New website for keeping track of your wife or girlfriend’s PMS
Posted by Mr. Thoughtful on February 3, 2009
This post is mainly addressed to husbands and those guys who may become husbands someday. It will tell you something about the risk of your wife becoming a real bitch during PMS (prementrual syndrome):
That’s how PMSBuddy.com pitches itself. To wit:
PMSBuddy.com is a free service created with a single goal in mind: to keep you aware of when your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter, or any other women in your life are closing in on “that time of the month” – when things can get intense for what may seem to be no reason at all.
Hat tip: Freakonomics.com
For those of you who haven’t yet married, during PMS time your wife may become extremely irritable. The reason for keeping track of these times is that you can make yourself scarce if possible.
It’s a little secret of marriage that a wife can make a guy’s life miserable if she chooses to do so. Girlfriends don’t do this nearly as much, presumably because they realize on some level that the guy will be reluctant to get married if he realizes how much bitching he will be subject to.

If you rarely see a “girlfriend” it’s easy to miss her time of the month, however, if you date her on a regular (daily/weekly) basis it’ll happen were a guy has to deal with it. You make it sound like it’s something she has control over…newsflash…she doesn’t. Most women aren’t even aware that they are going through it, because the build-up is gradual. As soon as they do know or are made aware of it they’ll take something, because it is a none to pleasant thing for us to go through either. We don’t like feeling miserable.
I have found that men who are great lovers know how to help “relieve” the pressure/stress/tension so that means that all the rest of the guys will just have to deal with it the old fashioned way….LOL
At least women have something to take to alleviate the tension/stress, what exactly is there that men can take for being jerks that women have to deal with on a regular basis. Nothing yet, however, I’m still hopeful.

Seriously, guys need a website to track this? How hard is it to remember something that happens regularly every month, like paying the rent/mortgage?
I’m not of the guys-are-jerks school, but I do think that men, too, have cyclical moods involving crankiness and depression, especially as they age.
