Default Grumpy Old Man Syndrome

Why do some men get grouchier as they age? - Health - Men's health | NBC News

I don't know the physiological or psychological reasons, but I can say with some authority that my husband has this.

Thanks for posting that!

I'm going to show it to my wife, "See Honey? It's not my fault!" The funny part is, I started getting Grumpy at 50, so I guess it's going to get a lot worse when I turn 60 and 70!

Now I've got to go scream at my 19yr. old son, who is still in bed, at 11:30am!

Kids these days, buncha worthless lazy arses I tell ya!

Back in my day...

The ex-BF had this and was prescribed T-shots to help (supposedly to help his "muscle-tone.") It made him a bit more bearable---but not enough for me to keep his sorry-ass around!
Methinks I have to lower my target age the next time around...

The answer is simple, because life didn't pan out the way it was promised. Where are the flying cars? Where is my robot? Where is the pill that burns off all excess fat and regrows my hair? Where's my retirement?

This is a poorly written article with little medical science and fact.

They have, its called toxoplasmosis. The cats carry a parasite in their poop. The parasite eventually makes it into humans and invades the brain.
