think a man is thinking about anything emotional when he's horny, do you? He's not. Its like being hungry, but more intense.

And I thought women were equally solely appetite-driven when horny. Are you telling me that when women are horny, they're emotional to boot? This conflicts with my experiences. They ususally seem to get emotional only AFTER sex.

Ya know, I thought for a sec, this is a cliche, and then I fell right into it... fuck me.
