Re: There\'s No Crying In Poker
Actually, physiologically speaking, males experience far greater hormonal (testosterone and androgen) shifts in one twenty-four hour period than women do in one twenty-eight day cycle (with regard to the corresponding estrogen and progesterone hormones). (It should be noted that for a small minority of men, however, the shift occurs over a thirty-six hour period rather than a twenty-four hour period.) These hormonal shifts are greater, as you might imagine, in adolescence and early adulthood. Some scientists speculate that the extreme upheavals in testosterone levels at those particular ages might contribute to some of the violence/rage (think school shootings) we see from younger males.
The upshot of all this?
Males can actually be way moodier than females. And think twice before pissing off your 'roid-bulked-out 22 year-old male dealer.
