georgym Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I guess this is one of those questions that will either result in one gender bashing the other , or blaming it on a girls' period, which is prolly not the answer I just don't get it. If they don't get their way, they're cranky. If they don't know what to wear, cranky. If the cake comes out just not right, cranky.I don't recall guys getting that cranky. I mean, we get pissed and angry, but it blows over fast. With girls, it seems to linger ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 ...my first guess would be because they have to deal with men... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 ...my next guess would be because they are more emotional creatures than us as well...and then there is the period thing...and the societal aspect of what pressures each gender contends with...etc. etc...BUT...i will say that i dub myself a Moody Bitch and can be quite the cranky pants on occasion...so personally, i dont feel it's a gender oriented issue...but that's just me...

I understand the 1st part for the second, i have my moments, but i try not to let it get to me. Or, i keep it to myself.Maybe it's just some of the people that im meeting, they seem to let their moods run their character. That sounds damn immature, don't it?

That sounds damn immature, don't it? ...it is a level of maturity...as i have gotten older, i've learned to set aside moods appropriately...it comes with age and experience...i.e. i wont go out in a rotten mood...if i feel shitty i will either stay in or switch gears and get into the "right" mood...i let shit go a lot quicker than i used to, which says a lot for a scorpio...but i think as we get older we learn to value time more...we know that it's not worth being cranky, upset, etc for a long period of time...life is too short...so long as we dont sweep the real issues under the rug or side step the issue altogether, this is in my opinion, the mature way of dealing with it......make any cents?...

Yes, this makes tons of "cents" (in fact, so much so that i feel rich now .)But now my next question is, when there is someone you either have a strong friendship with, or are involved with, AND you realize that they aren't dealing with it (side-stepping), or letting their moods get in the way, what can YOU do to help?I think a mix of giving them space, and cheering them up could be a start, no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this person i have in mind is thinking about finding diversions, which makes sense. the person just seems to get worked up over such trivial things.Like u said, i think i'll wait until the person is in a stable mood, then just let the person know.
