I don't even care who is supposedly doing the making up, I'd just like to ML a lot lol.

I figure it might be time to let down some of my barriers. I.e. letting him know where I live, having him over, also having him share some of the travel burden. And he seemed open to that last night.

So, I didn't really look in the mirror all day. I just discovered I have a hickey again. I literally have (not very visible luckily) teeth marks over my collar bone lol.


I took the Irritable Male Syndrome quiz on behalf of H. He scored very high in escape, uncompassionate, impulsive, and exhausted.

Type 5: Uncompassionate
Men who fall into this category have a difficult time empathizing with others. We are often quite independent and self-sufficient and we have trouble with people who are emotional. Those close to us say we don’t communicate or share our feelings. We often have suffered emotional wounds and don’t want to risk getting hurt again.

Type 6: Exhausted
Men who fall into this category are tired a good deal of the time. We often feel stressed at home and at work. Life can seem overwhelming at times and we think of getting away from it all. Our energy level is low and it seems we are often running on empty. We may have difficulty sleeping. We often feel we haven’t lived up to our potential.

Type 7: Impulsive
Men who fall into this category are unpredictable. We can be impulsive and excitable. When we are feeling at our best we can be lively, fun, and outrageous in a positive way. When we are down we can become defensive and argumentative. Things can be going along well and all of a sudden something sets us off and we blow up.

Type 8: Escape
Men who fall into this category cover their feelings with alcohol and other drugs, food, T.V., and computers. We use nicotine to give us a boost as well as to relax. We may smoke marijuana. Alcohol is often a significant presence in our lives. We often over-eat and spend hours lost in front of the T.V. or the computer. We want to zone out.

I find it interesting that almost all the symptoms overlap with male depression. But I'm not a psychologist.
