Moody Men

What do men call it when they have mood swings, ups and downs, and are overly emotional? I'm really curious. There's a friend that thinks that anytime a female is in disagreement with him or is angered by his words they they must be "insane", "hormonal", or its the time of the month.

What's it called when you have to quiet yourself and retreat without warning or caution so you can get your mind right when something is troubling your spirit? Maleopause?

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
