For instance, instead of having a month-long hormone cycle like gals, males go through an entire hormone cycle in a single 24 hours. Another difference: Men have 10 times more testosterone than women, so their hormone cycle is usually all about how their testosterone affects them. A man’s body does make estrogen and progesterone like a woman’s body, though in much smaller amounts. So, what’s a man’s 24-hour hormone cycle look like? His testosterone is highest in the morning when he wakes up and gets lower and lower as the day goes on. Here’s some of what you can expect throughout his day: Morning: Testosterone is highest His hormone horoscope: He’s at his most energetic, talkative, aggressive, focused, competitive, independent, impulsive and confident. He also may be antsy or quick to anger and is more likely to say “no” to a favor or request for something you want, like a raise. His virility is at its peak. So is his ability to read maps and do spatial thinking. Best time to… Have him put together a piece of furniture or fix a shelf, have him compete in a contest, give him a project to do solo, figure out the best driving route and initiate passionate sex. Afternoon: Testosterone is in the middle of its cycle His hormone horoscope: He’s a tad mellower than his morning self, but isn’t going on empty just yet. As a result, he’s still upbeat, driven and focused, but not as quick to anger. He’s more open to working with others rather than going solo. You’ll also catch him smiling more now than in the morning. Best time to… Invite him to work as part of a team, have him talk to or pitch clients or customers, brainstorm ideas with him. Evening: Testosterone is lowest His hormone horoscope: He’s more passive, agreeable and low-key. He may feel tired or fuzzy. His libido hits its lowest point. For some men, this low point is still quite high, making him interested and capable of passionate sex; in other men, they may feel too tired to have sex or have difficulty maintaining an erection. Best time to… Ask him for a favor, request a raise (ask after 4 pm if your workday ends at 5 pm), get him to agree to the pink living room curtains or pose any other question that you need a “yes” to. He’ll be more likely to give in now than in the earlier hours of the day. The exceptions: A man’s testosterone is affected by things he does. For instance, his testosterone level rises when he drinks alcohol or caffeine, sees an action movie, plays video games or competes in or anticipates a sports game or game of chess. His testosterone also rises when he simply watches his favorite team compete. While his testosterone stays high if his team wins, it plunges if his team loses, making him feel blue, cranky or lethargic. WHAT ABOUT WOMEN? Now that you know all about a guy’s hormone cycle, learn about the female hormone cycle, too! _____________________________________ http://health.howstuffworks.com/sexual-health/male-reproductive-system/10-things-about-male-hormones.html 2: Men have Monthly Cycles There's plenty of information (official and anecdotal) about the wax and wane of female hormone levels throughout the month. But did you know that men's hormones rise and fall each month, too? These 30-day hormone cycles are still a controversial topic within the medical community, largely because there's not a lot of data to back up the idea. Still, it makes sense to many people that men probably experience monthly hormonal ups and downs that affects mood and energy levels. After all, there are seasonal, daily and even hourly deviations in hormone levels. Testosterone quantities can range up and down four or five times an hour, and are typically higher in the morning and lower at night. For many men, testosterone levels follow a seasonal pattern, too: They are increased in the fall and decreased in the spring. [source: Diamond]. Keeping track of mood fluctuations for 30 days will likely reveal an emotional pattern prompted by hormones; simply understanding what's behind one's attitude can make a big difference in daily interactions, as you'll read on the next page. Some scientists now think male hormones fluctuate monthly just like female hormones do and may cause mood changes.

Regardless of the hormonal cycle, everyone needs to treat others as they wish to be treated( see 1st Corinthians 13-its like a smile or top 40 hit. Everybody likes it-my grandma and your grandma sitting by the fire; Hey now!!) with reasonable communication and reasonable approaches to the cycle like reviewing the news, doing a cross-word, eating some chocolate from IKEA or going to the gym. You cannot covet God's child and nor can you make people responsible for your immature (fruitloop) approach to hormonal changes; too many fruitloops and not enough science tv documentary in your regular habits and diet. Change the fruitloops.
