The Male Menopause

~The Male Menopause~ Did you know girl's, men run on hormones too? They are not so different girls from me or from you But when a man reaches his fifties he becomes unstable To blame it on the woman though, - that he is still able. He never likes to think that his hormones are shot He fancies all the woman, and still tries a lot. When his fancy lets him down it never is his fault He blames the woman he’s with - she’s not worth his salt. They like to talk dirty it gets them aroused and all hot But talking about dirty clothes and dishes, is what we have got They have strange fancies and talk to each other “What I could do for her never mind her mother...” They never once think, that what they have got Is certainly what all the girls want - NOT Their hair grows in their ears and in their nose But from the top of their heads that’s from where it goes. Their brains seem to disappear, along with their hair Gosh hormones are hard - life isn’t’ that fair. The male menopause it tends to be of a shorter length But they think its your fault when they begin to lose their strength. Things start to fail and they may look elsewhere But whoever would have them - has already been there They are too old for the young, yet to young for the coffin So just carry on loving them and try to stop scoffing. Tell them they are still - muscular and hot They do it for you, even if they do not They will repay you your kindness when your turns comes around They will show you how to shave, when your beard does abound. They will pretend that your sweats, is them making you hot Just let them get on with it because it happens a lot When your hair goes thin they will say they love it more That’s what a loving relationship and growing old together is for

Yes, men do go through male hormone changes and for some the hormone goes away altogether..Sad..Some go to the doctor and get some hormone replacement patches..Some do dumb things..Some try to keep pushing..My deceased father-in-law told my husband that men have a let down at 45 and then again at 65 and there was not anything for the man at that time..You did a good job writing about the topic..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..Thanks for stopping by my blog..Sara

OH, boy is this ever dismal. But funny stuff. And some of it can sure be true. My favorite part was about them turning around and thinking a woman's hot flashes are from being aroused by THEM!! (and the shaving part!)

Nice hasty generalization about men as they become more mature. Even though this piece could use a little proofreading, your work provided some nice humor for me today.

It is a hasty but well noticed generalisation Robert, mostly sat down while some middle age man tries to chat me up, even with my husband beside me. I love men don't worry and my husband is in agreement with this ditty as he is of that age now, if we can't laugh about it together now we are there it would be a sad time for us both.
